Joker's third verse was perfection. Everything from "Don't you lay a finger on my bat" to "a little more PG and a lot less thirteen" all the way to "We live in a society" was marvelous. One of my favorite overall verses ever.

[@mechaCrusader17]

I'm a massive, massive fan of basically every line Joker has in this. Bob Jane Bill Finger is a zinger, but one of my favorites is "when I compare your antics to the fiendish schemes I revel in, they pale like the moonlight you can dance with the devil in." A clear nod to Nicholson's Joker. That and "I'm a Shining man, wink". Of course I also love Pennywise's last verse, with the Cask of Amantillado, John Wayne of John Wayne Gaceys the underground clown posse, and best walleyed rapper since the Notorious B.I.G. All also staggeringly genius.
