When the Joker crashes Bruce Wayne’s fundraiser for Harvey Dent, one man unexpectedly stands up to the villain, telling him, “We’re not intimidated by thugs.” Sadly, his bravery makes him a target of the Joker, but he’s almost immediately saved by both Rachel Dawes and Batman.
Sharp-eyed Batman fans may recognize the man as Democratic U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy from Vermont. Known for overseeing former President Trump’s second impeachment trial in early 2021, Leahy is now third in line for the presidency under the Biden administration.
Outside politics, however, Leahy is a huge Batman fan and has cameoed in both “Batman Forever” (1995) and “Batman and Robin” (1997). He played a Wayne Enterprises board member in “The Dark Knight” and “The Dark Knight Rises” (2012) and fittingly played a senator during Superman’s senate hearing in “Batman v. Superman” (2016). His voice can also be heard in an episode of “Batman: The Animated Series,” where he plays a territorial governor.
Leahy donates the fees from his Batman appearances to the Kello-Hubbard Library in Vermont, where he first read Batman comics. He even used Batman to help ban the export of landmines in 1996 when he worked with DC Comics on a Batman story about the dangers of landmines, “Death of Innocence,” to gain support (the measures passed 100 to 0).
Well, there are those who root for the Joker, ridicule orphans and those in need, and can’t even count the correct number of notes in the theme. But then they’ve always been pretty off the beaten path about counting. So much so that they don’t count for much. They really downplay education in the Turd Reich ’cuz duh Orange Orangutan really loves them thar unedu-ma-cated people. Hyuck, hyuck, hyuck
Clay Bennett, thank you for basing your artwork today on the Batman, Robin, and Joker from the multiple 1990’s and early 2000’s Batman series. These series provided the pinnacle of Batman animation, the storytelling was amazing, and Kevin Conroy, voicing Batman, and Mark Hamill, voicing Joker, are still my go to voices whenever I read the character’s dialogue.

Ah the Joker from the animated Batman of the 1990’s. It started with a Christmas show featuring the new version of the Joker. Voiced by Mark Hamill.
