10 Times Joker Outsmarted Everyone

10. Making The Batman Who Laughs - Dark Nights: The Batman Who Laughs

With the Batman Who Laughs currently being the trendy new villain on the scene, it's only fair to give credit to the man responsible for making him: none other than the Joker himself.

The villainous Bat would be created in an alternate universe where the chemicals that created the Joker would corrode further at his morals, requiring him to be put down by the Batman. Unfortunately for him, the clown's death would release a special version of the Joker toxin, which would twist the Dark Knight into his new evil form.

Interestingly, while this series has Batman state that the Joker had no idea what would happen to him posthumously, the Batman Who Laughs spin-off series suggests heavily that he would've had to be aware, given that the main universe's Joker knows all these details without ever being told.

There are few other plans that manage to sabotage the Dark Knight's life so well, as not only does the Joker corrupt one version of Batman, but he does so in a way where this twisted Bat goes on to ruin the lives of countless other heroes - sort of like the circle of life, if the circle of life was comprised solely of millions of versions of Batman.
