Health Ledger: A long shot of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker in the back seat of a police car echoes the shot of Heath Ledger’s Joker popping out of the rear window of a police car. They’re on opposite windows, and Phoenix is inside, not outside, but both moments come during times of chaos in Gotham, and both Joker drink in the chaos with a delight that mocks their apparent confinement.

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.
