In 1940, Jerry Robinson drew the first concept sketch of one of the greatest literary villains of all time The Joker. Robinson describes the creation of the exhibit "ZAP! POW! BAM! The Superhero: The Golden Age of Comic Books 1938-1950," on display at the Skirball Museum.

  • RIP Jerry Robinson and Bill Finger, the real geniuses behind Batman and Joker.

    Fuck that piece of shit bob kane.

  • @mackishstyle actually he's not an idiot he's a genius, he's insain. There's a diffrence.

  • @kylesullivan96

    Possibly the liquid metal lad out of terminator 2 and Venom out of spiderman are also cool. But lets face it then 3 are the best villains ever. Shame venom was ruined in the film though.

  • The great thing about the joker is, in a script you wanna make the bad guy seem like he has the advantage to get the audience on the edge of their seats. The Joker doesn't hes just an idiot.

  • to the great Mr Jerry Robinson ... the man who helped bob Kane to create the greatest villain of all time the joker and what has wanna beans did to it they ruined it by creating the crap called Harley Quinn and guess what the crap is joker "s girlfriend ........

  • R.I.P. Jerry!

    You created the greatest maniac in comics!!

  • @cha5 took kane decades to admit that finger had anything to do with the creation...he never said word one about robinson. kane was a real piece of work

  • thank god for jerry. a great man...

  • @iDraw3G Go to hell, Jerry Robinson fought tooth and nail to get Superman creators Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster a livable pension when they were at the end of their rope thanks to what DC put them through, and he and Bill Finger did more to contribute to the creation of the Batman mythos than Bob Kane ever did.
