10 Comics Villains Humiliated By The Joker
7. Carnage
Back in the days Marvel and DC didn't make most of their money from movies and would still play nice with each other, two of their heavy hitters, Spider-Man and Batman, had one of the occasional crossovers comic fans were blessed with.
In September 1995, circumstances brought together Joker and the homicidal symbiote Carnage (Cletus Kasady) on one side, and Batman and Spider-Man on the other. In a complicated story involving control chips that were supposed to dampen both Joker's and Carnage's psychoses, but failed, Spider-Man ends up in Gotham helping Batman.
Joker quickly realizes that Carnage's brand of mass murder has, in his words, no 'style' or 'theater' and he compares the symbiote's work to that of David Hasselhoff. This enrages Carnage (as it should anyone) and Joker then takes his first hit at Carnage by sneaking out of their hideout before blowing it into tiny bits, apparently killing the symbiote.
Later, Carnage, who survived, is preparing a death blow against Batman. Joker once again intervenes, threatening him with Joker toxin, allowing Batman to subdue Carnage and psychologically wear him down back into Kasady.
No one, you see, gets to kill 'his' Batman but the Joker.
It was a solid victory for Joker, who humiliated the upstart symbiote for daring to come onto his home turf.
