trinityvixenAnother classic Batman: the Animated Series episode: "The Laughing Fish."
The second I say the title, I bet my entire friendslist knows the episode I mean. Good, I don't have to explain. It's one of my favorites, again, so to date, the second volume of this show is the superior set. And given that I'm still on disc 1, I'd say that's pretty damn amazing. I think this one even has "Almost Got Him," which is probably my favorite episode. But, I say that, and I'll probably retract it tomorrow when I come across another episode that's my favorite.
Anyway, "The Laughing Fish"? Classic. A little more silly-Joker than psychotic Joker...or so it seems. I still don't buy him looking to go semi-legit with the fish thing, but his threatening people who won't patent his product? Pure Joker. Plus, there's the fabulous exchange with him and Harley Quinn where she says "You know you're really sick, don'tcha boss?" And he smiles, nods, and goes "Mmm-hmm!" so smugly, I need to cuddle Mark Hamill right now.
Then there's the ending.
Batman bitch-slap backhands the Joker. If ever there were a better way to put the Joker in his place, it has not yet been discovered by man. I mean that. To the ends of the Earth, I mean that. Yes, two mortal enemies locked in a never-ending struggle to maintain their sanity around one another, blah blah. Day-am, Batman jus' had tah slap a ho.
