I’ll need someone else test this, but it appears that the 3rd effect (increasing the time before am opponent tags out) seems to trigger whenever the Joker uses a special. When the Joker uses a special, a purple circle appears around his feet and it says “trapped” on the screen.

If this is true, it would make DOT incredibly powerful for any Joker Character. Most DOTs would be able to almost completely run their course in the 8 seconds it ads, and as long as you can use a special 1 every 8 seconds, the opponent would potentially NEVER be able to tag out.

Many Joker characters already have DOT on their specials (especially Arkham Origins Joker and Lord Joker), and it is quite easy to give your other Joker DOT through gear (ei. Ibistick, Astro Harness, Heart of Darkness etc.).

This would also be a powerful weapon for you online defense team. Most opponents would normally tag out a character if they have been hit by a powerful DOT, but this would prevent them from doing that. This could make your defense quite a pain to fight.

As I said before, this may be a issue in my game, or a misperception on my end, but I am almost certain this is true. It would probably be worthwhile for someone else to test this so this theory can be confirmed or denied.
