CHARACTERS - THE JOKER

The Joker
Voiced By: Kevin Michael Richardson
First Appearance: "The Bat in the Belfry"
Position: Criminal

Bio (Official): The arch nemesis of The Batman, Joker is a maniacal harlequin whose bizarre appearance and unerring instinct for the absurd have earned him a reputation as "the most dangerous criminal in the annals of crime." For Joker, each transgression he commits is an elaborate joke in which he tries to leave his victims dying with laughter - literally. More than any other enemy, Joker becomes inextricably linked to The Batman, as the crazed clown's plots begin to take increasingly more personal tolls on our crime fighter.

Bio: "All it takes is one, rotten, day to transform a normal man into a monster! ...Well in my case, a rotten day AND a chemical bath."

Wanting nothing more than to make people laugh while he was still sane, Joker was born when he fell into a vat of chemicals. Rising out of the vat, he was transformed into the crazy, laughing and white-skinned clown that's a constant thorn in Batman's side.
