    Who would you not want to see standing over your bed at night - a pissed off Batman or a gleeful Joker?

    I haven't done anything criminal wise so I'd pick Batman, I'd assume he's there to give me early tickets for BvS.

    Same! lol

    Well I don't think Batman would run around handing out tickets. If he's here you're either in danger or you're lying to us.

    @jonny_anonymous: Well... he'll break your bones, leave you with internal bleeding and heavy concussions. He won't kill you, he'll allow you to remain in the hospital uncomfortably in pain. He might visit you every night and psychologically torture you until you get him the information he wanted or maybe he just wants revenge. And you still won't die because as you sit in prison, you'll just keep replaying the trauma in your head, suffering a lifelong experience of the brutal memories while getting butt-raped and beaten for the remainder of your unfortunate life.

    At least with Joker, you might get a nice laugh before finally dying.

    Joker tried to kill a bunch of babies that one time. Batman's actually saved Joker's life. The one that does not protect the sh**tiest people in Gotham, is scarier.

    @jonny_anonymous: If Batman is pissed at you, assume you did something wrong enough to warrant it. So, yes, he will.

    @zer0-x: thats true, tbh.

    I don't know both are scary. Joker methods are crazy but less painful. Batman methods are scary and painful.

    @jonny_anonymous: The whole point of Batman coming after you is because, in this scenario, you've done something wrong. He wouldn't be in your bedroom otherwise.

    Not really afraid of dying. More worried about being internally damaged for the rest of my life (say broken spine, arms, so forth)...so, Batman.

    Depends. To criminals, it's Batman. To others, it's Joker.
