The Joker

Serial Killer

**The Joker**is a playable character and is a human supervillain known for his appearance in the DC Universe in both comics and media. He is most famously known as the arch-nemesis of Batman, is also arguably DC's most well-known antagonist and is widely regarded as one of the greatest fictional characters of all time. He is an insane, homicidal serial killer and criminal mastermind who has no superpowers beyond a capacity for incredible violence and an unpredictable skill at creating deadly mayhem, and frequently concocted elaborate schemes to ruin the life of his nemesis.

## Lore

*Because of his chronic and deeply seated insanity, there is no definitive story of how the man who would become the Joker came to be. There are, however, a few prevailing versions of what could be his origin story.*

*The most well-known of these is about a chemist with a pregnant wife, down on his luck and attempting to make money as a stand-up comedian. Not able to make ends meet, he is recruited by a gang of criminals to assist in a heist at his former chemical plant using the traded off guise of the Red Hood. Right before the job was to be carried out, the man learns that his wife and unborn child were killed in a household accident. Feeling that there is no point anymore, the man makes a futile attempt to back out of the job but ends up being coaxed into it anyway and he breaks into the chemical plant with the criminals as the Red Hood. Coming under fire, both of the criminals are killed in a shootout with the security guards, leaving the man in the Hood alone.*

*It's then that Gotham's recently-established nocturnal avenger, the vigilante known only as the Batman, descends upon him on one of the chemical plant's catwalks. Cowering from him, the man loses his footing and falls into a large vat of chemicals before Batman can save him. Washing ashore, the man feels burning in his face and eyes. Discarding the hood, the man looks at his reflection in a puddle of rain and sees his skin bleached chalk white, his hair dyed emerald green, and his mouth unnaturally stretched into a rictus grin. The man begins crying, then giggling, and suddenly bursts into maniacal laughter, driven irredeemably insane by one bad day and a horrible disfigurement. From then on, the Joker's brilliantly sadistic and reprehensible actions would plague Gotham City at-large for years to come, with his murderous, unpredictable formability causing him to become Batman's chief adversary in the vigilante's war on crime.*

* **Backward Throw:**The Joker hooks the opponent with his crowbar, switches sides with them and squirts acid in their face from his flower lapel.

### Splatter Move

* **Why So Serious:**The Joker will throw a pie in the opponent's face before pulling out two knives to slash the opponent's cheeks with, creating a bloody smile. He then proceeds to hit his opponent from behind repeatedly with his crowbar, as blood splatters all over the screen. While the opponent is painfully on the ground, the Joker gets on top of them and pulls out a bazooka to shoot the opponent point-blank range with sending him flying back completely unharmed while causing severe damage to the opponent.

### Execution Moves

* **The Killing Joke:**The Joker takes out a gun and shoots it, but instead of a bullet, some confetti and a flag with the word "BANG!" on it pop out of the barrel. The opponent is shocked as the Joker laughs in amusement, before pulling the trigger a second time which launches the flag into the opponent's heart and the Joker's laughing gas emits from the flag which causes the opponent to literally die laughing with blood dripping from their eyes and mouth. The opponent then painfully dies with bulging eyes and the signature death grin.
* **Not So Funny Is It?:**The Joker throws two of his playing cards into his opponent's legs, crippling them and causing them to scream in pain, he then fires a stream of acid from his flower lapel into their horrified face and gleefully watches as the opponent's face melts until they horrifically die.
* **Let's Be Serious:**The Joker salutes his defeated opponent honorably and convinces them to shake his hand, tricking them into a lethal trap as he electrocutes them with his electric joy buzzer until they become horribly charred and are gruesomely killed in pain.
* **Send in the Clowns:**The Joker whistles in a gang of thugs wearing clown masks to outnumber the opponent and proceed to stab at and beat them mercilessly including slitting their throat with a broken glass bottle, breaking one of their legs with a baseball bat with nails embedded in it and shooting them in the stomach with a shotgun which blows their intestines out. The Joker laughs in amusement and calls his henchmen off before carving a smile into his opponent's face with his knife.
