    Kind of skipping the fact that the whole "Joker Fish" scheme involved attempted murder of the men who denied his dubious copyright claim, and that the whole thing was likely just a trap to get the attention of Batman and feed him to a shark.
    Also, he'd probably be sued by fishermen for ruining their businesses, and he probably isn't allowed to genetically alter fish in a public river, especially en masse.

    I'm not a lawyer, just a normal person with a strong interest in IP law. However my take on the episode was always that The Joker was mistaken in trying to copyright the fish. It'd be more accurate to attempt to trademark them. (Though the video does make a good point that the formula for altering the fish was probably patentable.) However, the fact that Joker applied the chemical to a public resource (wild fish in Gotham), means his claim probably wouldn't stand if you went with the patent or trademark claims since he illegally applied it without government or public consent. Then again, this is a murderous madman clown we're talking about as his real end goal was just to make an example of some randomly chosen low-level government employee.

    The animated Joker never actually succeeded in killing anyone other than Carl Beaumont (and the only witness to that crime was Andrea Beaumont, who's an unstable murderer herself) and those two guys in the one-shot anthology story "Joker After Midnight" (which is arguably non-canonical anyway). But in "Holiday Knights" he DID announce on live TV that he was going to kill as many people as possible (though he never mentioned the specifics). And in "Harlequinade" he outright threatened the city with a nuclear warhead, which is a clear terrorism charge!

    You can't genetically modify things that are not your property. If that were the case, protestors would be allowed to go into Monsanto and change their crop formulas such that they produce seeds so farmers don't need to re buy them. That argument would set terrible precedence for environmental law as anyone or corporation could dump or pollute government owned or protected lands with intention: intention to fix plant or fish populations such that fisheries would be forced to close in favor of their non-polluted, non-modified farmed fisheries, intention to pollute to deter predators from fisheries with unforeseen consequences on the environment or result of the species modified to no longer hunt the crop fish, and just intention to force people to consume their product without any FDA testing of effects that could have on people or the environment.

    There is a fanfic story in which the main character kills the Joker and surrenders to Batman, telling him that there is no jury in the world that would ever convict him for it. The prosecution presents video proof of him committing the deed, himself happily confessing to it, along with all the other absolute proof he did it, and the jury finds him not guilty. No higher court has any interest in even considering interfering. Batman is left shocked that normal people do not share his ideals but in fact have very little problem with killing violent criminals. Especially the ones in Gotham. Especially especially the freaking Joker.

      Well he did say a "little". We see what the Joker is really capable of in the DCAU Movies, where censors are much laxer. he still kills a lot of people in the show but most of it's done off screen, and even a lot of his on-screen violence tends to use jump cuts rather than showing him directly doing something. At least till JU, since they were running on a later time-slot and could get away with more. they still did a ridiculously good job considering that BTAS was saturday morning block at the time, and one of the most censored blocks. Especially when you compare it to say Spiderman:TAS, which was very heavily censored by comparison.

    Poisoning a river to deliberately modify an animal using toxins would bring me to a point of arguing bio-terroism. In essence in actuality it could be a basis for a Domestic Terrorism case. The fact that most rivers feed in to water systems that humans use for either consumption or agricultural use surely would have led to human victims be damned. Let's not even bring up that in a metropolitan area homeless people are known to fish in irrigation ponds and flow throughs so humans would have definitely been affected causing new charges, this would have been multiple federal charges.

    The sadist thing about Joker's plan is that he would actually win his case. Just look into the numerous cases where Monsanto has sued farmers claiming that the were growing Monsanto patented GMO crops without permission. Even in cases where the "crops" in question where growing wild on the edge of the property because you know seeds get carried by the wind from neighboring farms that are using them.
    The judge's ruling was insane as he declared it didn't matter how the plant got there, be it through intentional act of farmer or carried on the wind, or planted there by Monsanto themselves, the farmer was infringing on Monsanto's intellectual rights without permission. And yeah the third one I added mainly cause I don't recall the full list and it's to drive home the point of how insane the ruling was. Becuase it's a bit like police knocking on your door and arresting you as an accessory to bank robbery for possessing stolen goods because some of the money that was stolen blew out the robber's car and is now scattered in your front yard.

      "anyone" ?
      The Joaquin Phoenix-starring "Joker" made over a billion worldwide and that performance of the character got crazy respect. The Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger Jokers are beloved by TONS of people.
      I love Mark Hamil's Joker as well, he's up there in the top three of them and on any given day is probably my favourite (Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker, his last appearance in Justice League, and Mask Of The Phantasm push him up the list even more than Batman: TAS already did, but they're all part of the same continuity).
