Here's a link to the main page ofyours truly!A-F|G-N|O-YGender Flip:Thrillkillermade me one Bianca Steeplechase, whileFlashpointturned me intool' Batsy'smother!Or, rather, wife, given it's Brucey who died there, not his parents, and his dad who became Batman.Over in thatTangent place, I'mLori Lemaris, Madame XanaduandMary Marvel. Simultaneously.Genius Bruiser: Some versions of me have not only been smart enough to give Batsy fits, but also keep up with him in a straight-up fight.Monkey-Mewas especially notable for my martial arts fights with Batboob.Bruce Lee, eat your heart out!The Gimmick: CompareSilver Ageme withThe Dark Knightme, and you'll see how far I can go while still staying in the same gimmick.Glasgow Grin: Sometimes I opt to carve my trademark cheerful smile right into my face! Assuming, that is, it wasn't done for me;I can't quite remember anymore. If I don't have any of my happy gas on hand, maybe I'll give one to my victims as well!Even with just my bloodI can draw a good lookin' grin!Go-Karting with Bowser:What, you don't like surfing?Andturtle guywishes he was the current image for this page.noteBowser: Don't test your luck, clownface! I don't see you onTHISpicture, do I?!Gonk:Why, whatever are you talking about, kiddies?Sure,your ol' Uncle J.might be a little...spooky-lookin', but can't he beconsidered handsomeina sort of unconventional way?...ALRIGHT, FINE!YOU WIN! HAPPY?Admittedly, my looks do tend tovary somewhat, but you know what? At least I'mstillmorehandsome-ythan Bat-Brain! Seriously, how ugly do you have to be to want to hide your face at all times? (Now, if I could just get my mitts on Sam Kieth...)Good Counterpart:Ol' Creepsborrows a lot from me. I suppose it would be flattering if he weren't socrazy.I apparently had onecalled the Jester on Earth-3. He's done for now, but he managed to take his versions ofGreenyandBirdbrainwith him!Good Scars, Evil Scars:The version of me played by Heath Ledger has a nice happyGlasgow Grin, instead of my usual permanent smile. Wanna know how I got them?Jacky Nicholson's version of me did it first; a gunshot through both cheeks, a nice dip in my usual chemical bath, some amateur plastic surgery, and voila!Greater-Scope Villain: This is my role inBirds Of Prey. While I only appear in a few crummy flashback sequences in the pilot and I am said to be currently locked away far from New Gotham, I am in a way indirectly responsible for the conflict because I was the one who crippled Barbara and hired someone to kill Helena's mother. There's also the fact that Harley planned to fill in the void I left when I was brought to justice by attempting to become the city's new greatest criminal mastermind.Griefer: You tropers have describedReal LifeinVideo Gameterms, so I guess that means I can describe myself as the greatestGrieferwho ever lived!Groin Attack: It may not be as fatal as a stab or gunshot, but it works, doesn't it?EvenAquamanknows I can deliver a good kick in the pearlswhen given the chance.◊Heck, one timeBat-Fake McGinnisdid this by fighting dirty with a knee to my... let's just say... manhood. And not just once,but twice!!! THATreally hurt!Guest Fighter: I paid a visit inMortal Kombat 11, where good oldRichievoices me with my trusty cane! It was so much fun! The blood!! The guts!! The mayhem!!!Outworld'smy kinda place, all right. It was a much more fun experience thanthe last time I stopped by. Those squeamish little meddlers at the ESRBwouldn't let me cut loose and carve some smiles that time! But I showed them...ol' Shangyusedmy Fatalityin all its uncensored, gory magnificence inhis next turn 'round the block!Hannibal Lecture: They named this gag afterHannibal?! I appreciate a good bit of wordplay as much as the next homicidal maniac, but the old purple people eater has nothing on me! I don't recall Clarice Starling everdressing up like a clown and busting him out of jail(which would make him the lucky one...).Happily Married: Wouldn't you know it? I finally tied the knot with dear ol' Harl' in the prequel comic toBatman: Arkham City! In anUnholy Matrimonysort of way, of course.Unfortunately, our marriage was fated not to last for over six months in the game itself thanks to the deadly Titan diseasethat I had inflicted upon myself. Well, you know what they say: "Till death do us part."Happy Dance: What, ya don't likePrince?That man had a great taste inpurple.Happy Fun Ball: That Toyman shmuck ain't gotnothingon yours truly!Harmless Villain:Not always, heh! Well, sometimes.But backthen, I definitely was. I remember the days...out-surfin' Batsy and pullin' crazy pranks...butFrankie-boyfound out I liked murder a lot more...And hell, I can even get harmless-less:the place you go when you become so wouldn't-hurt-a-fly that you end up giving themeven deeperpsychological scars! I once hijacked some crummy television show to give it,y'know, a reason to watch it, and this no-name manager thought thatonce people start to die,the ratings would blast sky-high! But once the curtains closed, not one chum had a bruise and Batsy took me away like usual...then, I whipped out the plot twist! I was filming their control room, and I slammed down a huge bell-ringer for the crowd!Me: So, who's the real sicko, America? Me, for carrying out this little prank? The producers and executives at the network, who let it all happen — or is it you people, who mindlessly watched it all on your television sets?Hates Being Touched: My old boss,Salvatore Valestria, found this out the hard way.Hated by All: Everyone's a critic! Apart from my darling Harl', it's like the whole world has a reason to come gunning after me! There's mycharming personality,everything I've done to screw with Batsy, or maybe, just maybe, they find their favorite clown around town to be a bit...scary.But at the end of the day,everybody's out to get me and I feel alright!Haaah-ha-ha-ha!!In fact that's how I get myself in theLegion of Doom- snub me out, and I start spilling blood on every street corner, all of it being ontheirshoulders! What a way to acquit yourself from all charges, eh? Tricksy here gives a frankly flattering summary:Trickster: Great going, Neron, bring in theoneguy no one wants to be in the same room with. When super-villains want to scare each other, they tell Joker stories.noteWonder if Bane's the one usually tellin' those tales...Oh! And I don't know if ya heard, but I may have...BLOWN UP METROPOLIS INTO SMITHEREENS!AAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!Turns out the whole crowd had nothin' but boos and jeers for that one. EvenBatsy'ssick and tired of my schtick when it's all said and done! Comeon, you lot!Clearly I'd never do such a horrible, terrible thing!noteUnless it's Black Friday. It just gets noisy sometimes, y'know?! But hey, look at the bright side - still got the occasional trampling to look forward to!I figuredthe karate guys that like mutilating each other dailywould have more appreciation for my brand of humor, so I paid a visit to Outworld! Turns out they're even bigger party-poopers than Bats and his crew! Not even ol' helmet-for-brains Shao Can't or the cyclops arms dealer think I'm funny! Comedy is dead in this day and age, I'll tell you what... At leastI don't have the moral guardians holding me back during that little outing!Hate Sink: While I admit I'm not a nice guy, I usually make up for it with mytheatrical flair and sense of showmanship. Though some versions of me do fit this description to a "T":The version of me who duped Stupidman into killing his family and blowing up Metropolis counts. Basically every bad thing that happens throughout that universe after his death is all onhimthanks topushingStupes to a differentview on life. Even the other villains from that universe such as Grodd, Brainiac, and even Darkseid hate his guts. Hell,evenHarleyherself wanted to do nothing with him eventually, but she didn't necessarily had to join Fatman and his crew.The version of me fromHarley's showalso counts, or counted, as the case may be before the second season. While he does retain my usual schtick of wanton murder,his treatment of Harleytakes up more focus than usual. Not helping the guy is hisviews regarding women in comedy is also a bit more backwards. Now before I finish this, I want to make it clear that, contrary to that version of meused by gamers, I do not hate women more than I hate men.I hate them both the same amount!That version of meplayed by thatstretchy dog and beer-chugging robotisn't nearly as exaggerated in his schemes as some others, and therefore comes off mostly as despicable instead of impressive.While I skirted by on sheer comedy for most ofBatman: The Animated Series, I had gotten here inBatman Beyond: Return of the Jokerdue to my wonderfully despicable actionagainst a certain boy blunder involving a lot of tortureto the point thatthat goody two-shoes farm boywas uncomfortable reprising his role.Have a Gay Old Time:Laugh at MY boner, will you?!Healing Factor:Batman: Endgamerevealed I had this power. It does explain why I have my handsome face again.The Heckler: Let me be clear, Batsie, whatever other faults he has, is a wonderfulStraight Manand my act would not be the same without him. I consider myself a professionalstand-up comedianand so, even when I should be prepared for them, I cannot stand them. Amateurs likeCharlie Collinsorthat lunatic, the aptly named Creeper, believe they can steal my act unpunished — and they prove themselves right. I hate them. And please, don't make me talk about thatpunk McGinnis.The Hero DiessoThe Bad Guy WinsAnd Then What?Bored with Insanity!: Those tropes are the plot ofGoing Sane: when I thought Batman was dead, I decided to go on with my life. Could Batsy ever have the guts to renounce being a hero and do that? I'm mad, not stupid.Hero with an F in Good:One version of meactually tried to become a hero, and help Batsy take down the baddies! Maybe. It depended on how nicely he treated me in our interactions together. Sadly, our fleeting partnership didn't work out in the end, thanks to that stupid "no killing" rule he wanted me to follow. I mean, honestly, what was he expecting? If we ever team up again, I'm imposing a "no brooding" rule, just to see howhelikes not being allowed to do what he's good at!He's Back!: After a year-long absence,I finally brought my happy smile back to Gothamto the horror of everyone in it.I hope Gordon appreciated the dead police officers I left him.Hidden Depths: In the first issue of my tragically short-lived series in the 70's, I tell the guards how irritated I am that the thugs broke Two-Face out of Arkham because they thought he was a better criminal than I. (Preposterous!) The guards ask if I'm going to cry, and I respond with "That would begrotesque—tears trickling down..." They don't get it, so I explain "I was quoting Rostand'sCyrano de Bergerac, illiterate imbecile!"High-Voltage Death: Part of my plot to exploit myJoker Immunityvia electric chair in exchange for my freedom from being arrested in one storyline ("The Joker Walks the Last Mile"). And I even did the same electric chair thing to Batsy as one of theDeath TrapsinThe Brave and the Bold's take onEmperor Joker.Heck, some say I even died like this in the censored version ofBatman Beyond: Return of the Joker, though many objected that it was much,MUCHworse than getting shot at by that Bird-Brain in the uncensored version! Ow.I SERIOUSLY have got to stop playing with that gag during more dangerously-wet situations....Hoist by His Own Petard:My exploding marbles would have been my endif not formy immunity. AndCharlie tried to kill me with one of my own bombs. Oh, the shame of being killed by a nobody instead of dying during a fight with ol' Batsy. And to think I fell for a bluff.Hollywood Acid: Have a little whiff of my posy. Flowery pun, I know, but...Hollywood Psych: According tothe good doctorsin Arkham, I'm not Insane, oh nonono. I am Super Sane! It's likeTourette'sbutmass murdery! Another one of dear Harley'sbright ideas— fortunately, I managed to get to her just in time, because lunacy like that needs a wider audience.Homoerotic Subtext: It was kinda obvious in theBatman: Arkham Seriesthat I had this subtext for Batsy, albeit wholly one-sided. A lot of these—for example, my monologue to Harley (Harleen, at the time) about how I met someone special who had given my life meaning (though my romantic subtext accidentally seduced her into thinking it was about her), and my rendition of"Cold, Cold Heart"inArkham Origins; so many of my voicemails on Bats' cellphone, and other subtextin thePost-Climax Confrontationfrom the Clayface-MeinArkham City—have made me act as ifI'm kinda gay for the Bat-Freak! Rocksteady and WB Montreal have been listening to way too many interviews withGrant Morrisonlately. I'm defending myself, so let me tell you clearly thatI'm not gay!Oh nonononono!Au contraire, the Bat and I areHeterosexual Life-Partnersthrough and through,even 'til my death inArkham City.Understaaaaand?ThoughI do have this burning desire to do away withthat protean Queen Whatevra-Her-Name-Is.Horrifying the Horror:The Trickstersaid it best:"When super-villains want to scare each other, they tell Joker stories"◊.And just to clarify some points about myBatman: The Animated Seriesincarnation...remember how I was seen afraid of Charlie Collins after the reveal about the bomb being a dud?Well,I am not afraid of him!And remember that annoying guy, the Creeper?I am not afraid of him either!And Harley being a Yandere and exclaiming "Welcome to the club"?Well, I didn't fear her either.Andlittle Acey? Well...maybe just a bit. But aside from that, have you forgotten who I am?I AM NOT AFRAID OF THOSE LOSERS!I am crazy enough to take on Batman! ... butthe IRS? Well, maybe I gave you this one...I have to admit, I don't like that Batman Who Laughs at all. There's a reason his world was part of the omniversal compost pile. Let's get rid of him permanently for the sake of both Earth-1 andthe readers' enjoyment, shall we?SomeAnarkywannabe posteda comicof me andthat stupid sewer-dwellerbeing horrified byRonald McDonald. It's only funny because youknowhe thought he was saying something profound. Ron doesn't make you eat the burgers, kid. Though that does give me an idea for a crime...Horror Host: DC gave me a whole two series ofJoker's Asylumto get myAlfred Hitchcockon! Although they PROMISED me the woolly slippers would be kept out of shot...Hostile Show Take Over: Afterteaming up with Bat Guano, joining the races, and killing him repeatedly with my 5th dimensional powers, this was only the next step. Evenblew upKamandi'searthinThe Teaser!Hoist by His Own Petard: Maybe I should've checked whether or not my attempt to force Batman into his greatest boner was foolproof enough to not wind up becomingOut-Gambitted. For starters, I should've sent Bats and his sidekick into the Atlantic via plane, and not England like I wound up doing. But I certainly didn't count on Bats tracking the signal to my hideout!How the Character Stole Christmas: During that grand year,The Long Halloween. While quoting good ol'Doc Seuss, no less!Humiliation Conga: Less-Than-A-Pennyworthonceoutfenced me and trapped me on a pole-elevator of some sort, zipping up and down, up and down, for five minutes. Never did quite see what the pole was for...Humanoid Abomination: One theory Scott Snyder throws out there.Humans Are Bastards: Oh, we certainly are. People tend to claim thatI'm the best in that category◊, but I've long held the belief that all it takes is one bad day to make anyone just as crazy as I am.Humongous Mecha: Seeing that everyone else was doing it inBatman Ninja, I thought I should join in the fun as well! After all, the bigger the potential audience,noteYes, both the people scrambling to safety as I'm stomping across the countryside as well as the ingrates on the other side of the screen who don't give two hoots about my exploits if you can't spend hundreds of bucks to add the damned thing to your toy collection...the better the comedian!Or so it seemed, seems like that orangutan managed to somehow give me and my partners in crime a hypnotic suggestion of some sort to make us all build our fancy battle-bots that would come together into aCombining Mecha. Too bad for him that they don't show Saturday morning cartoons in the zoo, because he forgot one crucial detail:someone ALWAYS needs to form the head, and since nobody else stepped up to the task, I decided to make that into a small side project of mine, along with the local variant of my lovely toxin to cook up some hypnosis of my own in order to prevent any future arguments on who gets to sit behind the wheel...or what passed for a wheel in this contraption either way, points for finally making a version of chess interesting! How do you like THEM bananas, Bongo? Sadly, since that's how things usually tend to go, NinjaMinus BaseballFatman decided to fight fire with fire and busted up my lovely ride with a giant army of monkeys that somehow combined together into a giant monkey Batsy.Gotta admit, I didn't see that one coming at all, maybe I should visit Japan more often for some new ideas if they could make ol' aero-rodent and his pals pull off something as delightfully off-the-wall as that.The Hyena: It's always a laugh-a-minute around me, especially when the punchline involves a bomb and abusload of orphans. So many happy memories. I do remember some sort ofamalgamatedversion of me with that name, but who can keep track?Identity Impersonator: A good one too!There wasthis one timewhen I had no knowledge of the Bat as of yet, but when I eavesdropped on this Roman Sionis wearing a black mask and taking control of the cops to capture someone who called himself the Bat, I figured that, hey, maybe I should take over Blackie's business. However, Roman knew he and his girlfriend, Tiffany Ambrose, were being watched, so she went to Lacey Towers to call for help, but I gave her the knockdown and tied her to the chandelier. And then a fake guy posing as Black Mask walked in while the real Black Mask was hiding. However, I saw through the trickery and wouldn't be fooled, so I killed the little impostor, then subdued the real Blackie and forced him toMercy Killhis little bitch in exchange for freedom. But that wasn't enough! No. I knocked him out cold, then captured him, placed a frame-up for the murder on the fat Penguin, then posed as the real Blackie and tried to sound like him,but came off more like a mafia gangster. I could then hire eight assassins and send them out to kill the Bat on Christmas Eve so I could give them a Christmas bonus. However, the Bat-Freak soon found me out, and when he confronted me, I tried pretending I wasn't that clown while bringing out the real Blackie. I guess I should have gagged him with duct tape earlier, because the moment I took off his black mask, Blackie became quite a nasty tattle-tale, ratting me out before I had my fun and forcing me to give up the façade. Papa spank!Another time,over inHarl's book, I convinced aLoony Fanof hers to impersonate me - plastic surgery, acid bath, the whole works - in the hope of winning her over. 'Course, I knew Harl was gonna see right through it soon enough, but that wasn't the point. The point was messing with her for thinking she could get away from me.Idiosyncrazy:Depending on the Writer, my crimes may or may not follow a comedy theme. One of the best things aboutMonkey-Mewas that he was so committed to the whole "clown" theme.If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: Apparently, this is the only reason Bats hasn't put me down. In some cases, I'm activelytrying to get him to, either to show him we aren't so different or as the ultimate revenge. One of these days.... AHAHAHAHH!! Then again, The Batman Who Laughs resulted from Batsy offing me.If You're So Evil, Eat This Kitten!: I often have my men prove just how evil they are. Sometimes against each other.Ignored Expert:When I joined Lexy's partyand caught Batman, I told him to hurry up and shoot the bat right there. But the so called "genius" didn't listen, and look where it got us, Batsy ruined our plan to kill the Justice League and Lexy's plan to kill Supes before he escaped!Ignore the Fanservice: Honestly, I have more important things on my mind than "revving up my Harley", as she calls it.Mostof the time...I Just Want to Be Normal: Oh, there was the time I thought Batman was dead and I became a normal, 9-to-5 guy because there was no Batsy. (Makes me nauseous thinking about it.)Image Song:Princecaptures me very well on "Electric Chair," if I do say so myself.I'm a Humanitarian:What?The Chinese were really tasty. *Burp*Meh, they themselves aren't as good as the food they make anyways.There was also that one time I ate a man's tongue raw and thought I felt several people in my head.Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy:Not me personally, but I'd wagermy animated version's voice actorisn't the onlyStar Warscharacter inBatman: TAS. Would it really surprise you if my goons were themooksin white?Impersonating an Officer: When I tried to kill the mayor, my goons and I used this tactic. Unfortunately, ol' Jimmy saw through it, but at least I gothimas compensation! Excepthe was smart enough to wear a bulletproof vest to his boss's funeral... and captured me the day after, using good ol' Harvey Dent as bait. Guess I should've checked the body first...Impossibly Cool Clothes: Hilarious carnage is simply not the same if you're not wearing a purple tux.Heckuva ordeal to clean, though.Improbable Aiming Skills: My aim should be this good after all these years of using Gotham's people as practice. Need an example? Fine! Remember thatone animated moviethat's criminally underrated? In it, I unload an entire magazine from a Tommy Gun at those singing robots, all of them being headshots which blast off the heads of all 4 robots. The camera reveals me to be the shooter andmy left hand was in my pocket the whole time.Improbable Weapon User: I try not to limit myself.Razor-edgedplaying cards, lethaljoy buzzers,exploding kewpie-dolls...And then there was the time I smackedAndie Beaumontwith asalami. Insert your own joke here, this one's too easy for me.Oh, and thatother timewhere I took on Batsy and hislightsaberwith a rubber chicken. You can call it stupid, I call it comedy.Of course, nothing beats a good old-fashionedcrowbar.Improvised Weapon: You may want to be on your guard if I ask you to pass the remote.Incurable Cough of Death: You ever noticed the coughing fromthe real me at the beginning ofBatman: Arkham City? Well, that's a sure sign that yours truly will soon be dead from Titan poisoning by the end of the game.Lesson learned when you OD on super-steroids, kids.In Love with Your Carnage: But he's sooo magnificent when heloses it... Especially when he loses it on me. Ahh, but dear Bats is in deep denial.Not to mentionthat time whenHarley and me made up after she proved that she was more than willing to pull the trigger on me. That's my girl...Let's be straight here, though. I'm not in love withthatCarnage.Insanity Defense: Let's face it, by all rights I should have gotten the death penalty a long time ago. Although I wonder which would be the best way to go... the electric chair would be an absolutely heavenly sensation, while dying by lethal injection would allow me to leave a beautiful corpse (and I do love the irony)...Insanity Immunity:Put it this way: I once woreThe Maskwithout any ill effects. Can't lose what ya don't got!Crane hates this. Can you believe the buffoon actually tried using his fear gas on me? HAHAHAHA!Want to know just how much of an advantage this can be? In issue 7 of my self-titled comic, after a day whereLexyand Iaccidentally swap our main characteristics(madness and intelligence, respectively) Luthor is in his jail cell, remembering that when he was mad he had thought of "the ultimate theory", an explanation for the universe that he'd need to be crazy to come up with that would have made him world-renowned. Unfortunately, he was unable to remember it when his sanity was restored.Happened to me again when ol' Ra's decided that I'doutlived my usefulnessafter coming up with a new plan to murderize five sixths of the human population (I probably shouldn't have killed so many of his homies. Or made passes at his daughter. Or won versus him at chess. Naaaah.), andpromptly had me shot. Luckily for everyone involved, Bats found my pasty, lifeless body and tossed me into the old boy's Lazarus Pit. Strangely, instead of coming outcrazier, as users of the Pit are wont to do (and what an experience that would have been!), I came out, like you'd say, with every screw perfectly tightened and a conscience in working order. You cannot believe just how heavily that yoke you call sanity pressed on my head on the few hours I had to live with it.Of course,little Acey-pooshowed methat no matterhowwacky you are, there's still new depths to plumb. What a trip that was...Instrument of Murder: I can do things with a violin bow you would not believe...Insult Backfire: People say that I'm a sick, depraved, twisted, evil psychopath. I say "Thank You." Hey, it's not offensive if it's the truth, right?For example, inArkham Asylum:Batsy:Filthy degenerate!Me:Flattery will get you nowhere.OnThe Batman.Me:Medical Report! Stat!Doc:Y-you had a bad accident. You're a very sick man!Me:Flattery won't save you!Batman:The Long HalloweenThe World's Greatest Defective:You're Insane!Me:Has it really taken you this long to notice?One of my oldest cases:Boy Blunder:You're out of your mind, Joker!Me:Gloriously so! Isn't it wonderful?And an even earlier example inThe Joker's Five-Way Revenge(Batman #251). Yeah, Ireallylike this trope.Guanoman:Joker — you realize you're utterly... hopelessly... insane!Me:It's my most charming trait!However, I gave myself an attitude adjustment inThe Dark Knight.The term I was looking for was"just ahead of the curve".Gambol:You're crazy.Me:I'm not... No, I'm not.Aaaand played straight inTim Burton'sBatman:Vinnie:You're crazy.Me:Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?Later:Vicki Vale:You're insane...!Me:(feigning surprise)I thought I was Pisces.And again inThe Batman Adventures:Henchman:You're insane!Me:I know. I've got a certificate and everything.Though it did workone time, but it backfired on him in a different way.Me:Tell your men they work for me now. This is my city.The Chechen:They won't work for a freak.Me:Fuh-reek?Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooches? Hmm? Then we'll see how loyal a hungry dog really is.The novelization made me sound even more commanding to that Chechen fuh-reek's little cronies, and boy, did I sound more menacing there!Me:This ismytown now. Tell your men they work forme.The Chechen:They won't work for a freak.[I throw a knife to one of my men and try not to stab him in the process]Me:Cut him up and offer him to his little princes. Let's show him just how loyal a hungry dog is.I've even pulled this on my dear little Harley in"The Laughing Fish"after I threw a giant rubber fish head costume on her.Harley:You're really sick, y'know that, Boss?Me (blissfully nodding):Mmmm-hmmmm.And it continues intoInjustice 2. I've still got it!Swamp Thing:You sick, unnatural clown!Me:Thank you!Poison Ivy:I'll spit on your grave!Me:It could use a polish!Intercontinuity Crossover:I've evenfaced uptoOl' Chinface, what a death count!It was a real hoot, but Chinface's got evenlessof a sense of humour than the Bat! Jeez, what a grump!And, as noted elsewhere on this page, I metCaptain Americaand teamed-up with theRed Skulluntil I found out Skully wasa wacky Nazi. (They say that's off in itsown little world. Isn't everything?) I also survived a couple of encounters with some jerk calledThe Punisher,got fused withthe furball called Sabretooth, and even metSpideytwice. Sadly, the second time, duringMarvel Versus DC, it wasn't Petey, buthis clone, Benny.While we're on the subject, let's just say Frankie Castle doesn't have the same patience with me as The Bat.Ooh, can't forgetthose crazy kung fu guys,I sure showed them a thing or two.Can't wait to see 'em again! HAHAHA!And as noted in "Insanity Immunity", I once put onThe Mask! Didn't see hide nor hair of ol'Jimbo, but hey, he'd been riding my coattails all through the Nineties, so...Intimidating Revenue Service: I'm crazy enough to take on Batman,but the IRS??Nooo, thank you!It Amused Me: Well,duh.Jetpack: Honestly, Batman can ruin anything if given the chance.Even if you're a regular guy looking to fly◊.Joker Immunity: Theynamed this trope after me. You can't keep a good clown down! (Except when Jack Nicholson plays me, or when Iget so old I could get my own neck broken, or when Ipoison myself with super-steroids.)Does more need to be said?Even that time in the Tooniverse theydid get rid of me, they had to do it twice over just to be sure.One time I tried to subvert my Joker Immunity inBatman: Vengeance,when I jumped off the exploding blimp and was free-falling to my death, for real this time. I even tried preventing the free-falling Bat-Freak from saving my life four times, but on the fourth and last time, he somehow finally succeeded in catching me in time and preventing aNon Standard Game Over. So much for that!Throughout the Arkhamverse,I kept trying to subvert my Joker Immunity again and again inBatman: Arkham Origins, and Batsy kept on saving me! It was not untilArkham Asylumthat I finally succeeded... by OD'ing myself on Titan while the Bat-Freak was too helpless to stop it. Of course, it would take yet another painful year for the Titan poisoning to settle in my bloodstream before taking it over completely, thus fulfilling my death wish (though unexpectedly) at the end ofArkham City. And even then, my public still couldn't get enough of me, so they made a new game aboutmy first run-in with Batsso I could return to the spotlight.Andanothergame wherethe blood I left in Batsy and Scarecrow's fear gas come to life and taunted him ''all'' night long.What fun!Then there wasthat bratwho shot me with my own gun. That wasn't funny. And don't get me started on thatfake Batmanwho said I wasn't funny.Joker Jury: Another one named after little ol' me.Jump Scare:Batsy's dream version of mehad a habit of doing this; if you've seen theNew Game Plusversion of the opening, you'll know what I mean...Kick the Dog: A robot dog at that.Killed Off for Real:Once upon a time,I injected myself withTitan. It should have been just like all the other times I dabbled with toxins, but sadly, it ended with mehaving to go out smiling inMonarch Theatre, or what's underneath it anyways. The lesson is,Drugs Are Bad— but only when they are used on you. Still, what aDowner Ending, huh?Though I'm still kicking everywhere else, as far as the Arkhamverse is concerned I'm done for; they even put my bodyinto the fireinArkham City: Endgame.The version of me that killed Batsy's parents suffered aDisney Villain Death. Ouch!One alternate version of metried to give Superman a bad day.It got him asuperpowered arm through the chest.Sheesh, it's amazing whatnuking Metropolis and tricking a superhero into killing his wife and unborn bratwill do to a guy. Considering what happened after that,one of my greatest triumphs!In one 'verse, the Bat finally managed to kill me for real... after which he went off the end in abigway, working his way up to destroying the multiverse.wistful sighAlways knew he had it in him. ...But again,see my thoughts above.Thenthere's that Magog character, who thoughtSic Semper Criminaliswas the punchline. Crude and unfunny.Over onEarth 2,I got bumped off by Bats without even the chance for a joke. 'Course, that was oldTommyWayne, filling in for his dead son, who'd gone and got himself killed saving the world. Tsk, no style, that man; it's obvious wheremyBatsie got it.And AGAIN inConvergence. Damn Telos. That was no way to end up such an illustrious career.This seems to be the case at the end ofBatman: Endgame.Hah, fat chance!Kill Sat: In mycomeback attempt, I tried to use one of these wonderful toys to mark New Gotham as Joker territory. Unfortunately, Bat-Fake had to ruin the fun.Knight of Cerebus: My role inYoung Justice Abridged. So far I'm the most seriously-portrayed character in the damn show! (Ironically enough)Kryptonite Ring: Sometimes I bump into Superman and have to remind him what dirt tastes like. Honestly, the only thing to be defeated by a rock more than Supes is those unfortunatepair of scissors. Maybe Supes should try carrying around paper.Kubrick Stare: I do enjoy giving folks this look from time to time (especiallythat one time).Lack of Empathy: Oh, it's always aboutyou, isn't it? What about me, huh? I nearly broke my arm swingin' that crowbar around!Lame Pun Reaction:"The Joker's Wild?"Nah, that one wasn't funny.Still, if you think that one was corny, you should see the one at the end of the movie with Jackwhere I died by falling off a building due to a statue pulling my leg!Large Ham: I may be a ham, but I'mgoodat it!The Last Dance: Doc once told me I had cancer. The incurable sort, ya know. Hoped I'd repent, becomeThe Atoner, and undergo a standardHeel–Face Turn. What did Ireallydo?Blaze past allFive Stages of Griefin thirty seconds, destroy the world's most secure prison and poison Earth's atmosphere with a big cloud of the ol' laughing gasina massiveCrisis Crossover. Then it turned out, the doc who made the scan drew the "tumor" on it. Wanted to pull a joke onme. Heh. Good one. Heeeehah. Hoohoo... HAHAAHOOAH... AAHAHAAAHAHAAA!!Latex Perfection: Every once in a while I've felt the need to cover up my ol' rubber face of comedy with a literal rubber face. And I'm good at it, too. I've even fooled Batbrain with this one once or twice.Laughably Evil: Again,duh. I don't supply the trope image just because I'm so handsome, you know.Laughing at Your Own Jokes: I do it all the time, and I expect everyone to join in...or else.Laughing Mad:Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?Laugh with Me!: And you'd better know when to laugh. I hate it when somebody doesn't get the joke!Lean and Mean: Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, folks!noteThere's so many better reasons...Yes, it seemswhenever I'm notsomeboxy-suitedmusclehead,I'm cursed withthe physique of a stringbean.Ooh, I'm not complaining, mind you —I gots me enough vim and vigortogo toe-to-toe with Tall, Dark, and Gruesome any time I please!(Craney-boy, however... nowhe'sgot a problem.)Legacy Character:I get a street gang dedicated to my humble self over inBatman Beyond. And inThe Movie, there's little Joker Junior(Tim Drake).You think Batman's little swarm doesn't do him justice? Wait 'til you get a load of my variousblood brothers, the results of a plan to bathe Gotham in my own blood - not literally, of course, that's more Ivy's thing - but I digress. Point is, none of them could hold a wink of a candle to yours truly - I even had totake over Bat-brain's mind, just so he wouldn't have to hear their atrocious singing!Granted, I probably would have done that anyway...As it turned out,someone started calling himself the Red Hood. At first, all I had to say about that was thathe had horrible taste (in dress sense). When I wore that number it wasclassy, moreflashy maître d'thanmotorcycle fetish. Oh, thesekidstoday. Andthenthe new guy turned out to be Jason Todd! (You know him, he's the Bat-punkI killed that one time.) And he got into a big fight with Bats over whether it was right to kill me after working me over with a crowbar for a while. (Heh, that was a pretty good one.) It was nice to see our old friend all grown up and gone homicidal!Was still a grump, though.*Sigh* There's no teaching some people.Y'know how the Bat's scared that if he finally kills me he'll become like me? That's exactly what happened inone neverborn 'verse, andthatBat went on to try and take downThe Multiverse. What did I think of it?I killed him... yup, me and Batsy actually worked together and I got to kill him. The one thing that poser never counted on was us working together? Heh.Be Careful What You Wish For.Legion of Doom:I REALLY don't likebeing left out when this happens.Leitmotif: Every good comedian with a little self-respect should have a little easy-to-remember introductory tune, suchas this sweet little whimsical melody.Now, good luck getting it off of your mind again!Heh... ahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sweet dreams...Leone d'Oro: In addition to snagging thegolden fella, I am the first and only comic book character (and supervillain) to snag the golden cat from theCity of Canalsthanks toJoaquinandTodd. I would have probably taken the Volpi Cup for Joaquin as well if there weren't any rules in place that kept a film from sweeping the awards.Light Is Not Good: I wear bright clothes, and my skin is bleach-white. Does that make me good?Batmancertainly doesn't think so.The Lost Lenore: Oh, my dear sweet Jeannie. We were going to be so happy together. But then I lost my wife, my unborn child and my sanity all in one day...Or maybe I just made her up. Who can tell?Love Makes You Evil: Maybe. Maybe I did all this because I lost my beloved wife as part of my One Bad Day. Maybe I didn't.Hey, wanna know how I got these scars?Then again, I've lied so much about my past. The way Batman tells it inConfidential, I never had a wife and it was the allure of Bats himself that drove me over the edge.Luxury Prison Suite: Once upon a time, I used to maintain a miniature version of my hide-out beneath my cell in Arkham. Ah, good times.MacGyvering: Did I ever tell you about the time I mixed Joker Venom outta stuff in a janitor's closet at Arkham?Or why they won't let me have a remote for the TV anymore?Moi: Step right up and play everybody's favorite game,"What's the Joker got in the pail?"Maybe a deadly poison, or maybe just something to make the floor nice and slippery.noteFor the record, it was the latter. Never let it be said the fine fellas at Arkham can't dance!Mad Artist: LikeJacky-boysaid inthe movie, I make art until someonedies.Then there was that little incident at the Gotham Art Museum — that Pennyworth stick-in-the-mud put his work in my place, though.Mad Bomber: I'm a man of simple tastes, you know:gunpowder, dynamite, oh, and explosives. I also usedthose funny round onesina video gameonce. What can I say? Using bombs is fun! I would have said it's ablast, but I think that joke wouldablown up in my face.Mad Hatter: Can't blame me for wearing my little neuroses on my sleeve! I do it better than ol' Jervy!Madden Into Misanthropy: It's all a joke. Life is just a cruel joke.Why doesn't anyone else get the joke?!!Mad Love: Me and Harl' have this kind of relationship... that's completely one-sided. Took the girl well intoBatman#663 to get that through her head.It's really me and Bats that have this relationship and is the only one that counts! He doesn't understand that everything I do is for him. He may find me crazy and deranged now but he'll learn to see things my way eventually. But for now, we're just two star-crossed enemies.Magic Kiss: Yes, even in those rare moments when I became aMadGod-Emperorbent ondestroying the universe, my darling Harley thought she was gonna die after all she had done for me. That was when I came closer to her and gave her my special kiss that transformed her into a constellation. Ah, such aHeartwarming Moment.Magical Clown:Oh, please.I don't NEED all that supernatural mumbo-jumboto have fun. On the other hand,if the opportunity arises, Iwilltake advantage. I have to admit, screwing the world up (and evenkilling Batsy!) was fun while it lasted.Magnificent Bastard: While I'm almost always asly genius, I sadly often pass the heinousness level required to fit into this trope.Manipulative Bastard: Well of course. If you have any doubt, check outthis outing.Man of Wealth and Taste: Though sometimes I skip the wealth part. The good things in life? Bombs, guns, all that? They'recheap. Though I dolovemythreads, I'll give you that much.Masochism Tango: I like taking it as much (or more) than I like giving it — but only if it's Bats. He enjoys our little dances too, he just won't admit it.Mass "Oh, Crap!": I tend to inspire this in the good people of Gotham. I must admit, it's always nice to meet a fan.Master of Disguise: Maybe not one of my more renowned talents, (I don't use it all that much because, hey, who'd want to cover up my gorgeous mug?) but from time to time I pull it off. I once even trickedCatwomaninto thinking I washer boyfriend.Master Poisoner: You bet yer boots! Say, you look a little pale...more wine?Master Swordsman: I became one of these inBatman Ninja, as Batsy was not thrilled to find out during our climactic battle. It's always good to pick up a new skill, especially when you'reTrapped in the Pastand nobody's packing heat. As I always say, "When inRome, do as theFeudal Japanesedo!"Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane:Now, I know what you're thinking: "Oh, Joker, you horrifically handsome harlequin, was that truly your undead soul tormenting ol' Brucie's mind during hisAll Hallow's Eve tussle with Scarecrow, hell-bent on hijacking his Bat-bod for your own cruel ends? Or were you simply a manifestation of his decaying psyche, a hallucination brought on by a caustic cocktail of your own diseased blood and Crane's new and improved fear toxin?" Well, first off, my dance card's full, youmasher. Second... Why do you thinkIhave any idea?? BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!Memory Gambit: So there wasthat one timewhen Rowdy Groddy Pipertime warpeda bunch of Batverse VIPs, including Harl and yours truly, into an extended vacation inFeudal Japan. I wanted to get Batsy and his pals off our trail for a while, so I came up with a plan that was clever even by my brilliant (and modest!) standards.I hypnotised Harl and myself into believing that we were humble, non-evil farmers who just wanted to make a plant that was one of our crops bloom.Little Red Raging Hoodfound us and didn't buy it; he was about to give us quite the smackdown until Fatbat himself called him off on account of we weren't crazy anymore! And then, the moment they left, the plant bloomed — which was the trigger for Harl and I to go back to our fun-loving selves!Not bad, if I do say so myself.Mermaid Problem: I solved this one quite handily in"The Laughing Fish". AsOl' Frysaid, fish-half on top is the way to go.A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read:Scary in there, isn't it,green-jeans?Mind Rape: I do these so often you could almost say they're my specialty! (Well, aside from jokes, of course.) Made 'em the happy souls they are today...My most famous instance of this occured inThe Killing Joke. Thanks,Alan!Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. Two words.Tim Drake.Ain't I a stinker?There was also a certainDetective Ethan Bennett. Tragically, hisconditionwas less than permanent.One incarnation of Harvey, Harvey, Harvey Dent.Good ol' Supes went cuckooan alternate me killed his wife!Some may say this is what I did to Dr. Quinzel. But I say, look at how muchhappiershe is now!Even got to run old Batsy himself through this during my glorious reign asEmperor!Once, I did this to a surfer to get his skill. Bats, the Boy Blunder, and Batgirl all overreacted. Get a sense of humor, people!...Once,that damn Marvin wannabedidthisto me.It was not funny. Makingmesane - who does he think he is?Once I believed I did that to little nobody Charlie Collins, but he was invoking this trope just to make me let him alone... What? Oh come on! Just read the list again! It was a perfect set up, I mean, I have this effect on a lot of people!Some Joe Shmoe journo took offense to my standard greeting when I came calling to check on his exposé on me. I'll give him credit, though... instead of the boilerplate responses to staring violent death in the eye, he furiously called me a friendless loser. And well, wasn't that interesting? I decided he might be ontosomething, so I decided to give it a shot, since he was so kindly offering. It didn't matter one bit where he went, I was already there, and every time he thought he'd outrun me, I'd drop for a visit. What? Friendship is a two-way street! Sheesh, and people call me an egotist! I was all set to be whatshisname's best friend and he just kept running, no matter how many little gestures of appreciation I dropped! In the end, the poor fella decided he needed... professional help. The kind only the wonderful people of Arkham can offer. Since I'd vanished from the face of the Earth, there was no better time to check in for a spell. He could have walked out at any time he wanted, but hell, I heard he's doing good progress! There's a kindly soul who's been helping him, making feel better, being his very bestest friend.*snicker* I can barely wait to see his face the moment Dr. Border drops the act.One version of that Jason Todd punkhad to put up with a WHOLE YEAR of this (andother things) from me.Even got him to call me "sir"right before I "shot" him!Ah, the memories...too bad I wasn't around to seethe resultsof my handiworkin person....Mind Screw: I just looooooove messing with you people's heads. Did I mention I'm immune to fear gas & hypnotism?Well...most of the time.Mission Control Is Off Its Meds: Duringthat time I took over Arkham, I often taunted my minions. However,considering they're total idiots, can you blame me?Money, Dear Boy: Occasionally, even I have to pull boring old regular bank heists and robberies just for the money. Chemicals and explosives ain't cheap, you know!Money to Burn:Literally.◊Monster Clown: One could argue that I'm the prime example of this trope, mentally and physically.Morality Pet:Dear littleHarleyreally hasmellowed me out, don't you think?Sweet kid... makes a fella consider giving upall the wild oatsand settling down... (Maybe I should ask ol' Eddie Nygma —he seems to have this problem alot...)Kick the Morality Pet:Although... I am gettin' quite tired of her stupid hyenas around the lair... and shehasfoiledmore than a few schemesthroughsheer incompetence...andJiminy Christmas,that insufferable voice of hers! No doubt about it, it's time fora little corporate restructuring!So long, Harl ol' girl!Say "hi" to Bob for me!HAHAHAHAHEEHEEHOOHOOHA!*sniff*...Well, that was fun!Who's for Chinese?More Teeth than the Osmond Family: Depending on who's capturing my fabulous smile on paper,of course!◊Mouthing the Profanity: After Batsy fails to hit me inThe Dark Knightand swerves out of the way, I can be seen mouthing the word "fuck". After all, committing on-screen murder is just entertainment, but using one of theSeven Dirty Wordsin a PG-13 movie? Nowthere'sa real crime!Mugging the Monster:During that timewhen Gotham was cut off from the rest of the United States, some punk decided to mug me. HA! Now he's gone!Ok. Occasionally in thatanimated show, I ended up with a problem that forced me to find good ol batsy to deal with it.Muggles Do It Better: I don't need to shoot magical lasers out of my ears to put Superman down faster than Darkseid usually does. Everyone gives poor Croc grief for his grand plan of"I threw a rock at him!"but it workssowell against our favorite Kryptonian.Multiple-Choice Past:If I'm going tohave a past,I prefer it to be that way. And well, between all the made-up sob stories I've fed those gullible good-for-nothing therapists over the years and the chemicals that ran through my system, I'm actually a bit confused about what happened on that fateful night and who I was before it myself. Not that it kills my buzz; mysteries are the spice of life!Since that whole "New 52" nonsense, I've recalled a few memories involving ahorribly cruel grandmotherwho liked to bleach my skin. Is it true? Eh, who cares?I'm actually an interesting case: while I'm often stressed to have it in-universe, the origin given is almost alwaysthe same oneover and over.Almostalways, but you get the picture.In Shadow of the Bat #38,Tears of a Clown, I celebrated my anniversary of the day I was a still sane, but hapless comedian, and I was thrown out of an exclusiveStand-Up Comedyclub for an unfunny act the patrons mercilessly heckled. Being desperately poor, this marks myStart of Darknessas I agreed to provide to my family by pulling a job for the Red Hood gang. So I kidnapped all the patrons and made them reenact my act with control collars that would kill them when they laughed.The funny thing is that the patrons were really hardcoreStand-Up Comedyfans,so they claimed to have seen (and heckled) so many acts that nobody remembered the act of a bad comedian. So I cannot even be sure that myStart of Darknesseven really happened or it was allThrough the Eyes of Madness.They throw me out, and I had a wife and an unborn child… or it was two cows and a goat? Sometimes it's so confusing…Maaan, you just don't know howannoyingit is when the writers forget stuff like this. Why,a pal of mineapparently was an eyewitness to events that seemed to confirm Alan's version. And then they stopped caring. Still, as bothersome as it is, you have to admit having a specific origin confirmed would just ruin my dashing mystique. For the best, I guess.InEndgame- a bunch of possibilities get tossed around. A demon, abody-stealingrobot, some sort ofHumanoid Abominationnurtured by laughter, a mad immortal... hell, even maybe a defector from a secret military project... or maybe just plain good ol' boy Willie Distal.And if any of you actually bought any of that for a second, please contact my agent - it's not every day one finds someone so open-minded their brains areleaking.InJustice League#42, ole Bats supposedly learns my true name, and he's shocked - as if it's someone he already knows! And it'll be revealed in #50? Oooh, this oughta be good, because will those guys up in the executive office of that comic book companyhave the guts to nail down who I am?Oh, I like this one. Turns out what shocked Batbrain wasthere arethreeof me running around - the Golden Age me, Alan Moore's me, and Scott Snyder's me. Guess it's true what they say - you reallycan'thave enough of a good thing!Tim BurtonandJack Nicholsoncompletely averted this in theirversion of me.They not only gave me a name, but showed me asThe DragonandThe Starscreamto a past-his-prime mob boss! That might almost be heresy, except that they alsomade me the guy who iced Bat-Boob's parents!How's that for cosmic irony?Remember theDC Animated Universe, whenmy angel of death awaited?You don't get the full story, but you learn just enough about yours truly to whet your whistle. Turns out that not only did I start out as one of Sal Valestra's bully boys in that world, I was also Carl Beaumont's escort to the afterlife! Of course, that wound upbiting me in the tuchus. Gotta hand it to good ol' Andie — she came as close to taking me down as anyone who's ever tried!Still, it always comes down to the same thing in the end. Give me any name you care to. Present all the evidence you want. Convince yourself that's who I am. I may have once been someone else, but sure as hell I'm not that person anymore. If the idea hasn't sunk in this far into the page, then I'm afraid there really is nothing I can do for you save perhaps beating it into your head. Crowbar or revolver? Your choice, pal.My Card: Strangely, not everyone appreciates the pun.My Death Is Only The Beginning: I tried to make Bat Guano go allHe Who Fights Monsterson me afterthe ferry boat fiasco, but the spoilsport didn't rise to the bait. Gee, I wonder why ol' Batsy won't go cuckoo by killing me. I've always wanted to prove him wrong on his morals and that he's no different from me.But an alternate versionof me made Superfreak goJump Off The Slippery Slope, and surprisingly,IT WORKED!!I PERMANENTLY BROKE SUPERMAN FOR GOOD!!!And considering the goings-on after he killed my alternate self, I consider that my greatest triumph! The alternate me pretty much shattered Big Blue's faith in everything, and he's just now a lunatic like my alternate version. Like myself, the alternate me wantedto prove everyonecan have"a bad day", but I'm jealous that he succeeded, and I failed in making Bat-brain go wild.My God, What Have I Done?: Unusually,Iof all people have been forced to go through this. Don'cha worry, hombre,Status Quo Is God. It's just that it was duringthat timethat weird green guyforced my poor brainto think in such bizarre,diseasedthought patterns.Last time a psychic ever tried to make me sane, though.There's been a few occasions where I've been rendered temporarily sane, and I...I-I..Oh, god, what have I done?! I didn't mean... I didn't mean for it to turn out this way!! I j-just...my wife, my child!! It's all my fault! All-all my...my.. I can't seem to remember...Now now, nobody likes a party pooper!Named by the Adaptation: WhenTim BurtonandJack Nicholsonportrayed me intheir 1989 movie, they gave me the name Jack Napier. I've noticed that quite a few stories that show me before I put on my happy face also run with that as my name. To be fair, it's aMeaningful Namein that it's similar to "jackanape", and the jack is a type of playing card.Narcissist:From time to time.With a beautiful face like mine, can you blame me?Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: And a pretty bad one at that, too. I rememberthat one timewhen I set up the bombs all over the cathedral, then told Bat-butt the plan and urged him to get out. I then counted down the seconds from ten all the way down to zero... and for some odd reason the Caped Crusader just kinda stood there, as if he had no clue what to do. I tried coaxing him to get out, but he didn't seem to hear me. Then I gotREALticked off and started making minor threats,but in doing so I blurted out a few hints that foreshadowed my ownDowner Ending, probably breaking the whole "Do Not Spoil This Ending" rule,right before I made a major threat to blow this whole damn place sky-high, for real this time. And it's likely I would have blown him up along with it had he not somehow been intimidated by my major threats and hightailed it the hell out of here. Maybe I should have kept my big mouth shut andblown him up to bits sooner after my countdown to zerowhile I had the chance.My whole scheme in theThe LEGO Batman Movieput the Lego Batsy onto a path to becoming a better person who was willing to open up to others. Eh whatever,I got what I wanted out of the film, he can have his stupid family.The Nicknamer:You made it all the way down here, and you still need me to tell you?Not exactly the brightest hammer in the henhouse, are ya,Tropesy?No Celebrities Were Harmed: Some of my victims fall into this, as I've killed stand-ins forSiskel and Ebert, as well asDavid Letterman and Dr. Ruth Westheimer.No Fourth Wall: And lovin' it! I'll happily chat directly with readers, and I've been doing it foryearsbefore thatAnonymous— in the"chan"sense of the phrase— over at Marvel made it "cool"! I do it so well, evenyoucan't be sure if I am or not sometimes!No Name Given: What was my name back before that little incident with the vat of chemicals?Jack?Joe?Jeremiah?Arthur?Y'know, I'm not sure I remember it myself...And I preferitstaysthat way,thank you very much!No Sense of Humor: No, really! In myvery firstappearance, I was a smiling psychotic gangster withno sense of humor whatsoever— and during my fight with Bats,he'sthe one making puns while I'm just screaming"I am going to kill you!"... (Well, I didget him to laugh once, but mostly becauseI wasn't in the happiest of moods.)Also, I want you to laughwith me, not AT me. I really gotTICKED OFFwhen that Bat-fake copied my style.No Shirt, Long Jacket: Every now and then I'll forgo the full purple three-piece and just throw on the coat instead.And don't think I don't see you staring, folks!Jerrysports this look forSuicide Squad (2016).When he's wearing anything at all up top, that is.Not Me This Time: If there's a drawback to the insanity stuff, it's that it's pretty hard to convince Gotham's finest that no, it doesn't matter how much it looks like I did it, no matter how damning the evidence is, no matter how funny I thought it would be,there are times when I just ain't responsible for the latest punchline.Not-So-Harmless Villain: You'd think a villain with a clown theme would be the most pathetic and lowest rogue in the gallery, right? Boy, you gotta love the imagination of those writers!There was even a universe where Batboy himself and the entire Gotham City mob underestimated me.It didn't end well for any of them, but I had a lot of fun showing them otherwise.Flyboy donned a radiation proof suitand thought that'd be enough to defeat me. Also, he believed the marbles I dropped were just to trip him. He had a, shall we say,explosivesurprise.Here's a link to the main page ofyours truly!A-F|G-N|O-Y
