Belltower Joker Goon

8-Ball (African American Joker Goon) was one of ten Goons working for The Joker in the 1989 film, Batman. He was rarely seen in public working alongside his cohorts. He appeared to be the strongest of The Joker's henchmen, as he was able to physically overpower Batman and managed to give him a severe beating.

Biography
When Batman took pursuit of The Joker in Gotham Cathedral, 8-Ball was waiting in the tower to protect his boss.

He entered a brawl with Batman, catching the Dark Knight off guard with a sneak attack, throwing him through a wooden wall, and employing a steel ball and rope to lash him, though Batman was able to swiftly dodge 8-Ball's attacks. After Batman had seemingly vanished, 8-Ball began searching for him around the bell tower. He soon discovered that Batman was on top of the bell. Batman jumped to attack him but 8-Ball caught him in mid-air and proceeded to throw him into a set of stairs. He then launched a vicious assault on Batman, culminating in 8-Ball kicking him down a hole below the bell. 8-Ball inspected to see if he had fallen down the chasm. Batman surprised him, however, by swinging his legs out and clenching them around 8-Ball's head. Batman pulled 8-Ball headfirst into the bell, disorienting him, and let him fall down a chasm several stories to his death.
