Bruce Wayne as Batman was more ruthless but refrained from killing, although he implied [see below] that his restraints would disappear if infected long enough. Batman also understood Joker better than anyone resulting in a near-perfect copy. However, the Joker he hallucinated was too consistent and driven, constantly striving to eliminate Batman.

Upon discovering what it was, they started to use it and turned the cellar into a personal training ground. Because they used the drug in small controlled doses, T&T were able to retain control of themselves, and after they slaughtered Two-Face's Gang and nearly put the man himself into a full body cast, they started to make plans to take over the city. The first time Batman became truly aware of his infection was in Batman: Arkham VR, since it turned out all the events that took place were part of a nightmare in which he was unknowingly responsible for the deaths of Nightwing and Robin along with blowing up the Iceberg Lounge while imitating Joker.

I'm the guy with the money and the gun! So when I hire you to kill the Batman, you SHUT THE HELL UP AND KILL THE BATMAN! It was shown that despite having cured himself in Arkham City, Batman was still infected by the events of Arkham Knight — considering that Batman only took half the cure and intended to give Joker the other half it could be assumed that was not enough to completely cure him in the long run and was only intended to save him and Joker from immediate death to allow curing later. The hallucination of Joker revealed he had pumped four pints of his blood into Batman which could explain why the cure was ineffective. When a normal henchman was injected with the TITAN Formula, the henchman mutated, and became insane. However, when the Joker injected himself with TITAN, even though he had mutated, he kept his personality. That could very well be because the Joker was already insane.

The idea that the Joker reappeared in Batman: Arkham Knight as an hallucination is probably extracted from the canceled movie Batman Triumphant. He had no concern over anyone's life except his own. If one of his own men were left behind or died, it was a mild inconvenience in Joker's eyes. He would even kill them himself, including the loyalist thugs if he was disappointed by them and sometimes just for the sadistic entertainment in simply killing them. Even Harley Quinn, his most loyal minion and girlfriend who utterly idolized the maniac was left totally oblivious to his cruel treatment and utter abuse towards her. However, Harley is still useful to Joker's cause and as long as she kept this way he would keep her by his side there was a rare time when Joker did care for her or at the very least had a soft spot for her (such as the fact she was the only person he didn't try to shoot under the effects of Scarecrow's gas, his jealousy of her when she started dating Deadshot) and he never outright tried to kill her. When Bane took the drug (since Batman had removed his activator switch for Venom), he grew into the giant he would be in future games. The drug also removed Bane's memory of Batman's true identity; the immediate sequel, shows that the physical transformation is temporary, but future games show that the user of TN-1 will regain their transformed state if they use a similar substance. Batman eventually woke up and was taunted by Joker about killing Talia and poisoning Gotham, and Batman voiced his contemplation whether he should give Joker the cure or let him die to which Joker suddenly attempted to take the cure by force with a knife only for Batman to accidentally drop it to the ground, rendering it destroyed. After Batman revealed that he was going to give the cure to the Joker even after all his horrible acts, Joker started laughing at the irony before succumbing to his disease and died as his arch-nemesis watched.Your best strategy here is to try to keep some distance between you and the Titans while you beat on the Thugs – the idea being you want to thin out their numbers to make your life a little easier. You do not actually have to kill them to do this – if you combo them enough you can stun them – you will know they are stunned because they go down with gold stars circling their heads. At that point they are out of action for as much as 30 seconds.

Hugo, you merry maniac. You were obsessed with me. You all were. Trying to get in here. Next thing, you'll tell me it wasn't you who sent old Sharpie over the edge. Nice work by the way. Though cured of the fatal condition the TITAN-infected blood had caused, Batman could sense that something was still up the now-deceased Joker's sleeve. He soon found four transfusion bags of Joker's blood were unaccounted for, which resulted in four people being infected with it. Christina Bell, Johnny Charisma, Albert King, and Henry Adams were detained by Batman and studied. As a result of the infected blood gestating in Bell, King, and Charisma for too long, they were beginning to look and act like Joker, although with only a specific aspect of the late Clown Prince of Crime's personality; Bell had Joker's obsession with Batman, Charisma had Joker's egomania and flamboyancy, and King had Joker's sadism. Only Henry seemed immune to this. Remembering that Joker's blood was still in his own veins, Batman kept a fifth cell for himself ready, just in case he ever succumbed to the influence of the deranged clown's blood. I once went to a psychiatrist 'Doc', I said, 'Every time I get into bed, I think there's someone under it, I get under the bed, I think there's somebody on top of it'! I was going crazy. So I cured myself. I cut the legs off my bed. And then the doctor. Slept fine ever since. During our testing, our chair didn't get moved around a lot, but the casters do move freely, even over a carpet – a surface that some bearings don't react too well to. The third and final Titan henchman is encountered in the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC. Robin encounters the henchman outside of Joker's shrine where Batman is being held.Joker: Think of it as running gag...(stabs Batman with a knife which causes the cure to drop to the ground and shatter) NOOOO!!!! Are you HAPPY now!?? Titans season 3 marked the return of The Joker to DC television, albeit only glimpsed from a distance or abstractly — here's the reason why he wasn't allowed to make a proper appearance. In the lead-up to its release via HBO Max, story details that could have been big twists or comics-inspired surprises in Titans season 3 were made public. For starters, it was confirmed that Jay Lycurgo would play Tim Drake (a.k.a. the third incarnation of Robin) in his live-action debut and Vincent Kartheiser would embody Jonathan Crane (a.k.a. Scarecrow). Finally, fans rejoiced with the advanced news that Curran Walters' Jason Todd would officially become Red Hood. Hello! Anyone in there? No sense of humour. Oh, the strong and silent type, eh? Think you're safe behind that mask? Give me 20 minutes and a can opener and I'll have you whimpering like a schoolgirl. You might like it.

In his final moments, Joker gloated over Batman, showing arrogance, overconfidence, and remorseless to his very core. He boasts that in the end, he would always save him, ignoring that the Joker ended up destroying his own cure. Despite dying, he was able to find humor in his own death and ultimately got the last laugh on Batman. Mystery Incorporated • Myron • Superman • Captain Cold • The Gordanians • Madame Rouge • Phobia • General Immortus • Bat-Cow • Colossal Boy • Fun Gus The cure was in turn stolen from Harley by Talia al Ghul, which prompted Joker to kill her for it, and the cure then wound up in the hands of Clayface. When Batman defeated Clayface and took the cure, he managed to cure himself just before Joker, who believed that Batman would never give him the cure, stabbed him in the arm in an attempt to get at it. This prompted Batman to drop the vial, where it smashed on the floor. Well, what do you know? You did it. You took 'em all out. I should be sad, I suppose, but the truth is, I'm happy. Happier than I've been in years. How about you? It was speculated that the very first time Batman showed symptoms of the Joker Infection was right after defeating Mr. Freeze in Arkham City as he hallucinated Joker's face in place of Freeze's while subduing him. This was actually confirmed by Sefton Hill in a Reddit AMA.In Batman: Arkham City, depending on what point in the game the player chose to meet Bane, Batman would either find out about the compound's existence within the city from Bane or he already knew about the compound from a run-in with the Penguin at the Museum. Joker was the only playable character in the series who took fall damage if he fell from too great a height. The purpose of the entire incident was later revealed to act as a trigger to give Mayor Quincy Sharp the excuse that he needed to create Arkham City.
