[Batman/A Clockwork Orange] Would the Ludovico Technique work on the Joker?

It couldn't actually make him moral in any sense of the word, any more than it did with Alex DeLarge, but could it render him harmless as it did with Alex?

Probably not.

The Joker is a whole different tier of scum than Alex. Alex is chiefly a product of bad environment and misguided juvenile impulses, and as the book's closing reveals there really isn't much wrong with him that can't be solved with time and effort; he was never unsalvageable. He was vulnerable to the Ludovico Technique because *he was sane enough to be programmed*. 

Joker, meanwhile, is well and truly fucked in the head. The most generous possible interpretation is that he's "sane" in the sense of not having any unsolvable mental issue, but capable of living 'in character' as a crazy person so well that an entire legal and mental health system is convinced that he's bugnuts. Alternately, he really is insane in novel and extreme ways. Either way, it's unlikely Ludovico would get much traction; in the former case he'd play along much like Alex was originally planning to do, and then use his criminal resources to "deprogram" himself, and in the latter he just wouldn't be much affected by the nausea induction in the first place (but might pretend he is as part of some con).
