Sure, Mr. Bucket is helping an insane criminal mastermind produce deadly chemicals, but he's at least earning a wage for the family.

That's still better than just laying in bed all day like Grandpa Joe.

I watched the Lego Batman Movie the other day, and Harley Quinn was wearing a Smylex shirt. Actually makes sense too, because supposedly in that universe all of the events of the Batman movies have happened, so Lego Joker also created the Smylex gas.
