10 Best Joker Movie Moments

10. The Dehydration Gun (Batman 1966)

If there's one personality trait that defines the Joker, it's his lack of empathy. He just doesn't care. You get the impression that he'd literally steal candy from a baby if he got the chance, or even worse, blow the baby away and take the treats afterwards.

And this trait is portrayed brilliantly in the 1966 Batman movie, in which The Joker and a band of other super-villains - Penguin, Catwoman and Riddler - come into possession of a 'dehydration gun,' which, as the name implies, will thoroughly dry out its victims and turn them to dust.

On his first time using the weapon, The Joker simply waltzes into a room packed full of world leaders and, without a care in the world, begins to dispatch them mercilessly. A lot of other movie villains would probably try out their death machine on a smaller scale first, but the Joker, gleeful laughs and all, isn't afraid to mess with anyone, of any level of authority.

It's the perfect way to showcase The Joker's ruthless nature, even in a more frivolously comical environment.
