Batman: The Animated Series
Episode 34
The Laughing Fish
The Joker mutates some fish and tries to copyright them. Unable to get his copyright approved he proceeds to terrorize innocent bureaucrats. Another great Joker episode and Harley Quinn at her finest. The Joker could have likely appealed his copyright case instead of infecting people with his laughing toxin which makes people laugh so hard they become catatonic, a fate far worse than death.
The Joker really had a solid lawsuit he could have taken all the way to the Supreme Court. It would have been a groundbreaking case trying to determine if you can copyright the image of a fish. His claim wasn’t as crazy as people try to make it seem.
