Kid... I'm the JOKER. I don't just randomly kill people. I kill people when it's funny. What would be conceivably funny about killing you? --JOKER
Who is the JOKER?
The JOKER is an agent of chaos known for his purple three-piece suit and insidious smile, he has caused Batman more suffering than any other villain he has ever faced. His origin and true motivations are shrouded in mystery.
The JOKER is a serial killer and a super-villain, a dangerous madman who dresses like a clown and commits violent crimes. In addition to being a deadly and unpredictable physical combatant, he is a brilliant and ruthless criminal mastermind. His crimes require no motivation other than his sadistic desire to show people the meaninglessness of life through pain and death, and the narcissism to see the world remade in his own image. He is constantly adapting his personality and his psychosis to respond to the world around him, sometimes a harmless trickster and at others a brutal mass-murderer. The JOKER was created by Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger and Bob Kane, first appearing in Batman #1. (1940)
