He appears again in the episode "The Knights of Tomorrow!", which was entirely a fiction story written by Alfred Pennyworth where an aged, dying Joker trains a new successor in a plot of revenge against Batman. However when he is tricked by Batman into entering the latter’s mind he finds himself in a world were Batman doesn't exist, meaning he is sane, and relinquishes his powers to escape. Joker kills Batman before resurrecting him multiple times.
Joker’s girlfriend Harley Quinn made her first appearance as well. He also appeared as the main villain in the episode "Emperor Joker" a partial remake of the "Emperor Joker" storyline in the comics in which he acquires Bat-Mite's limitless powers and uses them to reshape reality in his image.
He ends up getting arrested by the heroes at the end of the episode. The Joker appears again in "Death Race to Oblivion", in which he, Batman, Green Arrow, Plastic Man and Woozy Winks, Huntress, Guy Gardner, Catwoman, Black Manta and Gentleman Ghost are chosen by Mongul to race against his champion Steppenwolf for the fate of the planet. He also makes a cameo at Arkham Asylum in "Mayhem of the Music Meister!". He was defeated by the combined efforts of Batman and Green Arrow. He appears again in "Hail the Tornado Tyrant!" where he is being tailed by Batman and Green Arrow. He was bowled over when Batman bowled Tweedledum and Tweedledee into the villains. In "Legends of the Dark Mite!", the Joker makes an appearance as an illusion in the 5th Dimension. However, he changes his mind after Joker declares that next time, he will defeat Batman once and for all. This results in Batman thinking that even someone like Joker can redeem himself. The Joker did comment that he enjoyed working with Batman before being loaded into the paddy wagon, restrained in a fashion similar to Hannibal Lecter. As Owlman was returned to his dimension in bondage, the Joker, alongside the other bad guys, were sent to prison.
While the two are arguing, Batman manages to trap Joker and Owlman in wax. During the fight, he refused to let Owlman kill Batman as it was his “destiny” to do so. Eventfully, however, he joined Owlman when he gave him an opportunity to kill Batman at last. At first, Joker seemed to become good, saving Batman's life and even saving a child from getting killed in the crossfire. In "Game Over for Owlman", Joker teamed up with Batman to defeat Owlman when the villain was upstaging his own crimes.
