YMMV / Batman: The Animated Series E41 "Joker's Wild"

Go To

  • Fridge Brilliance: Summer's reaction to the casino wasn't just the average Gothamite's simple disgust for Joker's atrocities, but because she had an axe to grind with Joker for nearly murdering her and her mother back in Christmas with the Joker.
  • Fridge Logic: It's a wonder how Summer and the opening guests didn't throw up at the sight of the casino. Then again, their (barring Summer and Bruce) cheering could've simply been them trying to save face on live TV. Though it's highly unlikely any of them would actually play and hang out at the casino, but then again, Gotham's elite (sans Bruce) have never been the sharpest tools in the shed.
    • How did Kaiser get Irving inside Arkham to pose as a security guard? Between the construction of the casino, setting up his insurance fraud scheme, background checks on Irving's part, and making sure Joker is on the REC room schedule for the same day as opening night, it's kind of hard to believe.
    • It takes weeks to officially get a job.
    • Also, despite collecting information on Joker's character to fit his casino's fake them, it's doubtful Kaiser had the connections to get one of his men into Arkham to pose as a security guard. It's also highly unlikely that Irving had any affiliation with Arkham to begin with.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: This won't be the last time Bruce Wayne and The Joker get friendly with each other.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: This episode's got some pretty high-flown and adult stuff for a Saturday morning cartoon: A casino owner who is way underwater on his financing decides to commit Insurance Fraud by deliberately provoking one of the world's premier psychopaths and serial killers to commit mass murder in his establishment.note
