The Joker, also known as the Clown Prince of Crime, is Batman's arch-nemesis. An agent of chaos known for his malicious plots, wacky gadgets and insidious smile, he has caused Batman more suffering than any other villain he has ever faced. His origin, name, and true motivations remain a mystery.
The Joker's insanity appeared to be a strange mixture of violently aggressive psychopathy, nihilism, and fixated narcissism. He was frequently shown to have no regard for human life, and treated the pain and suffering of others as personal sport.
While frequent attempts had been made to diagnose the Joker's 'insanity', none were consistently proven successful. Every attempt to cure him had proven completely fruitless, as the Joker actively and energetically resisted separation from his madness. He spent the majority of his time in Arkham Asylum, a somewhat inadequate facility which he and other inmates came to view as sort of a home. The Joker was able to escape from the Asylum almost at will, and did so disturbingly frequently. He treated it like a resting place between his criminal exploits.

== Trivia ==
* Apart from Harley, no one likes or supports the Joker. In any way, whatsoever. Damn near every other Batvillain hates his guts, mostly because not only is he completely sociopathic, but also they are all scared shitless by him. The only reason why he's even allowed in teams such as the Legion of Doom is because of that fear: if they exclude him from the lineup, then chances are that dead bodies will be lining the streets in their name.
* In Batman: The Man Who Laughs, it's established that the name "The Joker" was given to him by the media, and he liked it so much that he decided to call himself that.
* Easily one of the most feared villains in the entire DC universe. Other villains are afraid of him; it's been said that when criminals want to scare each other, they tell Joker stories.
* As revealed in Darkseid War and DC Rebirth, the Joker has been used by three people, meaning the Joker Batman first fought isn't the same man who'd torment the Gordons—and that Joker himself isn't the one who'd cause the events of Death of the Family and Batman: Endgame.
