10 Cool Scenes Cut From Tim Burton's Batman Movies
2. "My Face On The One Dollar Bill" - Batman
The Joker is obviously somebody who likes to play a practical gag or two, something he takes to real extremes when he lures in a massive crowd on the promise of free money, and then proceeds to gas them. There’s kind of mean but at least the survivors will be rich, right?
What the scene doesn’t show is the money he’s throwing out is fake, and he was being quite serious when he told Vicki Vale he wanted his face on the one dollar bill. So when people are choking to death they discover his mocking face is printed on the money, making their last moments even more miserable.
It’s strange the movie would provide the setup for a gag without providing the punchline, and it would have been another fun example of the Joker’s twisted sense of humour.
