[Mr. Joker]

The Hulk didn't kill more than the Abomination. The Hulk killed about eight people to ten at the most but the Abomination killed many more. Also, yes, people can survive falls, but if you're being flung through the air by someone who is a monster & is using their full strength just about, you won't survive.

And the Joker popping up & blasting that policeman was badass.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Bank Robbery- 1 directly, 4 indirectly
Mob meeting- 1
Gambol's hangout-1 directly, 2 indirectly
Judge Surrillo, Commissioner Loeb
Brian Douglas (the fake batman)
probably 2-4 cops in the chase scene
At least 5 MCU cops
Rachel
Lau
cop at hospital
probably some people in the hospital.

Thats at least 22-24 people, I'm sure I am leaving out some.

I guess you could in a way say he was partially responsible for Two Face's death also

10 before the actual blow-up at MCU-HQ. Remember?

"And you killed six of my friends"
*mouthing* "ten"

And then there's the guy with the cell phone in his chest and a bunch of other cops that died during that explosion.

^ That all sounds about right.

If the OP wants to compare Joker to other villains, Joker probably ranks at the top with the likes of Dark Phoenix for killing the most people in one movie. Joker, however, holds the top spot for some of the most sadistic and vile deaths staged by any comic book movie villain I can think of at the moment.

Dark Phoenix. I totally forgot. X3 had its moments, I guess. I would give it a solid 6/10. A slightly above average movie.

 

[Hero_for_hire]

didnt jack nicholson's joker kill around 70 people tho with all that gas with the money and the restuartant

 

[Mr. Joker]

He didn't kill as nearly as many people as Heath's Joker.

he doesnt mouth "ten" he mouths "six" like "wow, thats a lot of your friends, that must be tough for you"

 

[ray243]

My movie have subtitles...and heath's words was subtitled as 'six?'

I saw a subtitled version too; to me, he clearly says six

 

[thejon93]

Yeah, but Heath-Joker did it more(I'm stealing a line from Alfred here) "fashionable".

 

[SuperBatman]

Has anybody counted that mob guy the Joker sent to be cut up and eat by his pooches. Sure it was indirectly but he ordered for it to happen.

Jack's kill count might actually be in the thousands, remember the parade? Anyone that inhaled smilex = toast.

 

[Simon Phoenix]

me and my g/f watched the movie again last night...this time we kept a count on all the people Joker killed directly and indirectly....came out to 46 give or take some that weren't completely confirmed(ie. swat team in swat van rammed into the river and not sure exactly how many cops were killed with the fat thug bomb)

Charlton Heston holds the record. He decimated the entire planet in Beneath the Planet of the Apes....and they still made a sequel!

 

[gazzilla8000]

I think he had the Chechen killed and Gordon said there were 50 unaccounted after Gotham General blew up. So that could be anywhere from 0-49 since Harvey was one of the 50.


And we're left to guess what happened to Mike Engel.

I thought those people who were unnacounted for were the ones who were taken hostage at the end in the docks.

 

[StillTheKing]

Wouldnt it be 2 cops at the hospital? Because one cop tells another to get Dent on the bus. Dent never gets on the bus so the cop goes back into the building and then we actually see Joker kill the other cop. So assuming Joker would of had to killed the first cop to keep Dent.

I may be wrong though

 

[bosef982]

Don't forget Lau.

 

[The Guard]

I thought the "villain killings" in BATMAN and THE DARK KNIGHT were pretty evenly matched. They both killed a decent amount of people in some fairly inventive ways. TDK's Joker gets the edge for also helping to "kill" Harvey Dent and the nature of Rachel's death.

 

[DACrowe]

-4 guys at bank robbery (he ordered all of their deaths and killed one himself)
-1 Magic Trick volunteer
-1 Gambol
-2 of Gambol's thugs
-1 Brian Douglas, not-the-real-Batman
-1 The judge
-1 Commissioner Loeb
-6 (apparently) MCU cops in mid-climax chase
-? of civilians shot as they drove by Joker
-? number of cops and perps killed in the cell phone bomb but at least 6 were present, counting his hostage
-1 Rachel Dawes
-1 Lau
-1 Russian dude who was fed to dogs
-2 cops in hospital
-? number of people if any left in hospital

So that is AT LEAST 30 people and that does not count the two mentioned at the end of Batman Begins that pushes it to 32 without the unknown number before TDK beyond that or if he killed any of those drivers in the street or anyone in the hospital in the movie.

And just for fun here is Two-Face's numbers

-1 tubby corrupt cop
-1 Maroni
-1 Maroni driver
-1 himself

So counting himself that is only 4 bodies, but a far more viscous streak than any other-non-Joker villain had this summer at the movies. Lot of bodies in this movie, eh?

 

[Mr. Joker]

He killed 10 cops, he mouthed it himself.

 

[bkey]

He killed 10 cops, he mouthed it himself.

He mouthed "6"

 

[DeGenerate10]

He killed 10 cops, he mouthed it himself.

6 he mouthed 6 damnit

 

[Mr. Joker]

He mouthed 10, I've seen it twice & watched out for when he did it. He wanted to know if the cop really knew how many he killed. The cop said 6, the Joker said 10.
