Joker of
1. Heath Ledger - The Dark Knight (2008)
Cesar Romero / The Batman Series (1966)
The original Joker, Cesar Romero, was known for his acting and singing skills well before playing the iconic character in the first of the caped vigilante films, Batman: The Movie (1966).
The Joker has been portrayed by Cesar Romero in the 1966–1968 Batman television series and the 1966 Batman film; Jack Nicholson in the 1989 film Batman; Heath Ledger in the 2008 film The Dark Knight; Jared Leto in the 2016 film Suicide Squad and the 2021 director's cut Zack Snyder's Justice League; Cameron Monaghan in ...
Harley might be between 25–30 years old, and Joker might be 40–50 years old. In reality, Harley Quinn has been around for 27 years since her debut in the 90s Batman animated series, while the Joker has been around for 80 years since his debut in the comics.
In Injustice: Gods Among Us, Harley Quinn reveals she gave birth to Joker's daughter, but gave her up for adoption rather than subject her to a life with Joker as a father. Similarly, Harley becomes a mother to twin children in the Batman: White Knight universe, though with happier results.
Lucy Quinzel is the daughter of the Joker and Harley Quinn and the niece of Delia Quinzel.
Following her introduction to the DC Universe in 1999, Harley Quinn was depicted as the sidekick and lover of the Joker as well as the criminal associate and best friend of fellow supervillain Poison Ivy.
One of the biggest secrets in the world of DC Comics has been revealed as one of its most iconic characters, an enigmatic villain, gets an official name. In the latest issue of Flashpoint Beyond #5, the Joker's real name has been revealed: Jack Oswald White.
The psychopathology Arthur exhibits is unclear, preventing diagnosis of psychotic disorder or schizophrenia; the unusual combination of symptoms suggests a complex mix of features of certain personality traits, namely psychopathy and narcissism (he meets DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder).
Number one on the list is a version of The Joker that melded with Bruce Wayne to become a nightmarish creature far worse than the original. The Batman Who Laughs came from the Dark Multiverse and came into being after he was poisoned with Joker venom.
Actor Heath Ledger's death due to an accidental overdose forever cast a shadow on the film The Dark Knight, in which Ledger played the Joker opposite Christian Bale's Batman. Rumours at the time suggested that playing the iconic villain had affected the actor. Heath Ledger in a still from The Dark Knight.
Comic book characters have a long and storied history of dying and coming back to life, but fans might be surprised to know that Joker, Batman's most iconic foe for nearly a century, dies in the Caped Crusader's very first book, Batman #1. And he goes out in an embarrassingly anticlimactic fashion.
Deathstroke is simply a far more formidable threat than the Joker. The Gotham criminal is certainly capable in a fight, but not in comparison to a trained assassin like Slade Wilson.
His signature cackle paired with batshit crazy, chaotic and sinister plans add to his universal appeal. Perhaps more than any other reason, what makes him so admired by fans is the fact that the Joker wasn't inherently bad, to begin with (at least in certain renditions of his backstory).
One of the most notable times Superman beat Joker was in the Injustice comics when Superman punched through the Joker after the villain forced Superman to kill Lois Lane. While it's not something the main universe Superman would do, it's still a memorable visual and a definitive defeat for the Clown.
Each of the three "Jokers" represent the three eras in DC comics "The Criminal" represents the Golden Age "The Clown" represents the Silver Age and "The Comedian" represents the Bronze/Modern Age.
Joker IQ is estimated to be around 160 IQ, which is not really surprising. Meanwhile Batman's IQ is around 192. The Joker is, in fact, more twisted than intelligent. Joker has chosen to use his intelligence in a different way than his archenemy Batman, who uses it to strengthen his arsenal and improve Gotham.
There are usually two Jokers per deck, often noticeably different. For instance, the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC) prints their company's guarantee claim on only one. At times, the Jokers will each be colored to match the colors used for suits; e.g., there will be a red Joker and a black Joker.
The Joker does not reciprocate her love and is in fact incapable of romantic emotion as he sees people only as tools to further his own plans. Harley is in denial of this fact and prefers to view him as an antihero until she eventually has to come face-to-face with his complete disregard for her.
Jeremiah Valeska is a major antagonist in the television series, Gotham. He is the twin brother of the terrorist cult leader, Jerome Valeska, as well as being the arch-nemesis of Bruce Wayne. Jeremiah is the show's equivalent to the Joker, taking over from Jerome, although both of them never took on the Joker alias.
A female version of the Joker appeared as part of DC's Tangent Comics line in her own one-shots (Tangent Comics: The Joker #1 in 1997 and Tangent Comics: The Joker's Wild! #1 in 1998). This Joker bore little resemblance to the traditional interpretation of the character and instead was modeled on Duela Dent.
Believe it or not, this tale saw the Clown Prince of Crime himself become pregnant and give birth to a child. The mother of the child? That was none other than DC's famous magical hero Zatanna, who cast a spell on the Joker after he tried to persuade her to start a family with him.
One of the mysteries in director Todd Phillips' Joker is whether Arthur Fleck really is the son of Thomas Wayne as his mother Penny Fleck claimed. Both Wayne himself and Arthur Pennyworth said it was untrue and that Penny was delusional, hence her eventual stay in Arkham Asylum.
