Default Is there anything the Joker won't do?

Or is he totally without ethical boundaries whatsoever?

We've seen versions of him rape, attempt rape, and attempt to kill babies.

I would say there's little ethical boundries for him left to cross.

No, he's very clearly the worst kind of monster.

He has no ethical boundaries, true.
But there are some lines he just won't cross.
For example, he'll never get mood and kill himself.

Though, that might be more because he racks in the money for DC than any character trait.

He'd never let anyone get away with slagging off the Marx Brothers...

Joker has killed more people than heart disease. His sins know no bounds.

He'd never let anyone pull off a bigger boner than his own...



Although Batman has tried to beat him (and himself apparently)...

Joker would never allow anyone else to kill Batman....

Actually, Joker does have an ethical boundary.

He won't violate state seatbelt laws. He's all about "Click it or ticket." All about seatbelt safety.

Tec 826 reveals this forgotten soft spot Joker has for automobile safety:

honest question.... would the joker kill a baby? sodomize a child? rape a kid? toruture animals? is that beyond his scope or is it dc doesn't want to show him do that? I think there has to be a line he WONT cross if only for the sake of editorial mandate.

If anything, DC won't let him be shown doing certain things. That and Joker doesn't really do sexual crimes, though Azz's Joker seems to be trying to change that, which angers me.

If he thinks it's funny he'll do it... He just doesn't care...

Well , for one thing , the joker will not eat crap like the 2 girls 1 cup video.
No , he'll make others do it but not himself.

But he did take naked photos of Babs in The Killing Joke to help drive Jim Gordon down. I think that the Joker's writers want to make people think that he is capable of these things, but it's assumed that he never took that full step into actually doing the deed.
