The hilarious memes

Like it happens for most of the buzzing movies on the internet, memes started rolling in and the internet is losing it over one particular scene. The scene shows the Joker riding a car in a back seat (a taxi). This very scene is compared with an earlier scene in the movie Dark Knight (2008) where the Joker was played by Heath Ledger. The two are so similar that one user on Twitter pointed it out with a collage of the two scenes. He captioned the image: "for those who didn’t catch the reference". Since then netizens have been posting loads of image of themselves or of other characters riding a taxi and looking outside the car window which is collaged with the scene from Joker. 

A user used the image of a funny-looking woman riding in the back seat. Another posted her own image while riding the car. A third user posted an image of actor Danny DeVito riding the car. Similarly, a fourth posted the image from Pig in the Big City.
