Joker Series Story
The story of the Joker begins with several different origin stories throughout his appearances. The most common story of the Joker involves him falling into a tank of chemical waste that disfigures him and drives him insane. Whichever story fans choose to believe, Joker serves as the antithesis of Batman. The Joker does not possess any superhuman abilities or powers. Instead, he uses his background in chemical engineering to develop weapons and lethal concoctions with a poisonous twist. The Joker often works alone, but he is also seen with other villains in the Injustice Gang and Injustice League.
Joker Series Development
The Joker was created through the minds of three brilliant individuals. Bill Robinson and Bob Kane have both claimed responsibility for the Joker’s design. Bill Finger has always been acknowledged for the Joker’s writing contribution. The Joker made his first appearance in the Batman #1 comic in April 1940. In the original comic book, the Joker was actually planned to be killed off, preventing further appearances. After an editorial intervention, though, it was decided that the Joker would live on. Since his initial debut in 1940, the Joker has gained a ton of popularity. He is among the most iconic characters within pop culture, being listed as one of the best villains ever created.
