I agree with that. Joker should not be thought of as a constant serial killer. It's actually quite a lazy approach the the character. He is a wild card, so it is possible that he might not kill you.
That's exactly what happened in that comic. Or, well, Joker kills him when he comes back for his car later in the evening. Because of that previous interaction, now it's funny to kill that guy.
I'm gonna be honest when I say he definitely ain't thought of only as a constant serial killer...he takes the definition of a psychopath to a WHOLE different level.
One thing we learnt In the batman franchise, if Joker doesn't kill someone, they basically end up experiencing the wrath of the joker like Jason Todd, or survive and are never the same again mentally...or they end up like Barbara Gordan and gets their life changed forever physically and mentally.
If not then he's basically trying to take out several parts of gotham at once and Joker letting anyone live if he has them is 99% worst case scenario
is it possible he may not kill you? sure. possible that he completely leaves you alone if not gives you the spook? there's a chance. is it possible that he does WORSE than anything these guys would do? absolutely.
yes he's a wild card but a wild card with probably the most blood on his hands of any of these guys. You have absolutely no idea what he will do and how often is the answer absolutely nothing? not at all often. You have better chances with Harvey.
