Notes: I'm considering doing Yang vs Tifa in the future. I see a lot of people requesting that one. I want to make it unique though, so please give me some time.

More notes: I should also mention that the Earth exists and is alive in this fanfiction. Team RWBY would love to visit the Earth. Supposedly, it's in another dimension. I'll discuss this later on hopefully. I could also use some encouragement to write this fanfiction. Would you like to see some OCs based on the combatants in the future? Thank you for reading this. Stay tuned for more episodes.

Joker belongs to DC Comics.

Sweet Tooth belongs to Sony.

RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth.

Death Battle belongs to ScrewAttack. I used the video and script as sources to help me write this story.

All songs and copyright material belong to their respective owners.

Ruby was happy to be able to watch Death Battle again with her friends. Ever since she and her teammates found that mysterious box of Death Battle discs, she knew she was in for a pleasant surprise. Ruby and her friends were curious about Earth though. Based on the clues RWBY found in the box, the Earth is a real world, and it's alive as well as the people and animals that live there. Team RWBY would love to visit Earth one day. They could meet the people there, visit its many places, and create fun memories. But this is a topic for another day. As long as the Earth is still alive, Team RWBY has a chance to visit the Earth. "We could all visit the Earth together," Ruby said this to herself on a regular basis.

Ruby was happy after watching the last Death Battle. There were so many weapons used, and as a weapon fanatic, Ruby was nearly satisfied. Now all she needs is a vehicle combat based Death Battle, and she will go to sleep all satisfied. Little did she know, that's what she'll get.

"Hey guys! Let's watch another Death Battle already!" Ruby beamed.

"Okay, okay. No need to scream, you dolt," Weiss groaned.

"These episodes are fun. I must say, I'm having a good time," Blake said.

"Right on! Now you're talking, Blake," Yang exclaimed.

"I hope we see cool vehicles next," Ruby hoped. She pressed play.

(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)

Wiz: They visit you for birthday parties, cheer you up when you're sad, and probably also want to kill you.

RWBY shuddered at the image of a scary clown with sharp teeth.

"Clowns? We're watching clowns now?" Yang questioned.

Boomstick: Clowns... The Joker, Gotham's jester of genocide.

Wiz: And Sweet Tooth, the violent victor of Twisted Metal.

"Clowns. I'm not sure what to think about this," Ruby said. WBY didn't know what to think either. Regardless, they were still interested and wanted to watch.

Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.

Joker

(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)

Boomstick: Gotham City, a vile breeding ground for criminals and crazy people.

"Hey. It's Batman's city," Blake pointed out. Blake and her friends recalled Batman and his city.

Wiz: In such a bleak city, it's important to look for humor wherever you can, even if it's during the act of murder. And no one gets more jollies out of ruthless felonies than The Joker.

Joker: I'm here, *****es! And I brought favors for everybody!

"This is the Joker? He looks mentally unstable and evil," Weiss remarked.

(*Cues: Bat Attack - Batman: The Animated Series*)

Boomstick: But before he became the Clown Prince of Crime, who was he? A thief who accidentally got his pregnant wife killed? A mob boss who stabbed Batman's girlfriend? A petty thug in the wrong place at the wrong time? Nobody knows for sure, not even The Joker himself.

"Joker has many different incarnations," Blake said.

Background:

Other name: "Jack"

Age: approx. 40

Height: 6'5" | 195 cm

Weight: 192 lbs | 87 kg

Criminal Mastermind

Clinically Insane

AKA The Red Hood

Arch nemesis of Batman (RWBY awed)

Iranian UN ambassador

Wiz: What we DO know is that most likely at some point, he fell into a vat of mysterious chemicals, and Batman was involved. However he came to be, from that moment on, his body and mind were altered forever.

(Joker laughs maniacally)

"Dang. This clown isn't clowning around? Eh? Eh?" Yang joked.

"You're not funny, Yang," Ruby booed at her sister.

"Ouch. That's just cruel, Ruby," Yang replied.

(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)

Boomstick: With a new smile big enough to rival the Grinch, the Joker decided he'd make sure the whole world would share in his sick joke.

Wiz: And what comedy act would be complete without a few wonderful toys?

"See Yang? Even the Joker knows how to be funny," Weiss teased Yang after seeing pie tossed at Batman's face.

"Okay. You don't have to keep pushing my buttons, ice princess," Yang grumbled.

Boomstick: This guy may like his pistols, machine guns, and explosives, but outside of that, his taste in weaponry is anything but simple.

"Huh?" Ruby questioned.

(Batman punches Joker in the face)

Joker: OW! My eye!

(Joker's eye falls out, but it turns out to be an explosive that's about to go off)

Joker: Sucker!

(Batman and Batgirl just barely escape the explosion)

"Cool! Joker has some cool weapons! Please show me more!" Ruby was excited.

(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)

Weapons:

9mm Long Barrel Gun

Machine Guns

Tommy Gun is his favorite

Bombs, Rockets & Explosives

Explosive toys & Fuse Bombs (Yang likes explosives)

Jester Cane Sword

Joker Venom

Acid flower

Razor Sharp Playing Cards

Jokermobile (Ruby is interested)

Boomstick: Like a true prankster gone mad, he carries razor-sharp playing cards, a gag flower filled with acid, an electric hand buzzer that goes a...little too far…

"Nora would love that hand buzzer," Ruby said.

Wiz: But deadliest and most haunting of all is his trademark Joker Venom, a deadly concoction which poisons its victims, forcing them into fits of laughter so uncontrollable that they suffocate and die, while contorting their facial muscles into a nightmarish grin.

RWBY gasped at the horrifying effects the Joker Venom has on its victims.

Boomstick: Talk about killing the audience. (chuckles) Oh...man, that **** looks dangerous to carry around.

"This is more disturbing than the gas the White Fang used on innocent civilians," Blake said. She recalled some scary memories of the torture methods she witnessed back then.

(*Cues: Unknown Theme*)

Wiz: Fortunately for the creepy clown, he's manufactured so much Joker Venom over the years, repeated exposure has given him immunity to his own toxin. But the laughing gas isn't all that makes him a threat in battle.

"Come on! Show me more weapons please," Ruby begged.

(A mobster comes up, Joker grabs him and slams his head down on a pencil he stuck in the table, embedding it into his eye)

Joker: Ta-dah! It's...ah, it's gone!

"Ouch. I didn't see that coming. Get it? 'I' sounds the same as 'eye?'" Yang joked.

RWB ignored Yang. Yang grumbles again.

(*Cues: And I Thought My Jokes Were Bad - The Dark Knight*)

Feats:

Outsmarted Batman several times (Weiss is impressed)

Infiltrated The Pentagon

Beat Ra's al Ghul in chess

Killed 12 League of Assassin ninjas

Beat Wonder Woman

Survived dozens of explosions & falls

Killed the second Robin (RWBY gasped)

Resists mind control

Boomstick: He's a cunning strategist who screws with the minds of the sane and insane alike. He can whip up disguises so convincing, that not even the world's greatest detective recognized him, and for a guy this lanky, he's also surprisingly great going fist to fist.

"Oh my. Joker is actually intelligent, for a maniac," Weiss was astounded by Joker's intelligence.

Wiz: And like most heroes and villains who've been in the game since the 1940's, of course, he has his own car.

"No way! We're going to see awesome vehicles now?" Ruby hoped.

Boomstick: Look at that thing! God, I really need to get back to work on the Boomstickmobile.

"A hot dog car? Couldn't you pick something else, Boomstick?" Weiss shook her head.

"I want a Cookie-mobile, and I want one now!" Ruby cheered.

"That's impossible. That's just pure fantasy, you dolt," Weiss stated.

"Please Weiss. You're ruining the moment," Ruby whined.

Wiz: The Jokermobile, as it's called, was built to compete with the legendary Batmobile.

"How unfair was it that we didn't get to see the Batmobile when Batman fought Captain America and Spiderman," Yang said.

Boomstick: It has mounted machine guns, a bulletproof exterior, and a lethal cannon up top that can spew missiles everywhere!

"My Cookie-mobile would spew explosive cookies everywhere. It would also carry strawberry missiles," Ruby fantasized.

"Why not a Scythe-mobile since you love scythes so much?" Weiss suggested rudely.

Ruby had stars in her eyes and started drooling. "Never mind a Cookie-mobile! I want a Scythe-mobile right now! I'm gonna add hundreds of snipers to it! That's a great idea, Weiss!"

Weiss rolled her eyes. Blake and Yang giggled at Ruby's adorable reaction.

Abilities & Techniques:

Hand to Hand Combat

Insanity can grant almost superhuman strength

Excellent chemist

Resistance to poisons & gases

High tolerance to pain (Yang tolerates a lot of pain)

Master of disguise

Criminal strategist (Weiss likes strategy)

Experienced in manipulating the sane & insane (Blake recalls "manipulating techniques" in the White Fang)

Wiz: After so many years of terrorizing Gotham and beyond, The Joker has more than earned his role of sworn enemy to the Batman. Despite Batman's ludicrous skill and intellect, The Joker's forethought and planning has outsmarted Bats numerous times. In some cases, he's even gone hand to hand and held his own with the Caped Crusader.

"I can see why Joker is Batman's main nemesis," Blake said.

Boomstick: Who was trained by ninjas!

Blake remembered hearing about Batman training with ninjas.

Wiz: He's outfoxed plenty of other heroes too, including Superman, whose brain can function thousands of times faster than humans, like Joker.

"Yeah. He's definitely intelligent," Weiss admired intelligence.

Boomstick: He incapacitated Wonder Woman with just a puff of Joker Venom, blew up Robin after viciously beating him with a crowbar, and when he tracked down Batgirl...

Joker shoots Batgirl.

Boomstick: Well, let's put it nicely and say that she became handi-capable from that point on.

"For a mere human, Joker has done some big accomplishments. Kind of like Batman," Blake said.

(*Cues: Final Confrontation - Batman*)

Boomstick: And thanks to his own insanity, The Joker has stupidly high pain tolerance. The dude got a batarang lodged in his eye, and was still running around, laughing and shooting people! God damn, that's almost as bad as the time he had his own face cut off for giggles.

RWBY gasped and was disgusted by Joker cutting his own face off. Yang attempted to brighten the room by making a joke about 'eyes' again, but immediately remembered how that turned out when she joked liked that earlier in the episode. She decided against it.

"Oh my dust. I think I might fall down," Weiss said, grossed out by Joker cutting his own face off.

Wiz: That's way worse! Ugh! He can certainly take the pain, but this sadistic psychopath is still no harder to kill than most of his victims.

"He is human, after all. Heh heh," Ruby pointed out.

Boomstick: He can die from certain poisons, neck snapping, being stabbed by Pirate Batman, getting bitten by Vampire Batman, and even just a good old-fashioned Superman high five.

"Pirate Batman and Vampire Batman? That's just absurd," Weiss crossed her arms.

Wiz: But one thing remains certain, having this clown show up for your party would make it one bad day.

(Joker, being held by Andrea Beaumont, sees the entire place exploding and collapsing around him, and just laughs)

Joker is definitely worthy of being Batman's rival. Ruby loved the weapons and the Jokermobile, and so does Yang. Weiss liked his smart behavior, and Blake liked his strategies.

Sweet Tooth

(*Cues: Calypso Industries - Twisted Metal (2012)*)

Wiz: How far would you go to have your greatest wish granted? How much would you destroy to get your way?

Boomstick: Any extreme!

"But it is important to be a good person at all times. It's good to have dreams, but you have to be honest and be the best person you can be," Blake spoke in wisdom. RWY agreed too.

Wiz: For those willing to go to any extreme, the annual Twisted Metal contest is right up your alley!

RWBY was interested in this tournament and are ready to listen.

Boomstick: In Twisted Metal, competitors smash vehicles into public property and each other, and that's when they're not shooting crazy **** like rockets and bombs all over the place! God, that'd be fun…

"Oh yeah! That'd be super fun. I would ride my Bumblebee all over the place. Right, Ruby?"

"Right, Yang! I want to see some cool cars!" Ruby cheered.

(*Cues: Main Theme - Twisted Metal (2012) *)

Wiz: The insane lure of Twisted Metal attracts some of the most deranged and unstable minds in the world, including a clown with a flaming scalp, the driver of the infamous ice cream truck called Sweet Tooth.

"Wait. The vehicle is an ice cream truck and is called Sweet Tooth?" Ruby wondered.

(*Cues: Sweet Tooth's Return - Twisted Metal (2012) *)

Needles lights his scalp on fire with a cigar.

Needles: Light 'em up, boys. (laughs evilly)

"Oh great. Another maniac," Weiss groaned.

"But his head is on fire. That's so awesome! I want my hair to burn like fire. But not burn it off course. I mean my hair would be made of fire. Wouldn't that be awesome?" Yang asked.

"I don't think hair made of fire is a possibility, Yang," Blake remarked.

Yang was disappointed.

(*Cues: New York - Twisted Metal 2*)

Background:

Real name: Marcus "Needles" Kane

Age: approx. 42

Height: 5'9" | 175 cm

Weight: 185 lbs | 84 kg

Approx. body count: 1,000 (RWBY was shocked)

Best friend: a paper bag (Ruby laughed hard at this)

Boomstick: Before he was a scary serial killer driving a truck, Marcus Kane was a scary ice cream man driving a truck, and like every ice cream man I know, Marcus had a serious evil split personality problem.

"Hear that, Weiss. Are you still comfortable buying from ice cream trucks?" Yang teased.

"Who said anything about me buying ice cream from trucks. Quit with the teasing already. Geez," Weiss rolled her eyes.

Wiz: Trapped within his head, this sinister side desperately clawed for freedom, eventually forcing Marcus to finally give in and carve his new persona a face. On that day, Marcus Kane died, and the rampage of Needles Kane began.

"So the clown himself is called Needles Kane. Okay," Blake understood.

Boomstick: Needles spent his days murdering anyone he could find, including his own wife and child.

RWBY was horrified at this. "How could he? Murderer!" Ruby cried out.

Wiz: He prefers killing up close and as violently as possible, with his giant serrated machete.

"I think he's even crazier and violent than the Joker," Weiss put her palm near her mouth.

Weapons:

Signature machete

Molotovs

Rocket launcher (Yang loves explosives)

12-gauge shotgun

Chainsaw

Land mines

Boomstick: Which tons of people have been introduced to. They're dead now.

"I can imagine," Blake was still horrified.

Wiz: By his own account, he slaughtered a thousand people before he was finally arrested, it was here he was cursed by a preacher named... Preacher, to suffer the fires of Hell, which apparently means having your head burst into flames, forever.

"Maybe I don't want my head to be on fire anymore," Yang said.

Boomstick: Enraged, he busted out and was eventually found by a man named Calypso. See, Calypso was the one organizing the Twisted Metal tournament, and he thought Needles would be just perfect for it.

"Calypso succeeded in finding a violent candidate," Weiss remarked.

Wiz: For Needles, winning Twisted Metal meant having any wish of his choosing granted, he could finally end the everlasting pain... or have all the candy in the world, anything, really, how could he say no?

"My wish would be to have a never-ending pool of cookies. Or even better, a Scythe-mobile!" Ruby fantasized as she giggled.

"You and your absurd fantasies, Ruby," Weiss shook her head.

Boomstick: Needles knew just the car that would take him to victory, complete with tasty treats! His ice cream truck, the Sweet Tooth.

"I hope it carries ice cream cookie sandwiches. Yum," Ruby said.

(*Cues: The Bedroom - Twisted Metal 4 *)

Sweet Tooth:

Modified Chevrolet Step Van (Yang would love to upgrade her bike one day)

Specializes in armor and damage output

Weapons

Dual Gatling guns

Missiles

Laughing Ghost

Flight

Gatling gun

Sweet Bot transformation

Sweet Slam

Laughing Death

Wiz: This modified Chevrolet step van is anything but what it appears to be, with its shocking maneuverability and durability, Sweet Tooth is like a tank, capable of taking loads of damage without stopping.

"That's how I would describe myself," Yang grinned.

Boomstick: The Sweet Tooth menu includes front mounted spikes, Gatling guns, and homing ice cream cone missiles, and for the cherry on top, he blasts the explosive clown head from the roof as a homing weapon, which laughs and goes through walls. If that's not enough, it transforms into a God damn robot!

"A robot!?" Ruby and Yang fangirled.

Wiz: The Sweet Bot carries a massive, multi-barrel Gatling gun, reinforced armor plating, and can even throw its own head like a grenade.

"Don't lose your head over it, Ruby!" Yang joked.

"Yang. Stop. I'm watching robots and vehicles," Ruby complained.

"Fine," Yang said.

Boomstick: But the real beauty's in the Sweet Slam, an attack where the bot launches into the air with its jetpack, and drops like a hammer, with enough force to crush a whole building.

"Sweet Tooth sounds unstoppable," Blake said, amazed.

(*Cues: Keen Instinct - Twisted Metal: Black*)

Feats:

Won Twisted Metal numerous times

Killed Calypso twice

Murdered an entire hospital (RWBY was horrified)

Ran Twisted Metal once

Survived electric chair & escaped

Strong enough to throw people out of reinforced windows

Wiz: Sweet Tooth can take dozens of missiles and keep on trucking, but even without his wheels, Needles is one tough son of a *****. He's strong enough to casually shatter reinforced windows, tough enough to take a stab to the face…

"I didn't see…" Yang started, but was interrupted.

"That 'eye' joke is getting old. Stop it," Blake said.

Yang signed.

Boomstick: And even survived the electric chair, doesn't that mean he gets to walk free? I read that on the internet once.

"In your dreams, Boomstick," Weiss said.

Wiz: No, first, that's a myth, second, a person wouldn't be able to walk after getting blasted with over 2,000 volts of electricity, stopping their heart, burning their body, paralyzing their muscles, and melting their eyes, unless your Needles Kane, who broke out of the chair, killed everyone, and escaped.

"Nora's semblance is useless against him," Ruby awed.

Boomstick: See, this is why anytime I meet a clown, I take 'em out right away.

Wiz: When has a clown ever done anything to you?

Boomstick: They've never had the chance. Heh, who's laughing now, Chuckles?

"That's because you're a maniac too, you dunce," Weiss shouted at Boomstick.

Wiz: But Needles is by no means unkillable, and Calypso has played him for a fool more times than not, like when he wished to find his missing daughter, so he could kill her, and wound up trapped and suffocating in her coffin, underground, because she was already dead.

"Must be his punishment," Blake said.

Boomstick: Still, it just goes to show, Needles and his Sweet Tooth will do anything it takes to get the kill.

Man: Wh..What have you done with my son?

Needles shoves an ice cream scoop into the man's face.

RWBY was disturbed again.

Boomstick: ****ing clowns!

Blake gazed on. "I know right?"

Needles and his Sweet Tooth make a deadly combination. Ruby liked the Sweet Bot. Yang also thought it was cool and hopes she can upgrade her bike one day. Although not as enthusiastic as the sisters, Blake and Weiss thought the Sweet Tooth was cool, minus the fact that a psychotic clown is driving it.

"I don't think I'm rooting for these two jokesters, because they're, you know, crazy and evil," Ruby said.

"At least the vehicles are cool," Yang said.

"Speaking of vehicles, how is Joker going to get passed the Sweet Tooth and its robot form?" Blake wondered.

"Seeing as how smart and unpredictable the Joker is, he might find a way. After all, he outsmarted Batman multiple times, which is pretty impressive, for a clown," Weiss answered.

"It would be sweet if we get to see the Jokermobile fight the Sweet Tooth," Yang added "sweet" for humor, only to receive no response as usual.

Wiz: Alright. The combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!

Death Battle

Joker finds the Batmobile at night in a city.

Joker: Hmm, I like the model, but not really my color...

"Make it yellow!" Yang shouted.

"No! Red!" Ruby screamed.

"I like the Batmobile's current color just fine," Blake said, admiring the Batmobile's dark color.

"Please. Knowing the Joker, it's going to be white," Weiss blankly stated.

(*Cues: Dom Vs. Brian - Fast and Furious 4 *)

After painting the Batmobile, Joker drives the Batmobile, now a Jokermobile, and takes the streets. Weiss smirked a little at the Jokermobile's white color, but didn't cared for the green and purple colors.

Yang laughed. "The car even has a mouth! What's it gonna do? Eat some ice cream?"

Joker: Hoo hoo hoo! Yeah!

Scene shifts to Needles holding an ice cream cone.

Needles: Ahh, (sniffs it) it's perfect!

The Joker drives by and steals the ice cream cone.

Joker: Yoink! (Joker drives off laughing which infuriates Needles) Sigh, like taking candy from a baby.

"Yeah! Like that time I stole Weiss's strawberry ice cream cone!" Ruby said happily.

Weiss is angry. "I won't forget that, you dolt!"

"Don't blame me. I love strawberries," Ruby raised her hands in defense.

Needles's hand forms a fist.

"I wonder if Joker knows what he got himself into," Blake said.

Needles catches up to Joker on the Sweet Tooth. He hits Joker's car, and the ice cream cone is spilled.

"No! Not the strawberry ice cream cone!" Ruby was horrified.

Both clowns face each other in their cars.

FIGHT!

After a corner turn, Joker emerges from his car's hatch. He takes out the tommy gun.

Joker: Let's get wild!

Joker shoots at the Sweet Tooth, but it doesn't damage it. The Sweet Tooth activates its Gatling guns and fires. The Joker goes back in his car.

"Not even a scratch," Ruby was impressed by the both car's ability to tank damage, quickly forgetting the strawberry ice cream cone.

Needles: You're road kill! ROAD KILL! YOU HEAR ME!?

"Geez. What a hothead! Right guys?" Yang joked.

RWB groaned.

"You guys don't understand humor like I do," Yang said, a bit hurt.

Joker observes the many buttons in his car.

Joker: Ooh, so many buttons! Eeny, meeny, miney... all of them!

Ruby and Yang laughed. "Joker is one funny guy," Ruby laughed.

Blake and Weiss thought Joker acting silly was just a nature of his character, but also amusing nonetheless.

Joker presses all of the buttons, firing many kinds of weapons at the Sweet Tooth. He then spots a button with a lightning bolt.

Joker: Hmm, what's this one do? (pushes it) Boop!

The Jokermobile gains a speed boost, passing the Sweet Tooth and jumping from a truck's ramp.

"Look! DBX!" Ruby pointed out. WBY noticed as well.

Joker: BEST BUTTON EVER!

"I love that button too!" Ruby beamed.

"You people are having way too much fun," Weiss crossed her arms.

The Sweet Tooth throws its clown head at the Jokermobile. It hits, and the car crashes into a building. Joker gets out quickly.

"What? That's it? No more Jokermobile?" Ruby asked in disappointment.

(*Cues: Blood Bag - Mad Max: Fury Road*)

Joker: Really? Can't just let a guy have his fun...

"You better start taking this seriously," Blake said to Joker.

Needles stops the Sweet Tooth. Joker gets up.

Joker: Okay okay, let's go!

Needles: Here I come, scrawny!

"Yikes. He's gonna be roadkill," Ruby remarked.

Needles and his Sweet Tooth charge at Joker. Joker proceeds to taunt him.

Joker: All right let's see it! Come and get it, tough guy! (The Sweet Tooth continues speeding forward) You miserable excuse for a clown! Come on! (Needles prepares to hit his target) Come on!

Joker takes out a gun and shoots at the Sweet Tooth's tire. As the ice cream truck loses control, Joker leaps inside it.

"Wow! Nice jump, Joker!" Yang awed.

Joker: Oooh excuse me! I want to drive!

Joker and Needles fight over the steering wheel and crash into multiple vehicles. Joker stops when the flames on Needles's head burns his hand. Joker yells in pain.

"Of course they don't care," Weiss facepalmed at how the two are causing chaos to the streets.

Joker: Let me put that out for you!

Joker sprays his acid flower in Needles's face while laughing, causing the car to go even more out of control. He eventually regains his sight.

"He's too funny. Joker is such a funny guy," Ruby repeated once more, in between laughs.

Needles: Shut up and bleed you motherf-

Joker electrocutes Needles with the hand buzzer. It doesn't work on him.

"If he can survive the electric chair, he can certainly withstand a little hand buzzer," Blake commented.

Needles: Get out!

Needles kicks Joker out.

Joker: Ow! My spleen!

"Oh. You'll be fine," Yang said.

Needles stops the car.

Joker: Can't take a joke, can you, big guy?

The Sweet Tooth forms into the Sweet Bot.

Joker: Okay... THAT'S funny.

"And dangerous. And really cool!" Ruby added.

The Sweet Bot throws Joker all the way into a building.

"Yep. He's super dead," Weiss said.

Joker is alive, but impaled on a pole. Sweet Bot slowly approaches.

"He's not. He has high pain tolerance, remember?" Blake reminded.

"Pfft. I can survive that too, you know?" Yang said arrogantly.

"Okay. So he's not dead. But there is something strange and scary about being impaled by a pole like that. Especially if it's from behind," Weiss shivered at the scary thought.

(*Cues: Immortan's Citadel - Mad Max: Fury Road*)

Joker: Okay... let's, let's talk about this. Killing someone from inside a tin can? That's no fun! (The Sweet Bot stops)

"Wait. Why is Needles stopping?" Ruby pondered.

Joker: The cold of their skin... The blankness of their eyes... The reveal, of who they really are... So much better when you savor all the little emotions...

Needles exits the robot. He drags his machete towards Joker.

Joker:...right?

Needles: Right…

"Oh. I see. Joker manipulated Needles to get him out of the robot. That's pretty smart," Weiss was impressed.

Needles picks Joker up and stares at him.

Needles: I want to see you bleed... I want to watch you die…

"Joker is taking advantage of Needles's mental state," Blake replied.

(*Cues: Spikey Cars - Mad Max: Fury Road*)

Joker: Just... one more lesson, capiche? The best kind of punchline...(chuckles) is the one you don't see coming!

Joker uses his Joker Venom on Needles. Needles grabs his face.

Needles: Ugh! What is this!?

"What?! The Joker Venom can affect him?" Ruby was shocked.

Joker laughs. Needles goes to Joker and strangles him.

Needles: DIE DIE DIE die... hehehe

Screen turns black with images slowly appearing. RWBY is left to wonder what is going on.

(*Cues: Immortan - Mad Max: Fury Road*)

Needles starts laughing. He sees images of the Joker while he laughs. Eventually, so much laughter lead up to slaughter as Needles dies from the poison. Joker keeps laughing as police cars start showing up.

KO!

Results

(*Cues: Final Confrontation - Batman again*)

Boomstick: Oh come on. It wasn't that funny.

"But Joker was super funny," Ruby defended.

"Joker puts the 'laughter' in 'slaughter!' Eh? Eh?" Yang laughed.

RWB got angry and shouted at the same. "Stop it, Yang!"

Wiz: Both clowns were skilled in combat, but Joker's superior tactics and unpredictable weaponry gave him the leg up he needed.

Boomstick: When you have a toxic gas so deadly it can take out the entire Justice League, all The Joker needed was one opportunity to use it.

"So it can affect the whole Justice League. This gas is way worse than I thought," Blake said.

Wiz: And despite his lanky frame, The Joker can take a lot of punishment, and he's good enough to survive hand to hand combat with Batman.

"No wonder he survived that crash to a building," Weiss understood.

Boomstick: Hell, he's smart enough to trick Batman and even manipulate the incorruptible Superman into being pawns in his schemes.

"And he's really smart too. Finally, smart combatants using manipulative techniques," Weiss further added.

Wiz: As opposed to Needles, whose mental capacity is limited to just one thing...

Boomstick: Murder, murder, and more murder, with a dash of ice cream.

"Shame about the strawberry ice cream cone, though," Ruby remembered.

Wiz: The Joker has plenty of experience manipulating the minds of homicidal maniacs. In fact, many people like Needles have wound up in Joker's game. It was only a matter of time before he made his opportunity to use the Joker Venom.

"Looking back, that's how the higher leaders of the White Fang recruited many members for their cause. They were manipulative and clever," Blake recalled.

Boomstick: Joker wasn't clowning around in this gas of a fight that had us on pins... and needles.

Wiz: We should really put you on a limit.

"Yeah. You're just as bad as Yang in cheap jokes," Weiss said.

"Hey! I heard that!" Yang shouted.

Boomstick: Aw, come on, Wiz. Those puns were Sweet.

Wiz: (annoyed) The winner is The Joker.

Joker: (signed) Well. That was fun. Who's for Chinese?

"We're all annoyed too, Wiz. Boomstick and Yang just can't get a hint," Blake said.

"Whatever. Nobody appreciates a good comedian anymore," Yang said, annoyed how throughout the episode, her puns were shot down every time.

Ruby laughed. "Silly Yang. You're not the Joker."

"No I'm not. I'm Yang Xiao Long. Master of puns!" Yang responded.

More like master of boredom and annoyance, Weiss thought, rolling her eyes.

"Guys. Please. We're all tired. Let's rest for tomorrow, okay?" Blake attempted to calm everyone down.

RWBY agreed as they all went to their beds. Ruby dreamed about driving the Scythe-mobile while Yang drived her bike, Bumblebee. In the dream, Ruby and Yang dispatched hundreds of grimm with upgraded versions of their vehicles. Ruby laughed and awed at the cool scenes this brought up. "Good night, everyone."
