Begin
Speaker A
In my first appearance, the bat was supposed to slay me, but I can't be killed, that's why they cast a Phoenix to play me.
Speaker A
He He I'm the Harlequin of Hate, the Clown Prince of Crime.
Speaker A
You're a sewer troll that Stephen King wrote between his lines.
Speaker B
Ha ha!
Speaker A
It's like cocaine, you know how I said, I don't know how any kind of joke could ever go over that head.
Speaker A
They all float says the quote, but your films they all sink.
Speaker A
Oh, and as far as Mr. King goes, I'm a Shining man, wink!
Speaker A
I make the Justice League look like just a bunch of super slugs.
Speaker A
You lost to a herd of nerds who call themselves the Loser's Club.
Speaker A
You'll be gobbled up in Gotham, so stick to your small town where you're renowned as the if it's brown flush it down clown.
Speaker B
Hiya Jokey, you wanna rap?
Speaker A
Ha ha!
Speaker B
Oh, why so serious? You're supposed to be the man who laughs.
Speaker B
But those jokes were like your new movie, mostly really sad.
Speaker B
Beep beep, you're a John Doe in my deadlights, and you're about to fall from a new height.
Speaker B
Cause you're weak and you've lost every fight to a knight who wears underwear over his tights.
Speaker B
Ha ha!
Speaker B
I haunt nightmares and I'm ruthless, this battle's like poker, the Joker is useless, winning's not in your cards, call me Arkham Asylum, I'm crazy with bars.
Speaker B
Jack Nicholson played you just fine, but lately the casting's declined, Jared Leto came out trying to look like he was Tekashi 6ix9ine.
Speaker B
So unless you've got a yummy younger brother, I think you'd better run, cause I've got 99 red balloons, bitch, and I dare you to take one.
Speaker A
Go back in your well, you giggling sewer ginger.
Speaker A
You lost to a turtle that wasn't even a ninja.
Speaker A
When I flow, I go Mark Ham with ill zingers.
Speaker A
I steal the show like Bob Kane stole from Bill Finger.
Speaker A
I spit acid, be wowed, every joke of mine stings.
Speaker A
You're three nightlights in a cloud beat by the kid from Stranger Things.
Speaker A
When I compare your antics to the fiendish schemes I revel in, they pale like the moonlight.
Speaker A
You can dance with the devil in.
Speaker B
Pennywise likes the devil, we have so much fun together.
Speaker B
But no one's dying to play with Joker, except for maybe Heath Ledger.
Speaker B
Puddin' you're an embarrassment.
Speaker B
I'll beat you like you beat Harley Quinn, that purple suit is something you should only see Steve Harvey in.
Speaker B
Ah haha!
Speaker B
I feast on your fears! I'm the Derry, Maine attraction, every 27 years.
Speaker B
But you know what? I have a secret, it's like a very special toy, if you wanna kill a Batman, eat him when he's a boy.
Speaker A
Don't you lay a finger on my bat, you little freak, or I will spend a whole week knocking out those prickle teeth.
Speaker A
Tell your author for his next gangbang scene, how about a little more PG and a lot less 13.
Speaker A
Even I wouldn't stoop to that kind of impropriety.
Speaker A
This is Earth, you space demon, we live in a society.
Speaker A
Ha ha!
Speaker A
I've seen your movies, so I know you don't hurry, but I'll shoo you down the drain so fast they'll call you Tim Scurry.
Speaker A
Ask Robin if I drop bars, I take smiles and I leave scars, guards at Arkham will admit that the Joker just killed IT.
Speaker B
Arkham? Ha!
Speaker B
You stole that from H.P. Lovecraft, who needs guards when you couldn't even escape Cesar Romero's mustache, you jester.
Speaker B
I'm Montresor, about to make you my Fortunado and seal this battle up like it was the Cask of Amontillado.
Speaker B
I spit January ember flames, you got beat by the Scooby gang.
Speaker B
I'm the John Wayne of Wayne Gacy's, the underground clown posse, my flow's insane.
Speaker B
Post your boy for missing person posters, Joker's gonna float with me, cause he just messed with the best walleyed rapper since the Notorious B.I.G.
Speaker B
Ha ha!
Speaker C
Who won?
Speaker C
Who's next?
Speaker C
