10 Best Joker Movie Moments
8. Dance With The Devil (Batman 1989)
Jack Nicholson's Joker is the perfect blend of Cesar Romero's humour and Heath Ledger's anarchy. He knew how to have a laugh, but he also wasn't afraid to pull the trigger - on absolutely anybody. And in his crosshairs next? A certain playboy billionaire by the name of Bruce Wayne.
The Joker has Bruce cornered at gunpoint, but before he pulls the trigger, he asks the curious question "You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?" And it's Bruce's bewildered look before being slugged in the chest that truly makes this scene Joker gold.
The Clown Prince himself even reveals he doesn't know what the question means, stating "I always ask that of all my prey... I just like the sound of it." This scene is quintessential Joker - the mindgames, the violence - and there's only one villain that could make Batman his "prey."
