 The
Character
Described as a "monster" and "psychopath" by the
aging Bruce Wayne, the original Joker was a sadistic clown who delighted
in tormenting the first Batman and his allies. A one time nameless
underworld gun for hire, the man who would become the Joker once
fought Batman during a botched robbery at a chemical plant and fell
into a vat of acid and chemicals… The accident scarred both the
criminal's face and mind. Now calling himself the Joker, the madman
embarked upon a campaign to make very citizen of Gotham a victim
of his lethal antics.
Joker's determination to wreck havoc on to the city
continues into the time of Batman Beyond, as the clown has apparently
returned, alive, unchanged and, in his own words, "Ready to give
this old town a wedgie again!"
Parallels
and Thoughts
The Joker is the greatest villain that ever stalked
Gotham city. Bob Kane drew inspiration for this character from the
silent German classic 'The Man Who Laughs'. While the appearance
of the Joker in the future was shrouded in mystery it remains to
be seen what the role the character and The Jokerz continue to play.
