| - The Joker is a supervillain, whose base of operation was Gotham City and was Batman's most famous enemy.
- Supposedly, the man who would become the Joker had initially been an unknown engineer at the Ace Chemical Processing Plant, as well as a married man and an expecting father who quit his job, both due to being creeped out by the place, and to pursue his dream job of being a comedian in an attempt to help people laugh and feel good. However, his job proved to be challenging at best, often times flubbing a punchline or freezing up on stage, and he and his pregnant wife, Jeannie were forced to settle in a cheap apartment complex where the landlady hated him. The man one night proceeded to return from his time at a Comedy Club, where it was implied that he had done a terrible job (he mentioned that the club indicated they'll call him back in, but he fears he may have blown a punchline). After Jeannie gave an "oh", he then proceeded to lash out at his wife due to frustration at his failing his job, only to profusely apologize to her upon realizing what he was doing via his behavior. He then vowed to find a way to get them into a nice neighborhood, with his wife assuring him that she'll love him the way he is, as he was "good in the sack" and makes her laugh. Some time later, he eventually becomes desperate enough to provide for his family by trying to ask two shady men for some help, offering to aid them in terms of passing through the ACE chemical plant where he formerly worked at. The men agreed, and to ensure his anonymity, they also gave him a disguise for him to wear for the caper against the card company next door: the infamous Red Hood, whom the man recognized from the papers as being the same guy who raided the Ice company the previous month. Although he was reluctant to go through the plan, he nonetheless agreed to do so, for the sake of his family. The weekend they were to do the heist, he then met with the group, also lying to Jeannie that he's going to a gala to ensure she doesn't get concerned about him. Before they could start the caper, however, two policemen arrive and bring him outside for a talk. He then learns from them that Jeannie had died from a baby bottle heater accident where she and her baby were electrocuted. Feeling there was no more point to go through with the heist, he attempts to call it off. However, the crooks strongarm him into participating in the heist anyways by strongly implying that they will kill him if he attempts to back out, thus leaving him with no other options but to do so. The next night, the man, after reminiscing his walking to work, proceeded to dress up as the Red Hood, and when noted he has a funny-shaped head, mentions he probably should have been a clown instead of a comedian. However, the already bad night got worse when he and the crooks discovered that, since he left the company, they had installed security. Due to his red hood apparatus fogging up, he eventually couldn't see the ground below, and was nearly executed by the gang members until they were gunned down in turn, although not before they pinned the blame on him. The man then tried to flee, and then pondered out loud what he did to deserve what came to him, only to encounter a black demon-like creature advancing on him and indicating they've encountered each other before. Scared of the demon sent after him, he then tried to beg for him not to come any closer, but then tripped and fell into a drainage vat. After emerging from the drainage vat outside, the man staggered, and then removed his red hood, also confused and agitated as to why he's burning and itchy all over. However, he stops himself when he sees his reflection and found out why: his face, and most likely his entire body, due to being exposed to the chemicals, had been disfigured, giving him emerald-green hair, chalk-white skin, and ruby-red lips, giving him the appearance of a clown. This, alongside the awful events of the entire night, drove him completely insane by having him laugh hysterically in anguish at the discovery, thus giving birth to the Joker. Whether this was actually true or not is unknown, as Joker later admitted that even he isn't sure exactly what transpired on his day since his memories tended to change every time. He then grew to become one of Gotham City's most infamous criminals and Batman's most well known villain, where he had frequent bouts of being locked up in Arkham Asylum. Notable crimes of his included the murder of Robin. He also whenever getting out of Arkham would as his first act hire a prostitute to sleep with. He also proceeded to kill and lock up an audience, the remains of which would be uncovered three years later.
