* In the special collectors' edition hard cover, there is a second story (originally from ''ComicBook/BatmanBlackAndWhite'') about a man who's talking to a camera about how he plans to kill Batman. The mood of it is just chilling: he talks about Batman, he talks about how he's a normal ordinary guy as casually as how he intends to just walk up behind Batman after he's stopped a bad guy and just out and out shoot Batman. It even lacks a proper ending; just stopping after the guy states his belief that [[TooDumbToLive he'll "live a good and blameless life, and go to heaven when [he dies]."]] However, the fact that he ''genuinely believes this'' adds on to the unnerving nature of this story, as the man well and truly ''does not have any remorse for what he desires''.[[note]]Luckily, any actual worries can be dispelled completely since it's a one-shot (hah!) story, but still, it never shows him getting stopped or anything it just ends with the implication that he's about to go out and act out his plan.[[/note]]

** The opening page of the deluxe anniversary edition of the graphic novel is completely black except for the title of the novel and the Joker's widened, bleeding eyes, lifted directly from the aforementioned frame. It speaks a lot to the lasting effect of that image that only his eyes are needed to convey the horror of his character.

* What happens to Barbara. It went so far Barbara -- gunned down in front of her father with a shot that paralyzes her from the waist down, and then stripped naked and photographed by the Joker to use in his attempted MindRape of her father. It's one of the most criticized aspects of the story because of just how ''cruel'' it is, and [[CreatorBacklash even Alan Moore [[NeverLiveItDown felt bad about it]].

* In this story the Joker's henchmen are a trio of midgets who look like deformed cherubs (two of them even have prop wings), apparently under the effect of the Joker serum, what with their grins and dilated pupils. They are also clad in either S&M gear or a ballerina costume, and only speak in monosyllabic grunts. The part where they strip Gordon naked and put him on a leash is disturbing to say the least.
