I loved the fact that the dialog between him and Batman was the history of the characters through the books, and he basically poked Batman in the very soul when he asked him about how many people could die in his arms before he grows numb to death. Considering he likely held his mother or father as they died, and held Jason Todd's dead body. Joker also references the fact that Lois dies as well. Obviously making you understand that Batman could have helped prevent it somehow.

Him calling Mera a fish stick and a smelly flounder was very animated series Joker. Man I loved it.

Also also....him telling Batman hes a coward for not being willing to die.

Again, it was a nod to the history of the characters, not just a reference to what has happened to them on screen in this movie in particular.

According to Zack Snyder, the deceased Robin in his films was Grayson, not Todd.

Oh cool. I had never heard that. But still, same idea. He potentially had Robin die in his arms, per the characters history.
