In your opinion, what was the Joker's most evil or destuctive act in the animated universe?

I personally think his most evil was in Return of the Joker, but he probably killed the most people from his Lexwing assault in Metropolis in "World's Finest."

His assault on Metropolis was a last minute type of thing, with no real thought behind it.

However his assault on poor Tim was not only horrible, I'd guess he had been planning that for quite some time and as such it crosses the line beyond sadistic.

While not as horrid an act, his long distance torment of his privet project Charlie Collins went on for years. True he didn't do anything to Charlie except keep an eye on him, but Charlie spent all that time looking over his shoulder and fearing for his family. Then when the Joker finally called in his "favor" Charlie had every right to believe he wouldn't get out of it alive. And while he did get away from the Joker, Joker still got years of laughs just by watching Charlie waste his life not knowing when the Joker was finally going to come for him.

The way I see it, sure the Joker can kill a bunch of people fairly easily, but that doesn't take much effort. Going after a single target requires a personal touch, and in the Jokers mind probably makes for a better punch line.

Dont forget that satellite beam tore up many buildings and roads, it even went through a crowd of people, he might have killed even more than his plane assualt.

No you are wrong! That moment is like when he created the Creeper. Why? Why? Damn you Joker! :lol

This is slightly off of subject, but did anyone else find what the Joker put Batman through in Return of the Joker flashbacks similar to what he did to Gordon in the Killing JOke.

I don't know (haven't seen it) but I always figured that poor Tim Drake suffered figuratively for both Jason Todd and Barbara Gordon.

As far as the animated world, I'd say that Mr. J's worst act was the whole Tim thing. When I first saw it, my jaw just dropped, I couldn't believe it! it was evil at it's freakiest and best. For BB at least.
