Batman: No Laughing Matter/Tropes


 * Actor Allusion: The Joler notes Batman must be desesperate if he wabrs to firm an alliemce with him, as Loki did in Thor: The Dark World.
 * Adaptational Jerkass: A mild one. Batman is still compassionate about hus fies, but he believes mental illnesses inherently turn someone insabe. Part of his arc involves him overcoming this mimdset.
 * Big Damn Heroes: The Joker manahes to kill The Batman Who Laughs before he could kill his Earth's Batman.
 * Crazy-Prepared: The Batman Who Laughs. Is the fact that he is so prepared everyone just plays to his games what makes him such a deadly foe.
 * Mythology Gag:
 * Upon realizing Batman wants his help, Joker says "You need me Sunny Jim?", ehich is almost word-for-word what he said to Batman in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Game Over For Owlman!".
 * The Joker kills the Batman Who Laughs by pretending to shoot him with a "Bang!" Gun he later reveals is real, whoch is how he killed Bozo in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
 * Nightmare Fuel: As in the comics, The Batman Who Laughs. The sight of someone with the Joker, but with the tactical mind and knowledge of the Batman, makes him a downright teerifying foe you do not want to meet.
 * The Only One Allowed to Kill You: How the Joker feels about killing Batman, which is why he kills The Batman Who.Laugjs at the end.
 * Role Reprise:
 * Keanu Reeves reprises his role as the Dark Knight from DC League of Super-Pets.
 * Similarly, Ralph Fiemnes returns as Alfred from The LEGO Batman Movie.
 * Shout-Out: The Batman Who Laughs detonates a Batarang at Batman's face in reference tomthe climax of Spider-Man (2002).
