Tell me Bats. What are you really scared of? Failing to save this cesspool of a city? Not finding the Commissioner in time? Me, in a thong?

Behind the line
Spoilers for Batman: Arkham Asylum
What it means
Our interpretation.
Joker turns a question about fear into another chance to unsettle Batman. The serious dangers are followed by a deliberately ridiculous image, mixing threat with mockery. His taunt suggests that even a crisis is, for him, an occasion to perform and test his opponent's composure.
