The only terrifying villain ever to even mention balloons is Pennywise.

I just don't understand why everyone is overlooking the makers of the show saying they will be teasing multiple jokers all season ending with a finale with the Joker 🃏 being revealed. And I'm guessing the "BALLOON-MAN" will be a suspect Joker 🃏 because everyone is forgetting Joker Balloons are a main thing in Arkyum Games and DCOnlineUniverse. JOKER IS THE ONLY BATMAN VILLAIN TO USE BALLOONS

On paper, this sounds like an Adam West Batman episode.

"Hold on, Robin. Balloonman is using weather balloons to kill his victims. Weather balloons... "Whether balloons"? Is he posing an existential question of whether balloons are the answer to Gotham's ills?"

"To the Gotham University Philosophy Department!"
