This analysis concludes with a decisive 72-28 victory for Darth Vader in any direct confrontation between these iconic villains. The power differential proves insurmountable: the Joker, despite his formidable psychological capabilities, possesses no defence against Force telekinesis and no attack capable of penetrating Vader's armoured suit.

The Joker secures victories in strategic intelligence and unpredictability, metrics where his psychological warfare expertise and chaotic methodology represent genuine advantages. In a scenario involving extended preparation, the Clown Prince of Crime might theoretically devise schemes exploiting Vader's emotional vulnerabilities regarding his past. However, such scenarios assume survival of initial contact, an assumption the evidence does not support.

Darth Vader would terminate the Joker within seconds of engagement, either through Force Choke from beyond melee range or lightsaber bisection upon approach. The Joker's complete lack of Force sensitivity means he cannot sense Vader's intentions, resist telekinetic assault, or anticipate Force-enhanced attacks. His unpredictability becomes irrelevant when the opposing response to all behaviour is immediate lethal force. The Dark Lord of the Sith prevails through overwhelming supernatural power against which no amount of cunning provides adequate defence.
