Funniest Moments in Batman

[The Joker]

The entire Joker infomercial.

The entire thing is hilarious, and incredibly morbid. Which just adds to the overall effect of the Joker's humor.

Never seen a dead guy in a commercial? Done. Remember those deceased supermodels you just heard about? Yeah, we got them posthumously hocking these lethal products. Capped off with a not-so-subtle allusion that you, yes YOU, may be pushing up daisies next!

Definitely one of the best cinematic representations of the Joker. No question.


I also get a chuckle when Bob the Goon running away from Batman following the other goons getting destroyed. Good thinking! 

[Silver Nemesis]

The thing I find funniest about the infomercial scene is how even before the Joker hijacks the airwaves the regular news programme is already broadcasting graphic images of the two models' grinning corpses. Did their photographers sneak into the morgue to take these pictures? Did the police release them for the media to use? Or did the news programme fabricate them to create an artist's impression of what the cadavers looked like?

Imagine if a celebrity was murdered in real life and a news programme included an image of their mutilated corpse along with the initial report of their death, without any kind of warning beforehand. It just goes to show how desensitised the people of Gotham are to this sort of thing.

There was a scene in the script where Vicki Vale is at a photo session where both models are working with another photographer who keeps telling them to smile bigger and bigger until they have their laughing fit and fall over dead. It could be assumed that these pictures could have came from that session. I'm glad they never filmed that scene as it was more impactful to see the same thing done to the anchor, starting with her very inappropriate laughter at the report of three new deaths.

I've seen this film multiple times in the theatre and that image of the corpses on the news always gets a big laugh. I think they're laughing more at the visual rather than the fact the news is broadcasting they're corpses, but I do agree that it's weird.

[The Dark Knight]

I'm not going for one moment, I'm going for one man. Knox. I couldn't imagine B89 without him. His voice, appearance and general personality somehow match and even elevate the atmosphere of the film. Yes, he's funny, but he's dedicated to the job at hand and towards the end he's even sympathetic. When he's fighting back against the goons with the baseball bat you root for the guy, and when he's thrown off the car (and vulnerable to the gas) you want him to be safe. He cares for Vicki and has this emotional believability to him. Really underrated performance.

C'mon, how could you leave out "I'm glad you're dead!"

[BatmanFurst]

C'mon, how could you leave out "I'm glad you're dead!"

Unfortunately that one already took the number one spot in the most disturbing moments thread.

One little exchange that I've found funny in recent years is:

Bob: She's dating some guy named Wayne.
Joker: She's about to trade up.

I always liked just before that when Joker said, "Who is that loss?"   

[The Laughing Fish]

A little moment I've always enjoyed was Bruce becoming so distracted by Vicki Vale when they first met each other at the Wayne Manor party, that Alfred has to clean up his mess wherever he goes. Bruce gets confused where to put the pen so he just stabs it onto the plant, and Alfred picks it up and puts it on the trey. Bruce takes on last sip of that glass of champagne and carelessly puts it on the edge of the table, and Alfred quickly stops it from falling and gently puts it back on the trey, and pompously walks away holding the try with his eyes closed.

Again, it's a little moment, but a charming and amusing one.

I really enjoyed moments like that too. Whenever I watch Burton's Batman I still find Keaton's take on Bruce Wayne highly enjoyable and memorable.
