The Joker is a deceptively dangerous villain.
He believesthat if anyone had a significantly bad day, they would see things from his point of view.
The Joker attempted to prove this by shooting Barbara Gordon in her spine and then kidnapping James Gordon.
The Joker hoped to drive Gordon insane by using pictures he had taken of his daughter Barbara in pain.
But that hasn’t been true for all the Bat-Family members.
Thankfully, it turned out that Tim wasn’t dead.
He survived and even arrived just in time to help revive the Joker using CPR.
It was a pivotal moment in comic book history, and it changed the Batman books forever.
Jason eventually revived as the Red Hood and has been trying to kill the Joker ever since.
And so theJoker attempts to destroy the Bat-Family, capturing all of them and exploiting Batman’s paranoia.
While no one had died or was even hurt, theBat-Family no longer wanted anything to do with Batman.
This wedge remained in the Bat-Family for a while, but they eventually overcame it and reunited.
He’s been pushing Batman to break his no-kill rule for decades.
But one story saw the Joker get tired of playing with Batman and instead turn his attention to Superman.
TheJoker infects Lois Lanewith a poison thatwill seemingly kill her unless she’s given an antidote.
Superman very strongly considers this, but eventually, he just can’t do it.
Instead, Lois turns out fine; it’s revealed that the poison was never lethal at all.
The Joker’s murder resulted in a half-decade war between Batman and Superman.
Batman, terrified of Superman’s new willingness to use lethal force, stood against him.
While this might seem like a Joker victory, Batman did eventually prevail.
That’s not what happened.
The Joker instead decided that if he’s going to die,he’s taking the world with him.
One of Batman’s biggest fears is what would happen if he ever ends up killing the Joker.
But he didn’t stop there.
This fate was prevented when a giant golden Wonder Woman threw him into the sun.
In this story, the Joker gained 98% of the power of Mr. Mxyzptlk.
The Joker is a psychopathic criminal mastermind with a warped sense of humor.
