There is an official story on how the Joker became the Joker. DC's character guide--Who's Who--credits the account featured in The Killing Joke, so it's safe to assume that his past is along those lines. His memories are probably incomplete, he doesn't remember all the details at the same time but his accounts, although blurred, are essentially true. The fact that he tried stand up comedy and everyone hated his jokes is painfully entertaining, it makes you see the human in him. :D
i know the origin.. when the joker was little his father was mad man one night his dad went crazy he got out a pocket and knife and killed her wife in front of joker when he was small.. then he notices that he saw and he goes up to him put the knife in this mouth and cuts him thats why he has his scars. when he cut him he said why so serious. and thats where he got his saying
In fact I think also that why he can't exactly rember it was because of falling into chemical tank, like the chemicals messed up his brain, like partial amnesia
Batman is the worlds greatest detective and he has friends that are gods, time travelers, psychics, mind readers, sorcerers/ witches and he still can't figure out who the joker really is. That is fucking retarded.
The Joker, truly he is the most remembered super villain of all time, and possibly he is the most feared. Just for the simple fact that you can beat him an inch to his life, pain and excruciating agony. He opens his eyes to face the terror of death and Hell, and all he does is smile, a grin from ear to ear. And laughs, he laughs and laughs and laughs. Unable to breath he laughs harder as he falls into the pit of Hell.
Ladies and gentle, boys and girls of all ages! Allow me to open the gate to this dark carnival and introduce to you the greatest villian ever, the one and only clowned prince of crime, murderer of many and entertainer to all, he is a man who has come to be known as The Joker!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
In the Dark Knight, the Joker doesn't have bleached skin, it's makeup. This is true because his skin has a normal tone when he was assassinating the mayor.
@Kazoo4U That was the movie Joker i dont think Joker ever said that in the comics but DID say his father beat him for no reason in the animated series in the episode when he met Harley Quinn
I JUST read Killing Joke. Awesome backstory that almost had me feeling sorry for the Joker for once. but then I remember even before the dialog revealing it, I realized that even this backstory may not be the real one. WHAT A PSYCHO
@stagneso At first I though he was way too popular to be good... Then I read his story and whatever it said on Wikipedia (seriously good source actually search it) and now he is my favorite
I remember this being mentioned in Arkham City during the interview with Hugo Strange. Hugo said that since Joker had 12 other back stories, all completely different except that Batman is somehow in each one, he dismissed it as a lie. I guess we may never truly know what happened to the Joker.
here what i know knowed as a stand up comdiane named jack napire whic was married with his pregent wife who was shot due to the fact that he was a part of gang who wanted to steal chemical form a planet and to do one last job and as the red hood batman stop him cuseing him to fall into the acid that turn him into the white and green joker we know today
@Mustrad That's the point, really. He came from ordinary circumstances..lost his job, failed to be a provider, his wife and unborn child were murdered, he was strong-armed by the criminals to continue on with the task, Batman mistakes him for the Red Hood. He's so insanely frightened by Batman's appearance that he takes a misstep and falls into the chemical vats. Batman, and one bad day, ruined his life and the Joker was Born out of the resulting insanity.
Revealing his past in actuality would ruin the mystique which in turn ruins his character.......the fact that his past is such an enigma intrigues people....take that away and you've just got another phsychotic killer that has some random gimmick to go by
I think one scene really speaks a lot about the Joker; in The Dark Knight when he lights his half of the money on fire. And of course the great Alfred quote about how some men just want to watch the world burn.
I like to think that The Joker was a former mob associate who got caught stealing from a mob boss and was cut up to look like he's always smiling, due to the fact that he was known for carrying around a joker card everywhere he went.
Batman had superhero friends that are time travelers, sorcerers, gods, mind readers, psychics, e.t.c and he still can't figure out the jokers origin that's fucking retarded. I think the best origin story is lovers and mandmen (from batman confidential) in that he was evil and very smart but not crazy before he became the joker
i think they should leave the story where he used to be a mobster to falling in the chemicals an turning into the joker i mean its a bad ass story line
There is a mistake here. In "The Dark Knight" there is a scene with the Joker without makeup. If his skin was bleached, how did he get his color back?
@Andy97009814 no he wasn't without the white makeup.. but instead he had makeup on to give the appearance of skin colour. Wearing things such as womens foundation and such. In that scene you see him wiping off the skin coloured makeup, not putting on white makeup.
I think Heath Ledger was the ultimate version of the Joker... Clever and sadistic... A little hint of tragedy would have been nice but Heath reigns supreme...
@Pete2daNate Mark Hamill IS Joker! He makes that character come to life.No one can touch him. Heath was just some crazy guy in makeup. He would have done a better job as the Mad Hatter
I think it sucks that D.C. doesn't create more origins for the Joker. I mean his past is never really the truth so it gives them a lot of flexibility to be creative. They should take advantage of this.
Hey ppl I'm doing Joker voice overs and Batman ( fan) comics so here is my origin story of the Joker ( Its not proven- its probably a lie joker told his doctor but anyway- in my batman Universe)
Joker ( his parents call him JJ) When he was 4 he was dressed as a clown for halloween and killed a cat and a bully who stole his candy
When his mother died ( she was a stripper) his dad remarrid and the stephmother was mean to the JJ. HE killed her and his dad whit a hammer.
oh yea I forgot. Before he told that lie/ origin story to his doc ( number 5 of my comic book) in number 3 he told Riddler that ones his dad came in his room and told him ( his dad was a clown in the circus) that they need to find his playing card. He throwed the cards on the floor. JJ had to pick one up. It was the Joker card and that was his lucky card.
I cant put the comics online but I'm going to make a batman cartoon (+15 years) all the storys are going to be in that cartoon.
@nathan9384 I think their problem is that no one can aggree, and they want to please everybody. As far as Catwoman goes, she's was, according to wiki, either a flight attendant with an abusive boss, a socialite with an abusive husband, or a prostitute with an abusive pimp. That last one was going to be the official one, but then someone said "no I can't let her have been a hooker!" So, now there's no background story.
You say that his face was turned permanently white. Yet I distinctly remember an episode of The Batman in which a small tin of "Clown Face Paint" was seen in his cell in Arkham Asylum. Why would he have any use for face paint if his face is permanently white? Good video by the way.
@anon7096 In "the Killing Joke" he gets one of his minions to impersonate him to confuse Batman. He might be planning to use it for that purpose, or as a gift to Harley, (she's not chemically altered, just crazy). Also, some adaptations ("The Dark Knight" movie and the 1960s TV show) mention him wearing makeup and not being permanently white (even though he never takes his makeup off). I'm not sure how he is in "The Batman," but this is how he is in the comics.
i like the killing joke. the origin story was believable, realistic and satisfying for the character and it really sums up the jokers code "it takes one bad day to turn a man insane". he does tht to harvey in TDK and other mad codes he lives by like causin chaos and obssessed with killin batman thro a comedic trick etc.
@AliceNchainz011 And no less sure about his own past. The Heath Ledger version has different stories about the day before his mouth was cut, similar to how the one in the comics has different stories about the day before he fell into the chemicals and got his face dyed. The 1989 movie with Jack Nicholson has the chemicals damaging his mouth muscles so that he smiles forever.
@shadowkid1993 Well when Bill Finger & Jerry Robinson created The Joker back in 1940 he was taken from a silent movie (The Man Who Laughs) about a man who when he was a child had his facial rictus nerves sliced by a gypsy surgeon leaving a permanant grin on his face. The Joker wasn't given a origin until the late 1940s (the red hood one) IMHO having his origin as a mystery works better. Interesting thing is the character in that film is sympathetic and noble, while The Joker is a murderous clown
@ZADER4427 Actually they did prove Jeannie (his supposed wife) existed seeing as Edward Nigma was a witness to her murder. Whether or not she was truly Joker's wife or not can't yet be proven, but we do know he at least knew her name and face.
@ZADER4427 Same here. A part of Joker's appeal as a truly great villain is his sense of mystery, lack of origin ect. Remove that, and you diminish the threat.
@ZADER4427 I ave on question have you ever read the killing joke because after reading that graphic novel you recieve a hole different outcome of the jokers personality
I like Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger and Bob Kane's interpretation which was in the Dark Knight; this guy comes out of no where and causes problems for the mob and worse for the Batman.
i have a question if te joker died would he go to hell. i mean yes hes killed people but hes crazy and techniqly cant help it. he used to just be a person trying to start a family
I had that famous book back in 88 when I was still collecting comic books. I left my collection at my mom's when I moved out 2 years later to be sure they would remain in good conditions. I was 20 then but, when I turned 30 I found out that my young brother who I left behind sold my whole collection, about 1200 comic books total. You never came back for them, he said.... I'm just waiting for him to get married and I swear I will slip a pill to his wife and do her for hours.
@zachstudio99 No, that's only in the movie, And that doesn't explain such things as his bleached alabaster white skin and green hair which has been a staple in the comics for decades. I always think that whatever created The Joker and destroyed his mind went way beyond a simple facial scaring.
I personally think it's better that he doesn't have an origin. This way it allows him to have a more foreboding presence in any aspect. Many people fear what they do not know which is one reason (I think) The Joker is the most notorious villians.
On the other hand, I can respect what the authors of this origin were probably trying to do, which was to create an opposite version of batman in a way so that Joker would always be a reminder as to who Batman can be. But that's just me.
@kmtut Interestingly one of Brian Bolland's biggest regrets about his and Alan Moore's The Killing Joke is The Joker being given an origin in his afterword of The Killing Joke.
"The script for The Killing Joke was very good, but I must admit I had to grit my teeth a couple of times during the drawing of it. I, for instance would never have chosen to reveal a Joker origin. I think of this as just one of a number of possible origin stories manifesting itself in The Joker's fevered brain"
@NiggerFuckful - The Joker never killed Bruce Wayne's parents. That was a story created by Tim Burton for the 1989 film. Batman Begins depicted their muder correctly when a desperate man named Chill gunned them down in a robbery gone tragically wrong.

@shadowkid1993 Well when Bill Finger & Jerry Robinson created The Joker back in 1940 he was taken from a silent movie (The Man Who Laughs) about a man who when he was a child had his facial rictus nerves sliced by a gypsy surgeon leaving a permanant grin on his face. The Joker wasn't given a origin until the late 1940s (the red hood one) IMHO having his origin as a mystery works better. Interesting thing is the character in that film is sympathetic and noble, while The Joker is a murderous clown

I don't beleive any of the Joker's origins since they haven't been proven. I've always preferred it as a mystery anyway.

@ZADER4427 I love the mystery too but I like the Killing Joke's version the best became it humanizes the joker

@ZADER4427 Actually they did prove Jeannie (his supposed wife) existed seeing as Edward Nigma was a witness to her murder. Whether or not she was truly Joker's wife or not can't yet be proven, but we do know he at least knew her name and face.

@ZADER4427 Same here. A part of Joker's appeal as a truly great villain is his sense of mystery, lack of origin ect. Remove that, and you diminish the threat.

@ZADER4427 Yeah, it makes him far less sympathetic, a true force of evil which is what he is.

@ZADER4427 Why is it that Joker's past is unknown & no one cares about what it truely was? That is how awesome it is.

Basically the only thing that anyone can say about the Joker's origin and be correct on is that one bad day caused him to lose his mind.

I like Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger and Bob Kane's interpretation which was in the Dark Knight; this guy comes out of no where and causes problems for the mob and worse for the Batman.

wolfmanfilms101 5 months ago
@wolfmanfilms101 Trying to start a family doesn't excuse murder. My dad and mom started a family, for instance.
Face it; Joker's not like Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn, or Killer Croc. He isn't tragic. He's just chaotic evil. Which makes him a great villain.

I had that famous book back in 88 when I was still collecting comic books. I left my collection at my mom's when I moved out 2 years later to be sure they would remain in good conditions. I was 20 then but, when I turned 30 I found out that my young brother who I left behind sold my whole collection, about 1200 comic books total. You never came back for them, he said.... I'm just waiting for him to get married and I swear I will slip a pill to his wife and do her for hours.

@zachstudio99 No, that's only in the movie, And that doesn't explain such things as his bleached alabaster white skin and green hair which has been a staple in the comics for decades. I always think that whatever created The Joker and destroyed his mind went way beyond a simple facial scaring.

I personally think it's better that he doesn't have an origin. This way it allows him to have a more foreboding presence in any aspect. Many people fear what they do not know which is one reason (I think) The Joker is the most notorious villians.
On the other hand, I can respect what the authors of this origin were probably trying to do, which was to create an opposite version of batman in a way so that Joker would always be a reminder as to who Batman can be. But that's just me.
kmtut 6 months ago
@kmtut Interestingly one of Brian Bolland's biggest regrets about his and Alan Moore's The Killing Joke is The Joker being given an origin in his afterword of The Killing Joke.
"The script for The Killing Joke was very good, but I must admit I had to grit my teeth a couple of times during the drawing of it. I, for instance would never have chosen to reveal a Joker origin. I think of this as just one of a number of possible origin stories manifesting itself in The Joker's fevered brain"

@NiggerFuckful - The Joker never killed Bruce Wayne's parents. That was a story created by Tim Burton for the 1989 film. Batman Begins depicted their muder correctly when a desperate man named Chill gunned them down in a robbery gone tragically wrong.

Batman and The Joker always have been and always will be two sides of the same coin. The Jokers origin is to point out just how much of it is true.
