* VillainousLegacy: Before his death, Jerome taunts Gordon by saying that he'll live on through the madness he's inflicted on Gotham. There's also the fact that his final gambit turns Jeremiah into the Joker, who will no doubt match or even eclipse his brother's evil.

*** Before the jack-in-the-box sprayed him, Jeremiah seemed like a very straight-laced guy. Being held hostage by your lunatic brother, only to come home and get sprayed with an evil transformation formula, could well be considered "one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy."
