He was created by <a href="/wiki/Bill_Finger" title="Bill Finger">Bill Finger</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bob_Kane" title="Bob Kane">Bob Kane</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Robinson" title="Jerry Robinson">Jerry Robinson</a>, and first appeared in the debut issue of the comic book <i><a href="/wiki/Batman_(comic_book)" title="Batman (comic book)">Batman</a></i> on April 25, 1940. Credit for the Joker's creation is disputed; Kane and Robinson claimed responsibility for his design while acknowledging Finger's writing contribution. Although the Joker was planned to be <a href="/wiki/Killing_off" title="Killing off">killed off</a> during his initial appearance, he was spared by editorial intervention, allowing the character to endure as the <a href="/wiki/Archenemy" title="Archenemy">archenemy</a> of the superhero <a href="/wiki/Batman" title="Batman">Batman</a>. </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/DC_Universe" title="DC Universe">DC Universe</a>, the Joker is portrayed as a criminal mastermind and the antithesis of Batman in personality and appearance. He was introduced as a <a href="/wiki/Psychopathy" title="Psychopathy">psychopath</a> with a warped, <a href="/wiki/Sadistic_personality_disorder" title="Sadistic personality disorder">sadistic</a> sense of humor but became a comical prankster in the late 1950s in response to regulation by the <a href="/wiki/Comics_Code_Authority" title="Comics Code Authority">Comics Code Authority</a>, before returning to his darker roots during the early 1970s. The Joker has been part of defining Batman stories, including the murder of <a href="/wiki/Jason_Todd" title="Jason Todd">Jason Todd</a>—the second <a href="/wiki/Robin_(character)" title="Robin (character)">Robin</a> and Batman's ward—in "<a href="/wiki/A_Death_in_the_Family_(comics)" title="A Death in the Family (comics)">A Death in the Family</a>" (1988) and the paralysis of <a href="/wiki/Barbara_Gordon" title="Barbara Gordon">Barbara Gordon</a>—the first <a href="/wiki/Batgirl" title="Batgirl">Batgirl</a>—in <i><a href="/wiki/Batman:_The_Killing_Joke" title="Batman: The Killing Joke">The Killing Joke</a></i> (1988). Unlike many supervillains, the Joker does not have a definitive <a href="/wiki/Origin_story" title="Origin story">origin story</a>, but various possible ones have been developed. The most common story involves him falling into a tank of chemical waste that bleaches his skin chalk-white, turns his hair and eyes cobalt-green and lips ruby-red, and <a href="/wiki/Spasm" title="Spasm">spasms</a> his face that left him with a <a href="/wiki/Risus_sardonicus" title="Risus sardonicus">rictus</a> and unidentifiable by any means; the resulting disfigurement drives him insane. </p><p>The Joker possesses no superhuman abilities, instead using his expertise in chemical engineering to develop poisonous or lethal concoctions and thematic weaponry, including razor-tipped <a href="/wiki/Playing_card" title="Playing card">playing cards</a>, deadly <a href="/wiki/Joy_buzzer" title="Joy buzzer">joy buzzers</a>, and acid-spraying lapel flowers. The Joker sometimes works with other <a href="/wiki/Gotham_City" title="Gotham City">Gotham City</a> supervillains, such as the <a href="/wiki/Penguin_(character)" title="Penguin (character)">Penguin</a> and <a href="/wiki/Two-Face" title="Two-Face">Two-Face</a>, and groups like the <a href="/wiki/Injustice_Gang" class="mw-redirect" title="Injustice Gang">Injustice Gang</a> and <a href="/wiki/Injustice_League" class="mw-redirect" title="Injustice League">Injustice League</a>, but these relationships often collapse due to the Joker's desire for unbridled chaos. A romantic interest for the Joker, his former psychiatrist and sidekick <a href="/wiki/Harley_Quinn" title="Harley Quinn">Harley Quinn</a>, was introduced in the 1990s. Although his primary obsession is Batman, the Joker has also fought other heroes, including <a href="/wiki/Superman" title="Superman">Superman</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wonder_Woman" title="Wonder Woman">Wonder Woman</a>. </p><p>One of the most iconic characters in popular culture, the Joker has been listed among the greatest comic book villains and fictional characters ever created. His likeness has appeared on merchandise such as clothing and collectible items, and he has inspired real-world structures (such as theme park attractions) and been referenced in various media. The Joker has been adapted in live-action, animated, and video game incarnations. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Creation_and_development">Creation and development</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Concept">Concept</h3></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1237032888/mw-parser-output/.tmulti">.mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner{display:flex;flex-direction:column}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{display:flex;flex-direction:row;clear:left;flex-wrap:wrap;width:100%;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{margin:1px;float:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .theader{clear:both;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;align-self:center;background-color:transparent;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbcaption{background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-left{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-right{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-center{text-align:center}@media all and (max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbinner{width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:none!important;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{justify-content:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{float:none!important;max-width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle .thumbcaption{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow>.thumbcaption{text-align:center}}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}</style><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:342px;max-width:342px"><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:155px;max-width:155px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:224px;overflow:hidden"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Jerry-Robinson-Joker-Sketch-Card.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Sketch of a playing card with a grinning Joker" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/68/Jerry-Robinson-Joker-Sketch-Card.jpg/153px-Jerry-Robinson-Joker-Sketch-Card.jpg" decoding="async" width="153" height="225" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/68/Jerry-Robinson-Joker-Sketch-Card.jpg/230px-Jerry-Robinson-Joker-Sketch-Card.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/68/Jerry-Robinson-Joker-Sketch-Card.jpg 2x" data-file-width="260" data-file-height="382" /></a></span></div></div><div class="tsingle" style="width:183px;max-width:183px"><div class="thumbimage" style="height:224px;overflow:hidden"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Man_Who_Laughs_-_Conrad_Veidt_as_Gwynplaine.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="A young man looks away from the camera with a stretched-wide smile" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/The_Man_Who_Laughs_-_Conrad_Veidt_as_Gwynplaine.jpg/181px-The_Man_Who_Laughs_-_Conrad_Veidt_as_Gwynplaine.jpg" decoding="async" width="181" height="225" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/The_Man_Who_Laughs_-_Conrad_Veidt_as_Gwynplaine.jpg/272px-The_Man_Who_Laughs_-_Conrad_Veidt_as_Gwynplaine.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/The_Man_Who_Laughs_-_Conrad_Veidt_as_Gwynplaine.jpg/362px-The_Man_Who_Laughs_-_Conrad_Veidt_as_Gwynplaine.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2417" data-file-height="3000" /></a></span></div></div></div><div class="trow" style="display:flex"><div class="thumbcaption">(<i>left</i>) <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Robinson" title="Jerry Robinson">Jerry Robinson</a>'s 1940 concept sketch of the Joker.
