History YMMV / JokersLastLaugh

* HarsherInHindsight: In this story, the doctor tells the Joker that he has been diagnosed with cancer and that he would try and repent in the last weeks of his life. It turns out that [[spoiler:[[MistakenForDying the doctor had been pulling his leg all along]] and that the Clown Prince of Crime is going to live after all]]. Ten years later, there's ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', [[spoiler:whose prequel comic tells us that the Joker has been diagnosed with the Titan disease that [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum he had inflicted upon himself six months ago]] and is told that he has only another six months to live. Six months later, and this time, he dies from Titan poisoning right at the end of the game itself.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: The Joker makes a comment that soon his tumor will claim him and he'll be deader than ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. Y'know, the franchise that is still, to this day, 20 years and change and counting, an absolute ''juggernaut.''

* FranchiseOriginalSin: This is one of the first times that the Joker has "gone all out" and caused CrisisCrossover levels of mayhem, single-handedly putting everybody in the superhero community against the wall (and trying to do a supremely elaborate and cruel attempt at a SuicideByCop). This one, however, at least has the benefit of the fact that Joker (and everybody else, probably audience included) believes he ''is'' doing TheLastDance. By the time the Batman arcs ''Death of the Family'', ''Endgame'' and ''Joker War'' along, however, audiences were starting to grind their teeth because "Joker decides to up his game, makes everybody in the DC Universe tremble, even the PhysicalGod-types" was not only pile-driven into the ground, but the newest arcs had him as a full-blown InvincibleVillain that even (sort-of) won in the end (and one of the biggest complaints about ''Endgame'' was that [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks it was a near-perfect rehash]] of ''Death of the Family''[='=]s story beats). Heck, technically this was even the inspiration to create the backstory of ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs''.

* WhatAnIdiot: The doctor who decided to lie and tell the Joker he has cancer really should've thought what he was about to do more before he pulled that stunt.

* MoralEventHorizon: Expected for the Joker, but he uses it intentionally by getting the Jokerized residents of Arkham to all gang up on Robin with intent to kill just to get the Bats' attention.
