The "Joker clapping" meme originates from a scene in the 2008 film "The Dark Knight." In this iconic moment, the Joker, played masterfully by Heath Ledger, is seated in a police precinct behind bars. As chaos unfolds around him, with applause and celebration among the officers, the Joker slowly begins to clap, his expression filled with sarcastic satisfaction. This scene has transcended its cinematic origin to become a staple in meme culture, capturing the essence of someone unbothered and slightly amused by the disorder they have orchestrated.
