YMMV / The New Batman Adventures E7 "Joker's Millions"

• Catharsis Factor: Harley giving Joker a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown is very satisfying to see after all he's done to her. Even more with the power of hindsight, after seeing Joker leap past the Moral Event Horizon with rocket boosters in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The interactions of Joker and Penguin inside The Iceberg Lounge become this in one of the "Arkham Stories" during Batman: Arkham City.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The "just" $10 million in real money the Joker received are twice the value of the inheritance he thought he received from Barlowe in the comics.
• Magnificent Bastard: "King" Edward Barlowe was a ruthless Gotham kingpin in his heyday who unexpectedly leaves an inheritance of $250 million dollars to his hated rival the Joker after he passes away, even passing over his bodyguard of ten years to do so. The Joker promptly goes on a spending spree, buying his way out of justice and spending millions until the IRS comes knocking at his door—all of which Barlowe anticipated ahead of time, leaving the Joker just $10 million in real money with the rest of the inheritance being completely fake. Plunging the Joker into debt with his Thanatos Gambit, King Barlowe is one of the perishingly few people to have ever gotten the last laugh on the Clown Prince of Crime.
• Memetic Badass: Thanks to Joker being more intimidated by them than Batman himself, the IRS will forever be known as the one thing the Joker fears (well, alongside fellow Memetic Badass Charlie Collins).
• Narm: The off-screen moment where Batman intimidates a Joker impersonator from giving him the location of the real Joker by giving him a swirlie. It comes across less of Batman as brutal and hilariously more as him being a school bully.
