## Biography

### Early life

The Joker started his criminal career wearing a Red Hood.

At some point, the Joker was the cause of an incident in which a lot of people died, and while Batman and Robin tried to stop him, he managed to get away.

Later, Joker shot Barbara Gordon, causing her to become paralysed in her legs, and sat beside her injured body until the police arrived to arrest him.

### Death

After escaping Arkham Asylum and killing several police officers, the Joker hid out at an amusement park. He was tracked down by Robin, who he then ambushed and beat to death with a crowbar. Just as he did with Gordon, Joker sat beside the body and waited for the police to arrive and arrest him. However, shortly after, Batman broke into his cell and bludgeoned him to death in a fit of rage and grief.
