History ComicBook / JokersLastLaugh

* {{Clownification}}: Joker's rampage begins with him Jokerizing fellow supervillains, making them follow his every command

-> '''The Joker''': This one'll ''really'' kill you!

In the story, ComicBook/TheJoker is told he is dying of an inoperable brain tumor shortly after arriving at the villain prison known as The Slab. He quickly decides to go out with a bang and infects all the other inmates with an insanity virus that also puts them under his control and stages a mass breakout, tossing the prison into another dimension as he does. While the Batfamily and Justice League scramble to contain his malice, the survivors at The Slab work to return it to Earth and world governments panic in fear of the clown's wrath.

* DEathMontage: There is a montage of the Joker repeatedly murdering Multi-Man--who is reborn with a different superpower every time he dies--until he develops a power useful for the Joker's escape plan.

** The Joker sets his final showdown with the Bat-Family at [[Film/{{Batman}} Gotham Cathedral.]]

* BlessedWithSuck: Multi-Man, one of the Slab inmates whose power is to resurrect when killed and come back with a new power every time. The Joker and his group murder him over and over until they get what they want. [[spoiler: Shilo and Black Canary are forced to keep doing this to him to restore the Slab to the proper dimension, and in the end, he gets some more freedoms as thanks for this.]]

* EnemyMine: Mr. Mind helps Shilo and the guard return the slab to reality, since he wants to get back there too.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: A doctor decided that lying to the Joker and telling him he has cancer to give him a taste of his own medicine in was a good idea. Given that this is why the Joker decides to go on his rampage, saying this move was "ill-advised" is a ''huge understatement''.
