10 Insanely Dark Joker Moments That'll Never Make It To Film

10. Killing Innocents With Shards Of Poisonous Glass €“ Lovers & Madmen

Whereas so many of The Joker€™s most vicious acts have a personal edge to them, Lovers & Madmen saw him unleash his wrath on the innocent bystanders of Gotham City. Sure, the whole Lovers & Madmen arc went against established Joker tales like The Killing Joke and The Man Who Laughs, but it was still an interesting story nonetheless. A key to the €œenjoyment€ of the tale, if that is indeed the right word, is the moment where the Clown Prince releases a blimp on course for Gotham€™s Twin Towers. The GCPD do their best to track it but it explodes high above Gotham. But it€™s not the explosion that€™s the big thing here, it€™s the fact that the explosion causes poisonous shards of glass to rain down on Gotham City. As a result, the sidewalk is soon dotted with sliced-apart, grinning infected innocents - making for a macabre sight that would almost always feel out of place on the big screen.
