** It's even worse when you consider that Batman's laughter is more likely CryLaughing than anything else. While it does sound crazy, it also sounds desperate, like he has to cling to something while coming to terms with what he's about to do.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* ''The ending.'' NothingIsScarier, UpToEleven. After Joker tells one last joke and possibly screws up the punchline, he starts laughing like he usually does. The weird thing, though? ''Batman starts laughing too.'' Real, honest-to-goodness confirmation that the Batman is just as crazy as Joker! And the film ends with Batman putting his hands on Joker's shoulders, in what can almost be their screwed-up version of a hug, with the camera panning down to the wet ground as their cackles fade out...then the credits start. The scene is so screwed up, even LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn is inverted during them, with just dead silence aside from the drops of rain, at least until TheStinger.

* It's a blink and you'll miss it moment, but when Batman is clinging to a ledge over a spiked pit, one of Joker's little goons, dressed as Batman, walks up to kick him in. Batman grabs their leg, and, instead of throwing them away from him as he gets up, ''tosses them in.'' Batman just ''explicitly killed someone.''

** The joke, itself. It is a near-perfect description of Batman and Joker's sick friendship - ''and both of them know it.''

* The AxCrazy carnies Joker rounds up. As stereotypical as they are (a two-headed woman, a person covered completely in fur, a sexually ambiguous fat giant, et cetera), they're still menacing. The midgets, too. Like the Joker, they went from happily dancing with the Joker (With the fur covered man doing ThatRussianSquatDance during the "I Go Loony" musical number) to homicidally deranged (The same fur covered man tackling Batman while snarling like a wolf).
* Two-Face's cameo. His coin has fallen outside of the cell, so all we see is his arm desperately trying to reach it. He's been trying so long that there are claw marks in the METAL door.
