## Biography

### Becoming Red Hood

Originally a normal man, the Joker was a failed comedian with a wife and unborn son. He was a failed comedian, and was doxed into a life of crime, known as the Red Hood, committing petty crimes like Breaking & Entering, Theft, Auto Theft, Bank Robbery, Conspiracy to commit Bank Robbery, Money Laundering, and trafficking, all to get enough money to raise his child with his wife. All of this, however, caught the attention of the Batman.

### Rise of the Joker

Eventually catching the attention of the Batman, he would lead the Batman around the city until entering Ace Chemicals, where he was cornered. When attempting to turn himself in and prove to Batman he wasn't a criminal, he fell onto a faulty barricade and fell into a vat of chemicals, stretching his smile, bleaching his skin white, and turning his hair green.

Surviving the attack, the man became the Joker, a murderer-terrorist, and one of Batman and Robin's biggest foes, destroying Gotham and causing Anarchy for a laugh. He would be one of Batman's recurring enemies throughout the years.

### New Robin

Soon, Batman would replace his first Robin (Now that he's aged) with another one, found in crime alley, named Jason Todd. Joker would continue to fight the duo, and would eventually start working with (Secretly for) Superman's biggest foe, Lex Luthor.

When the League of Assassins were planning to ship trucks over to another state, they hired Joker as a distraction. His first distraction was to rob Gotham Bank and run around it, distracting Batman for hours, but later would make up his own distractions, each one getting even more gruesome.

### The Killing Joke

In order to get to and distract Batman, he went to the Gordon's Residence and shot Barbara Gordon (Secretly one of his foes, Batgirl) in the spine, taking photos as she cried in pain. He would also kidnap Jim Gordon, and hold him hostage until Batman arrived. Joker would be arrested.

Sometime between one of his imprisonments, he would develop a romantic relationship with his psychiatrist, Harleen Quinzel.

### Death in the Family

When Jason was capable of deducing Joker's location to a warehouse, the dealing had already began, causing Jason and Batman to split up. Curious, Jason would explore the warehouse, where Joker would kidnap Jason, restraining him, and beating him to death with a crowbar. Eventually, Joker would leave the warehouse, as the bomb went off, killing Jason.

Since then, Joker would be arrested and restrained at Arkham for a long while, where he would develop a romantic relationship with his psychiatrist, Dr. Harleen Quinzel.
