The Best Joker Episode | Joker's Favor | Batman The Animated Series This is a good video essay about the B:tAS episode that is essentially Kaleb Cross’ backstory in Pathfinder’s Quest. ‘Joker’s Favor’ in Summary:
Instead of Bob, it's 'Charlie' and he cuts the Joker off on the freeway, the Joker chases him down and gives him a talking to and tells him he's going to ask for a favor someday. Charlie takes his wife and kids and skips town, and the Joker finds them and asks for his favor. Charlie does it, finds out Joker was going to leave him to get bombed, Charlie chases Joker down with the bomb to take them both out in revenge. Joker calls for help from Batman, who saves them both.
It’s a very toned down version of what Kaleb does to Bob and his family (since Batman was essentially noir for kids), but the same format.
