Episode of Justice League cut to just the scenes with the Joker. Always good, even though he is much more subdued here than the Batman Animated Series version. Still, Mark Hamill (who voices the character here) can do no wrong in this part.
A tribute to the laughing psychopath, as portrayed in Tim Burton’s ’89’s Batman movie, played incredibly by Jack Nicholson.

The mad love duo does their version of “painting the town red”. From the episode, Two of a Kind on The Batman series.

Poison Ivy is seen in Arkham Asylum during the flashback to Harley Quinn’s origins, meaning that this episode takes place at least after Poison Ivy’s premiere episode, “Pretty Poison”. This episode takes place with the designs of Batman and the Joker from Batman Gotham Knights in Harley’s flashback of how she became Harley Quinn. But at that time she was in Batman: The Animated Series which had different designs for them.
