"Take my blood for example, I wish somebody would this stuff is killing me!" One of the best lines I've heard from the Joker

[@MultiCardsfan1]

Dr Pepper Agreed that was classic Joker 😂

I concur; I revisited this scene specifically for that line.

Favorite Mark Hamill Joker moment of all time. This quote still sends chills down my spine every time I see it. "Nice of you to say, but you of all people should know, there's plenty wrong with me."

[@FireatWillz]

and then "take my blood for example, I wish somebody would, this stuffs killing me." makes me laugh every time. he goes from killer to clown in a heart beat

[@joshuaashby4720]

Now, I love Hamill’s voice work for the Joker in the Batman animated series, but I think his voice work for the same character in the Arkham games is even better. It feels more sinister and evil, while at the same time keeping that sense of humor that makes the Joker such a appealing villain in spite of his heinous acts.

[@swordsman1137]

In video game, the writer can make Joker more sinister and evil than in saturday cartoon.

I love the fact that Arkham Knight carried on that plot thread of Joker's blood being transferred to every hospital in Gotham. It really help add to the effects of this game's events and with how Batman is struggling to cope with the Joker's influence on Gotham, following his death.

[@smillingdooku8116]

well it wasnt necesarry

[@rhettgedies7467]

What I hate though is that the antidote in _City_ was apparently worthless. Batman is still struggling with the poison in his system during the event of _Knight_ ! What IS cool though is how he literally conquers it in the end of the game with freakin' willpower. That's Batman being Batman.
