 Joker (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Joker, by contrast, is literally a killer clown, driven by a disordered mind to pursue destruction and chaos with as much panache as possible.
The Joker, who was also bidding for Batman's identity alongside the Penguin, told Thorne he was lucky Strange took whatever secrets he held with him to the grave; he explained that he was destined to defeat Batman in a manner worthy of his criminal reputation, and that no one else had the right.
During that period, the Joker, portrayed by the late Cesar Romero in 18 episodes, was a goofy, harmless character akin to his comics persona of the 1950s and '60s, identifiable by a cackling laugh and silly, comedy-themed crimes, such as henchmen dressed as court jesters or bank robberies based on stand-up routines.

 Andy's Playing Cards - The Fool And The Joker
For instance, in ancient Rome public assemblies were suspended in case one of the participants was stricken by an epileptic crisis, as this sudden and unknown manifestation was feared almost as a warning sign from heaven.
Officially, the Joker card was first used in the Unites States, during the second half of the 19th century, for playing the game of Euchre.
The Joker has always been pictured as a jester, or as a harlequin, with the exception of few decks in which a fantasy subject is used (such as a local traditional feature, the manufacturer's logo, etc.), a trend which has become more frequent in recent years.

The Joker's methods are simple: gain pleasure in breaking every law and moral stature known to man. More importantly, he makes the crime funnier by playing a game of cat and mouse with Batman.
Joker's trademarks are his razor sharp playing cards and the laughing gas Smilex, a chemical that infects his victims with the same ghastly grin as his own.
Joker strives to outdo Gotham's other villains as well, for if they have the honor of doing Batman in then he has no purpose.

 Joker - Oracle Files
The Joker's history prior to his first clash with Batman and the Gotham police force is an enigma, and even he has difficulty remembering the details of his previous life, filtered as they are through his insanity.
One of the Joker's many memories suggests that he was once a failed comedian, a sad, pathetic loser and widower who was conned into accompanying some hoods on a robbery that led them through a chemical factory.
It was the Joker's bullet that crippled Barbara Gordon (Commissioner Gordon's daughter and the former Batgirl), and he murdered Jason Todd, the second Robin, with his bare hands.

The Joker's Wild debuted on CBS September 4, 1972, incidentally on the same day as the modern incarnation of The Price is Right.

It was the total purse for a special tournament of champions; the eventual winner received $500,000 of that total, half of which went to the charity of his or her choice.

 Michael Crawford's Review of the Week
Have no fear though, as the regular Batman is four per case, Bruce is packed three per case, and the Joker is two per case, with only one each of the weirder variations.
This is a much eviler appearing Joker than the Mark Hamill voiced version we're used to, but time will tell if he has the personality to match.
The Joker has the most color, and to go along with it, the most trouble with bleeding and poor edge definition between colors.

 Batman Begins sequel, casting rumors about Joker
the joker in the sequal will be a younger one who is wearing a mask until batman knocks him into the acid melting the mask to his face.
Joker needs to be set not as a popular actor but in the acting of the person chosen.
I see the "new" joker looking similar to the original, but with hair that is a darker shade of green, pale skin, and blood red lips, they should use a darker color palette al together.

 Paul Bettany for the Joker?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Realistically speaking introducing the Joker character at this stage is way too early, and the thought of having the Joker not being Nicholson is going to be weird.
Joker is supposed to be creepy as fuck when you see him, and he has an origin story which dares you to sympathesize with the person he was before he became The Joker.
Joker is insane, but so is Bruce Wayne, a fact which Bale conveys subtly very well in his performance.

 Player--Joker
It's very difficult for Joker to survive on the meagre pay he gets as a player (even though he draws in a large crowd, very little of that money actually gets to him) so he has often resorted to theivery in order to survive.
Not that that would really stop Joker, but when a woman and a darkish blue dragon told him that he could be supported while doing relatively little, Joker jumped on the opportunity.
Joker went out of his way anytime he possibly could, often to the abandonment of some boring and "very important" (every task was "very important", it seemed) to "bother" her until she smiled.
