The Many Joker DLC Movie References & Memories of Past NRS Games - MK 11

Here are all the movie references & fond memories of past Netherrealm games that I’ve come across with the most recent Mortal Kombat 11 character to arrive - The Clown Prince of Crime, the JOKER himself.
As expected there will clips with Joaquin Phoenix ( Joker 2019 ), Heath Ledger ( Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight ) & Jack Nicholson ( Tim Burton’s Batman ) embodying the role of the Joker. There will also be some strange movies lines that pop up from The Batman Animated Series along with an iconic line from Robocop himself. Enjoy.

[@TheDendran]

Remember: The scene where Heath is supposed to use his remote to blow things up went botched. It was his sudden recoiling expression that made the director leave that failed attempt in. It just fit Joker more than a clean take
