History YMMV / TheNewBatmanAdventuresE7JokersMillions

* {{Narm}}: The off-screen moment where Batman intimidates a Joker impersonator from giving him the location of the real Joker by giving him a swirlie. It comes across less of Batman as brutal and hilariously more as him being a school bully.

* FridgeBrilliance:
** Why would the Joker take being arrested for tax evasion so seriously when he's done stuff that's easily way worse? Unlike his usual crimes, tax evasion isn't a crime the insanity plea can work on. [[note]] Though, realistically, absolutely ''none'' of Joker's crimes are eligible for an insanity plea.[[/note]] If the Joker were to get charged with tax evasion, he'd probably be sent to a federal prison instead of [[CardboardPrison his usual jailhouse of Arkham Asylum]]--since Arkham is technically a mental hospital and not a (traditional) prison, while a federal prison would likely be much more serious/secure about keeping their inmates inside.
** Another thing, even if Joker told the truth, he probably would still owe the IRS some inheritance tax. Not as much as before, but considering he'd already blown the 10 million he legitimately had, he's still screwed.
** While the Joker going to prison for tax evasion seems absurd, it's not without precedent -- Al Capone, one of the most famous and powerful gangsters in pop culture, was eventually arrested on tax evasion, and not the numerous other crimes he was surely guilty of. The Joker knows that if someone like Capone could be brought down by something seemingly so petty, he could be as well, even if the Joker is insane.

* MemeticBadass: Thanks to Joker being more intimidated by them than Batman himself, [[IntimidatingRevenueService the IRS]].

* CatharsisFactor: Harley giving Joker a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown is very satisfying to see after all he's done to her.

* MagnificentBastard: [[PosthumousCharacter "King" Edward Barlowe]] was a [[TheDon ruthless Gotham kingpin]] in his heyday who unexpectedly leaves an inheritance of $250 million dollars to his hated rival [[Characters/DCAUJoker the Joker]] after he passes away, even passing over his bodyguard of ten years to do so. The Joker promptly goes on a spending spree, buying his way out of justice and spending millions until the [[IntimidatingRevenueService IRS]] comes knocking at his door--all of which Barlowe anticipated ahead of time, leaving the Joker just $10 million in real money with the rest of the inheritance being [[CounterfeitCash completely fake]]. Plunging the Joker into debt with his ThanatosGambit, King Barlowe is one of the perishingly few people to have ever gotten the last laugh on the Clown Prince of Crime.

* FridgeBrilliance: Why does Joker take the issue of being arrested for failing to pay taxes so seriously? If he gets charged with that, he will likely go to a federal prison, which are much more secure and serious than his usual stints at [[CardboardPrison Arkham]].
