I haven't seen the video for it, though -- he got really lucky and managed to "glitch" the last 6 seconds of the game. If Joker's kill animation begins the exact moment that one of his lightning bolts hits the ground, it'll skip the portion where he struggles to get up and fails, and just jump straight to the end credits, saving a lot of time.

So, I doubt I'll ever be able to beat that time. And really, I would be shocked if anyone can beat that time, 'cept for maybe getting a time of 10:10. This game is pretty much optimized to maximum performance by a human being, although there are a couple of TAS speedruns that are under the 10 minute mark.
Ah that's a damn shame then. Still super impressive, regardless of glitched world records.
