With a grin that sends shivers down your spine, the crown prince of crime has some of the most twisted and suspenseful dialogues in the DC universe. Audiences are captivated by the Joker for this reason. The Joker is one of Gotham City's most notorious villains, and he gives Batman a run for his money. He takes advantage of Batman's flaws and pushes him to his limits. Even though Batman has pledged to never murder, the Joker makes him want to breach this vow on several occasions. Here are some of the best Joker quotes that are simply legendary!

 

1) “This town deserves a better class of criminal. And I’m gonna give it to them!”

Start at: 3:24

Regarding his effectiveness as a criminal in Gotham City, he seems to prioritize himself. He alone can disrupt the established order of things. This is the ideal example of a horrible individual.

 

2) “I believe whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you stranger.”

Start at: 1:33

The Joker (and Heath Leader, who played him, R.I.P.) realizes that just repeating a cliché is insufficient. But using it for peculiar purposes is another thing. This is a wonderful calling card for the Joker, who refuses to die and is nothing if not eccentric.

 

3) “Wait ‘til they get a load of me.”

Start at: 0:23

Regardless of your opinion of the performance, Jack Nicholson's Joker in the 1989 film Batman had a unique level of intensity. And the fact that you can envision Nicholson really saying this makes it much more funny.

 

4) “I took Gotham’s white knight and I brought him down to our level. It wasn’t hard. You see, madness, as you know, is like gravity—All it takes is a little push!”

Start at: 2:20

The Joker achieves his goals of murdering Rachel and transforming Dent into Two-Face. Dent's transformation into Two-Face was nothing short of brilliant, despite the fact that he may be a man of basic tastes.

 

5) ''Do I look like the kind of clown that can start a movement?”

Start at: 1:24

Before (or even during and after) his deadly escapades, the Joker is prone to being coy. Arthur Fleck may not have recognized it himself, but he initiated a movement.

 

6) “Why so serious?”

Start at: 1:11

It is impossible to discuss Joker quotations without mentioning the Heath Ledger Joker remark that spawned a million memes. It occurs in the midst of a lengthy speech on how he acquired his scar grin (also known as the Glasgow smile, and yes, it is a terrifyingly real phenomenon). And the whole situation merits a second look.

 

7) “The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules. And tonight, you’re going to break your one rule.”

Start at: 2:08

The Joker parodies and ridicules Batman. Batman and the Joker will continue to collide in the future. Even though their opinions seem to be polar opposites, they are surprisingly similar. Must be the most disorganized joker remark from The Dark Knight!

 

8) “I won’t kill you, because you’re just too much fun.”

Start at: 1:05

The Joker addresses this statement to Batman as his adversary. However, we recognize that Batman lends the Joker significance. He enjoys battling against Batman every time.

 

9) “I’m a guy of simple taste. I like things such as gunpowder, dynamite, and gasoline!”

Start at: 0:26

Mental disease cannot be concealed indefinitely behind a mask. The worst aspect is that the Joker attempts to build his own universe out of these suppressed emotions. He enjoys causing mayhem by using ways that anybody in Gotham might use to get support.

 

10) “Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos, I’m an agent of chaos, and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair.”

Start at: 0:46

He feels accountable for being the one who unleashes mayhem. Moreover, the Joker cannot help but assume that the current system holds individuals behind. Has to be one of the most memorable lines that induce complete anarchy.

 

11) “How about a magic trick? I’m gonna make this pencil disappear!”

Start at: 0:13

This Joker quip from The Dark Knight is distinctive and the most-discussed sentence that demonstrates the Joker's talents. He gained the attention of the mafia leaders for the first time.

In the interrogation room with Detective Stephens, the Joker discusses why he employs a knife and the insignificant feelings of others. The Joker requests Stephen's phone call and attempts to convince him of the actual nature of humanity. Lieutenant James Gordon arrives later to inquire about Harvey.

 

12) “I don’t wanna kill you, what would I do without you? Go back to rippin’ off mob dealers… no, no, you, complete me.”

Start at: 0:49

During the questioning scene, Batman asks the Joker why he is so obsessed with murdering him, but the Joker denies it and prefers Batman to be alive. One of the finest Joker comments from The Dark Knight sheds insight on Batman and the Joker's relationship.

 

13) "Do You Wanna Know Why I Use A Knife?"

Start at: 0:00

During his time in the interrogation room, the Joker explains in detail what he did to the officer’s friends who’s keeping an eye on him. He provokes him to attack and then overpowers him.

 

14) “Everything burns!”

Start at: 1:20

The primary objective of the Joker was to wreak chaos, ruin, and let the world burn. So, when money was introduced, he became annoyed and burned the cash.

 

15) “You can’t rely on anyone these days, you got to do everything yourself, don’t we? It's okay, I came prepared; it’s a funny world we live in. Speaking of which, do you know how I got these scars?"

Start at: 2:02

The worst aspect of the Joker in the DC Universe is that he lacks a character arc. He tells Rachel Dawes a different narrative from the one previously talked about how he obtained the scars with his father's kitchen knife when he was a little lad. Instead, he adds that his wife is a gambler.

 

16) “Not clown—Joker.”

Mark Hamill achieved the delicate balance between delightfully humorous and scary while playing Joker on the Batman animated series for all those years. It may be time for another viewing.

 

17) “You didn’t think I’d risk losing the battle for Gotham’s soul in a fist fight with you? No. You need an ace in the hole. Mine’s Harvey.”

Start at: 3:53

In lieu of an actual combat, The Joker intends to win the war with a more strategic approach, such as a trump card. Given how often the Joker is beaten, it would not be a good look for him.

In the plethora of films in which the Joker appears, there are innumerable iconic lines imbued with such lovely melancholy. The mountebank tycoon may be one of the greatest villains in cinematic history. We hope you liked this compilation of The Dark Knight's finest Joker quips.

 

18) “In their last moments, people show you who they really are.”

Start at: 0:18

We are aware that the Joker is a murderer who does not hesitate to kill others. Additionally, he feels that every guy is out for himself. Moreover, he is incapable of creating harmony with others. Even more so with Wayne Enterprises' Coleman Reese.

 

19) “This suit wasn’t cheap. You outta know, you bought it.”

Start at: 2:08

Unfortunately, Heath Ledger went prematurely before he could reprise the part in The Dark Knight, which is without doubt the finest live-action, on-screen representation of the Joker ever attempted.

In this scenario, Joker interrupts a "mob meeting" to offer his services. In order to demonstrate dominance in a room full of alphas, he eliminates one of their bodyguards instantly.

 

20) “Oh Salvator, why so formal? Mi Casa nostra es su Casa nostra”

Mask of the Phantasm, the profoundly dark Batman film from 1993, is an unappreciated gem. Batman is falsely accused of a series of murders committed by a similarly-dressed vigilante in the film.

Using a sword resembling a scythe and a grim reaper appearance, this new assassin is slowly but surely eliminating Gotham's top gang bosses.

When the last of the old-time crime leaders must chase down the Joker at an abandoned World's Fair, the Joker (played by the incomparable Mark Hamill once again) is ecstatic to meet an old acquaintance. He is filled with manic excitement and has an abundance of mafia-inspired jokes that many children could not understand.

 

21) “Let her go” “Very poor choice of words…”

Start at: 3:30

The first encounter between Heath Ledger's Joker and Batman is an incredible but much too brief battle. Obviously, the Joker is aware that he cannot defeat Batman in a fair battle, so he uses underhanded tactics, like placing a dagger in his shoe, to get the upper hand.

Batman eliminates all of Joker's goons and is left alone with him, but before Batman can get the upper hand, Joker holds Rachel, Batman's childhood friend and Harvey Dent's serious lover, at gunpoint.

He breaks the glass and suspends her from it, prompting Batman to demand that he "let her go."

As the Joker says… “Very poor choice of words…”

 

22) “You know, its funny. This reminds me of a joke…”

Start at: 1:15

Alan Moore's The Killing Joke is possibly one of the finest comics starring the Joker ever created. The 2016 animated feature of the same name was based on the comic book.

After a dramatic, cathartic scene in which Batman and the Joker come to terms with the truth that they are of the same stock, Batman gives the Joker a chance to try and regain his health.

The Joker feels compelled to reject him and say that he is too far gone to be rescued. Nonetheless, the whole situation reminds him of a comedy.

 

23) “You look good. Been working out? You could probably use a little sun. Then again, who am I to talk?”

Batman and Robin visit the Joker in Arkham Asylum to learn what he knows about the mysterious new criminal "under the red hood." Joker cannot resist taunting Batman upon meeting him for the first time in a long time.

Given that he's been trapped in a padded cell for years and constantly wears light white makeup, he can't help but make the joke self-deprecating.

 

24) “I go Looney”

Start at: 0:00

Since Mark Hamill said that The Killing Joke would be the final time, he portrayed the Joker owing to the effect the voice had on his vocal cords, the whole film is a true masterpiece.

Not only is it based on the finest Joker comic ever written, but it is also a reasonably accurate adaptation - not as grim as the original, but in some ways darker.

In a manner that is both dark and light, the Joker receives a musical performance that I like.

 

25) “This town needs an enema.”

Start at: 0:21

The absurdity of this sentence, the connection to an enema, and Nicholson's delivery speak for itself.

 

Conclusion

Due to his classic one-liners and morbidly hysterical quips, the Joker is one of the most recognizable supervillains in film and comic book history. This indicates that the Joker has some of the funniest and most twisted lines ever written or spoken. The following are the funniest Joker quotes and sayings, culled from his most popular comic book and film appearances, I hope you found this guide fun to read.
