* 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.

** It's not even the reveal of Joker's face. The page leading up to it - the gradual horror of how a simple little nobody having a ''really'' bad day finally cracks - is full of dread. That first little "heh" he lets out, like the leak dripping out of a dam about to burst. He's finally getting the joke, and OH GOD everyone else is going to get the punchline...

* Several of the Joker's expressions are deeply unsettling. Not just his smile, but also his eyes - Brian Bolland's art really seems to portray just how insane the character is. The Joker's face as he goads Commissioner Gordon during the torture sequence will send shivers down your spine.

* In the special collectors' edition hard cover, there is a second story 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. 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 him going out to act out his plan.

** The look of sheer ''insanity'' as Joker prepares to shoot Batman is also chilling.
** Joker's face at the end of his song looks practically demonic.
* The after effects of the Joker gas on [[spoiler: the guy who sells the carnival to the Joker]] is one of the most frightening depictions of the gas ever.
