> I think The Joker FEARS Superman, but doesn't respect him. He thought enough in the story you mention to prepare a van covered with lead, but didn't realize lead would do nothing to muffle The Joker's own laughter. Joker also set a trap for Superman with a nuclear bomb (it MAY have been "merely" atomic), that would have left a huge crater in Gotham.

Didn't Joker "give" as a gift to the rebooted John Bryne Supes a briefcase, that was full of a 40 MEGATON H Bomb?
Remember Supes had to fly off into Space and took the full force point blank to his body, with a crash landing causing a crator... It stunned him, the H Bomb and crashing back on Earth, but his only noticable weakness was that he could not fly back to Metropolis, too weak, but had to run?
Wasn't that H Bomb courtesy of the Joker?
