the Joker maybe Batman’s most famous
nemesis however few people can piece
together the background of this criminal
mastermind hey welcome to watchmojo.com
I’m your host Derek Allen and today
we’ll be trying to unearth the
background of this comic book madman as
there is no official history for the
Joker we have decided to follow the most
widely believed account from the comic
book Batman The Killing Joke published
in 1988 the Joker’s background is so
clouded that it seems to remain a
mystery even to himself the Joker
himself once even admitted sometimes I
remember it one way sometimes another if
I’m going to have a past I prefer to be
multiple choice The Killing Joke
introduces the Joker as a one-time
engineer who worked for a chemical
company nameless in the comic book we
learned that the engineer quit his job
to pursue a stand-up comedy career after
failing miserably at comedy and with a
pregnant wife at home the unnamed man
agreed to help to criminals break into
his old chemical plant after learning
that his wife had been killed in an
accident the engineer attempted to
withdrawal from the plan only to be
pressured forward by the criminals there
have been many ties between the Joker’s
past and an infamous recurring criminal
and the DC Universe named the Red Hood
you know I used to wear an outfit a lot
like that mine was more flashy maître D
the motorcycle fetish in The Killing
Joke the two criminals forced the
engineer to wear the red hoods infamous
red mast as a way to implicate him as
the leader of the crime group at the
chemical plant the two criminals are
gunned down and the engineer is
confronted by Batman in an attempt to
escape the engineer jumps into a vat of
toxic waste after being swept through a
pipe and out of the plant the engineer
discovers the skin has been permanently
bleached chalk-white his lips have been
stained red and his hair had been dyed
green the events of that day are enough
to drive the engineer insane and turn
him into Batman’s greatest enemy the
Joker a sociopathic criminal whose sole
reason for causing havoc on gotham city
often seems to be simply to entertain
himself and as you can see
I’m not happier some of the Joker’s most
famous weapons include lethal handshake
buzzers and poisonous laughing gas while
his image is characterized by a sadistic
sense of humor and in its dream
disregard for all of society and its
rules
