The Joker is an absurdly chaotic and dangerous character, but even he knows not to mess with Superman's city, especially after one deadly threat.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite most people not considering Superman a particularly scary superhero, that doesn't seem to be true for the Joker. Even though Joker has terrorized Gotham City for decades, he wants absolutely nothing to do with Metropolis because one fatal threat from the Man of Steel.
Most superheroes tend to have their own iconic rogues galleries: Batman has the Joker, Scarecrow, Two-Face, Bane, and many others, while Superman has Lex Luthor, Zod, Doomsday, and plenty more. But occasionally there's a magical moment when villains crossover with a different hero, like the time Riddler decided to go after Green Arrow. While Superman villains don't usually make their way into Gotham City, the same can't be said for the other way around.
Superman Threatens the Joker — with Death The reason Joker is so terrified of the Man of Steel is revealed in a story from Adventures of Superman #14 by Max Landis, Jock, Lee Loughridge, and Wes Abbott. This Joker is still early in his criminal career and tries to figure out exactly where and what he wants to do. Apparently, in his quest to discover this, Joker thought it would be a good idea to go into Metropolis.
While this might seem like a harsh reaction from Superman, it's entirely justified. The Joker wants to corrupt symbols, to prove that everyone deep down is just like him. That's why he continues to fight Batman, even sparing Batman's life on several occasions instead of ending their rivalry. The Joker doesn't want to kill Batman; the Joker wants Batman to kill him, to break his one rule and change himself forever.
Superman Is Terrifying When He Wants to Be While Superman isn't known for killing, he doesn't technically have a code against killing like Batman does. Because of Batman's childhood trauma, it's been inherently ingrained inside the Dark Knight to never take a life. Superman hasn't gone through the same kind of personal tragedy, so, while he does his best not to, he has no qualms using lethal force.
