The Joker is easily one of the most recognizable characters in comic book history. His elongated smile, his stark-white skin, and his often slicked back green hair are all identifying characteristics of the Clown Prince of Crime. But how did he come to be designed in such a peculiar way, especially in a time when there were little to no supervillai...
Batman made his debut in Detective Comics #27 in 1939; however, due to overwhelming popularity, The Dark Knight received his own title series in April 1940, co-starring the Boy Wonder, Robin. The first issue, Batman #1, made a number of introductions into the Batman lore, including Catwoman (then known as The Cat) and Joker, two characters who've g...
The Joker's origin is the biggest mystery in all of comic books, having never been given a full, definitive origin story. However, that is not to say some writers haven't tried their hand at it. Batman fans widely accept Alan Moore's acclaimed graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joketo feature the Joker's likely origin story. In the novel, we are giv...
The Joker is known for many things, but his unique visual features are unquestionably his red lips, his green hair, and his stark white skin, all of which he acquired as a result of diving into a basin of chemicals at the Ace Chemical Plant in Gotham City attempting to evade Batman. While those three things are The Joker's unique characteristics, w...
As previously mentioned, The Joker made his debut in Batman #1in April 1940, an issue in which he killed several people utilizing his trademark Joker venom, a toxin that not only kills its victims but also leaves them with a lasting smile, echoing The Joker's own smile. Despite stabbing himself in the chest at the end of the issue, The Joker surviv...
The Silver Age of Comics marked a fundamental transformation for The Joker, due to the Comics Code of Authority disproving of further extreme violence - which they believed was the root of juvenile delinquency (a notion that has plagued the video game industry in recent years). With this change, a new Jester was born, one that became wackier and mo...
Following a short hiatus in the late 60s/early 70s, writer Dennis O'Neil and artist Neal Adams revived The Joker during the Bronze Age of Comics, taking the iconic supervillain back to his origins as a homicidal lunatic. As a murderous villain, the Joker's insanity ultimately drove him to be found legally insane and was then committed to Arkham Asy...
The effects of DC Comics' massive crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths ushered in a new era of comics, the Modern Age (colloquially referred to as the Dark Age). With this new age came a revised take on Batman, which trickled down to The Joker. It is during the Modern Age of Comics that some of the character's defining stories were written (in...
The Joker has obviously made a lasting impression on the Dark Knight himself, someone he has failed in killing, but the Clown Prince of Crime has also made a drastic impact on the Batman pantheon. In the late 80s, DC Comics fans had grown tired of Jason Todd and wanted to see the character revamped. However, instead of modifying him, the publisher ...
Although the Joker tends to work alongside other members of Batman's rogues gallery, such as Scarecrow, Penguin, and Two-Face, there are only two characters who are part of a so-called Joker family: Harley Quinn and Joker's Daughter. Harley Quinn (real name Dr. Harleen Quinzel) famously appeared in the 1992 Batman: The Animated Series before making...
