First appearance: Batman #1( April 25, 1940)

Story:
All it takes is one bad day to drive a man to lunacy. That has not been more true than this case right before us. Falling into a vat of chemicals, forever bleaching and destroying the sane man he use to be. During the early days of Batman's career, he had tussled with a mad scientist named Dr. Death, and has faced the gangsters of Gotham, while aiding in the cleansing of Gotham's corrupted police force, and giving the citizens of Gotham hope for a brighter future. That was before that fateful April Fools' Day. When the Gotham Merchants Bank was robbed of an enormous portion of the mob's money, their weapon supplies was confiscated by an enormous trench coat wearing woman, and finally Andre Falcone, the eldest son of mob don Carmine Falcone was murdered by a crazy criminal wearing a red shaded cloth mask.
As the weeks has passed, the mad man now proclaiming himself as the Joker, caused much havoc and death throughout Gotham. From breaking out and recruiting the inmates of Arkham, killing off all of the closest allies of the mob such as Mayor Graham, former chief Angel Rojas, Councilman Arthur Reeves, and inadvertently killing new Police Commissioner Sarah Essen one of the few uncorrupted police officers in Gotham and Jim's colleague as well as his first girlfriend. Eventually, he would cross paths with the entire mob families of Gotham and would leave the Falcone estate wrecked and given a price on his head, courtesy of Carmine Falcone himself, who simultaneously placed a price on Batman's head as well. Eventually the Joker would make what would be known as his "big break" when he killed and impersonated new stand up comedian Jerry Valeska whom was scheduled to be a guest on the Late Show with Murray Franklin.
Killing Murray with the same toxin he used to kill Andre which he calls Joker toxin, the Clown Prince of Crime revealed himself to the public and held the entire studio and half of Gotham's Entertainment District hostage. After dealing with the would be bounty hunters after the prices on Batman and Joker's head, the Dark Knight along with the rest of the CGPD go to defuse the situation. As Gordon and the officers go to stop Joker's henchman led by his second in command Bob Hawkins, and their muscle, Bruno, Batman goes to the studio to stop Joker who is holding everyone hostage while he "entertains" them while robbing them all of their riches. However, Batman walked into a trap and Joker looked to blow up the whole studio with him and the audience with it while Joker escapes. Defusing the bomb with only a few seconds to spare, Batman learns that Joker has fled to his lair of the abandoned carnival.
Fighting through the inmates, Batman quickly discovered that Joker's next plan was to poison Gotham's water supplies with his Joker toxin. Learning that Batman had survived and stopped the explosion, Joker became rather furious at Batman for "ruining his big night". Fighting him on top of the Ferris Wheel, the Joker had nearly fallen to his death if it weren't for the Batman saving his life in the end, despite everything he had done and decided to allow the courts to do their work in doing away with the mad clown. Since being sent to Arkham Asylum after the court deemed him insane, Joker only saw the asylum as his second home and would frequently escape Arkham to cause mayhem across Gotham. During his stays, he became acquainted with Dr. Arkham's daughter Astrid and has eventually turned new doctor Harleen Quinzel to his side. Throughout the years, the Joker had been responsible for many atrocities, and is said by many that he was the first true sign of what was to come, and would be part of the catalyst of the Mob's end.

Author's input: Ah the Joker. Batman's arch enemy and in my honest opinion(sorry MrRogues) rightfully so. He is by far my favorite Batman rogue and he is perhaps the perfect foil for the Dark Knight and is the prefect Yin to Bruce's Yang. There have been many different origins and versions of the Clown Prince of Crime, and many of them in their own unique ways are spectacular and all differ from one another. However, most if not all have one great thing in common. Whether he is just a cackling prankster, an old school gangster with bad plastic surgery, a gritty anarchist, or anything else in between, the Joker has caused nothing but mayhem and chaos on Gotham and for the Batman for over 80 years and counting. The Joker time and time again has proven that he is the Caped Crusader's greatest adversary. From laughing fish, kidnapping/torturing Commissioner Gordon, killing Robin, crippling Batgirl, old classic heists, and even crimes so over the top, you'd have to be insane to think of them. Case and point. Completely insane and completely unpredictable, this clown is somebody you DO NOT want to cross, and surely not a clown you wish to invite to birthday parties.

Bio:
Real name: Unknown
Occupation: Professional criminal,
Base of Operations: Gotham City
Eyes: Green
Hair: Green
Height: 6ft
Weight: 160lbs

Attributes:
Homicidal Maniac,
Unknown Past. Has a strong reputation of creating multiple stories for his past.
High intelligence
Skilled chemist. One such toxin is his infamous Joker Toxin. A gas that stretches the victim's face into a grin matching his own, followed immediately by death.
Strong hand-to-hand combatant.
A vast variety of knives, guns, bombs, and many other deadly means. All based on party gags.

Dream voice actor: Mark Hamill. Time and time again, Mark said he was done. But the Joker in him begs to differ. With a character that has stuck with him for more than two decades. Mark Hamill is in my opinion, THE greatest Joker EVER!! I hope he continues to play him, until the day he dies.

Featured songs: I go looney by Mark Hamill, Joker's song by Miracle of Sound, Smile by Nat King Cole, and Where's the Fun in That? by Jeff Bennett.

These are no-brainers to have as his featured songs. I mean come on. Do I even need a reason to choose them as such? I go looney is the song he sang in both the Killing Joke graphic novel and was brought to even greater heights in the film by the magnificent Mark Hamill. Joker's song is pretty self-explanatory as well. Joker is singing about his relationship with the Dark Knight. Smile was not used for Joker's case not once, but twice! The first that I can recall was from the spectacular fan film Patient J by Batinthesun, and another version was used in the Joker film trailer. Honestly, I am NOT a fan of the film for quite a few reasons. Mainly it just doesn't really seem like Joker to me. But I digress, I chose the Nat King Cole version because it is the one most people remember, or talk about and it is very nostalgic for me. Jeff Bennett is a great Joker to represent the Dick Sprang era of the Clown Prince of Crime, and the song is such a great number to add to the songs of the mad clown. With all that said, these four songs all fit the Joker like a worn boot. whether you find them eerie, fascinating, creepy, or whatever, there is one absolute. They all just scream Joker.

Notes:
1. Well here we are. So far my best drawing of the Ace of Knaves to date. Took me quite some time let me tell you. You may notice that his stance is heavily taken from his bio-art in Arkham Asylum. I have loved that piece ever since I first played Asylum when I was a teenager, and I have wanted to draw my own version of that stance. I even took a few elements from Bruce Timm's Joker and of course the design you have seen before on my page.
2. In the past I made my drawing so small and I was so concerned about making their legs, and arms too long or too short. But now that I have expounded myself, the size ratio will be quite easier to maintain.
3. I do indeed plan to do all the other Batman rogues as I have done here, and I mean all of them. From classic, Oc's Blunders, and even Specials. The Specials will be even better to do because now I can expound on my creative level.
4. Well well, what have we here. A digital drawing from the guy who has done nothing but traditional drawings for so long?! That's right! One of my Christmas presents was none other than an art pad for my laptop! After working for pretty much all night, I was able to get around using the pen and pad! With my sister's help of course. In case you are all wondering, yes, I plan to do the other rogues. But you will also see the traditional art from me still. That is definitely not going to change for as long as I see to that.
5. So I was going through my drawings and I noticed something. For those who don't know I apparently draw the heads too big! Seriously, they all looked like caricature versions of themselves! Lol!
6. So as you have seen there are plenty of Easter eggs throughout his story. Have fun pointing them out.
