He was also planning to poison most of his Gotham in his initial appearance before Batman stopped him and the crush became a thing. On the other hand, he also famously retired in SKR when Bruce did, so who knows. A Joker thread without a defined objective for him is rather pointless.
And this comment isn't aimed at you Nik... But I'm baffled by the lack of critical thinking people have about the Joker. There's like this weird mental blind spot for him. He routinely matches wits with some the smartest people in the DCU, and he's generally only held back by his crush on Batman and whatever he thinks is amusing. Yes, there's plot armor that no one finishes him off when he gets caught, but that's literally every reoccurring comic book villain.. And then nobody seems to actually think about what it took to catch him.
Dude obtains nuclear bombs, kidnaps the president, creates WMD grade weapons out of household cleaning supplies, and creates toxins that work on a disable portion of the meta human population. Hell, he Jokerized Superman and the Justice League at least once in the last decade. And frankly Batman is just as reliant on plot armor to not get killed by the Joker.
And yet people think Fool Killer is gonna have no problem tracking him down and capping him. Really folks? I think people are just so sick of how hyped up the guy is that they stop actually thinking in feats anymore out of distaste.
