The Pole (Be warned that what follows contains a spoiler about whether Batman is referenced in the movie): When we meet young master Bruce Wayne, he’s sliding down a pole on a playground at Wayne Manor. It’s easy to take this as a cute allusion to the Batpole featured in the 1966 Batman TV series. If so, it’s one of the few things in Joker intended to charm rather than unnerve.

You forgot to include "Conquest for the Planet of the Apes" from 1972. The end riot scene, with Joker being pulled form the back of the crushed police car, laid out on the hood of another vehicle and then rising to his feet as the night sky burns with flames and the crowd's anger, recalls the last 15 minutes of "Conquest for the Planet of the Apes" without question.
