- Joker is also the only fighter to hit the opponent AFTER they are down. He does this by stomping on their groin. This cannot be prevented, and always happens when a fatality is not performed.
- His Fatality, the Killing Joke, is named after the oneshot comic showcasing a psychological battle between him and his archnemesis, Batman, whilst detailing pieces of his life before turning into the Joker.
- In his ending, using the powers he gained using the worldmerge crisis, he took over Gotham City and turned it into a city of chaos as "Major Joker", it is implied that he has become the DC Universe's version of Shang Tsung as there is mention of a tournament where contestants fight for his amusement, where the winner faces him in a fight to the death, a clear reference to the first Mortal Kombat game.
