"Bob....remember you are my number one....GUY."
―The Joker[src]

Bob the Goon was The Joker's friend and top henchman, until he was shot by The Joker himself.

History

During Jack Napier's career in the mob, his most loyal henchman and friend was Bob, who defended and protected Jack wherever he went. He manages to threaten Batman off of Jack in the Chemical Plant with a hostage at gunpoint, then escapes calling for Jack to follow.

Even after the incident that disfigured Napier and shattered his sanity, Bob still remained a steadfast henchman to the newly-dubbed 'Joker', doing many chores for him, whether official for the crime empire or personal, such as spying on Vicki Vale, who was a love interest of the Joker.

Bob met his end after Batman ruined the Joker's scheme. Joker, looking for someone to take his anger out on, found only Bob. He asked Bob for his gun, and he immediately obeyed, only to be shot by Joker.

"I'm gonna need a minute alone" said the Joker after releasing his anger.

Behind the scenes

  • In Batman's script, Bob is identified as Robert Hawkins. It can't be verified if this name was carried over for Bob's canon film identity, but it's not out of the question, as Becky Narita is also not identified with a last name in the film.
