| “ | You are a vicious b*tard, Rotelli, and I'm glad you're dead! | „ |
| ~ Joker |
Antoine Rotelli is a supporting antagonist in the 1989 Batman film. He was an Italian crime lord in Gotham. After the Joker murdered Carl Grissom and took over his empire, he called the other crime lords for a meeting. Rotelli was suspicious of the Joker because of his funny grin and did not want to take orders from the Joker.
As a result, the Joker offered to shake Rotelli's hand and that would have been it. He was killed by the Joker, after being electrocuted by The Joker's joy buzzer, which sent 40,000 volts through him, and burned the skin off his face, revealing Rotelli's skull, with the Joker cracking jokes and laughing at his demise both during and after his death, causing the rest of the mob bosses to refer to him as crazy. Going by what Joker stated after killing Rotelli, Rotelli was apparently a very ruthless person.
