When it takes place during the series?


Some say it takes place before the series, some say right between the episodes when it was released (first and second seasons, 65th and 66th episode). Personally I would say it seems to fir as the last episode of the original animated series, before the "revamped" TNBA episodes begin.

I like to think of it as a prequel that explains why Bruce never really got close to any woman on the show.

Got to remember Joker's kicked out tooth by Batman. When did Joker get a new one?

reply

Getting an implant or a plate is pretty easy. It could have been done in a few weeks.

So say that we the viewers believe that this movie is a prequel to the animated series, are we to believe that we were seeing his implant tooth everytime he laughed the whole time?

reply

It’s possible. I don’t think the filmmakers or show runners really gave it much thought but it is possible. One way or another, we would be seeing Joker with an implant for several episodes whether this movie took place before the series, after season 1, or before the "New Adventures" series.
