20 WTF Moments From Tim Burton's Batman

6. "Never Rub Another Man's Rhubarb"

Bruce visits Vicki with the full intent of telling her his secret identity, but before he can, The Joker and his cronies interrupt. After a confrontation in which Bruce unleashes his animalistic side, The Joker utters the iconic line, "You ever dance with the Devil in the pale moonlight?" and then shoots Bruce, seemingly killing him. He walks over to Bruce's "corpse" (of course, Bruce stuffed a metal tray up his shirt to deflect the bullet) and says, "Never rub another man's rhubarb." A hysterical line no doubt, and a relatively imaginative way for The Joker to say, "Don't touch my woman", even if it's also got an obviously homoerotic double entendre too. Unlike the other sexual jokes in the film, this one's not too crude and outrageous enough that parents can just tell their kids it's The Joker being his usual, crazy self.
