Biography:
The Killing Joke is a story arc featuring the iconic DC Comics villain, The Joker, and his nemesis, Batman. The Killing Joke comic was first released in 1988.
While The Joker's origins have remained deliberately vague, The Killing Joke presents a possible backstory. It portrays him as a struggling stand-up comedian who, desperate to provide for his pregnant wife, agrees to assist criminals in a heist. This goes horribly wrong; his wife and unborn child are killed in an accident, and he is forced to jump into a vat of chemical waste to escape the authorities.
The chemicals bleach his skin white, turn his hair green, and permanently warp his mind, transforming him into the Clown Prince of Crime. The Killing Joke delves into the psychological underpinnings of The Joker's madness and explores the thin line between sanity and insanity, challenging Batman's own methods and morals.
The Killing Joke sees The Joker attempting to prove that anyone can be driven insane with 'one bad day'. To prove his point he commits acts of violence towards Commissioner Gordon and Barbara Gordon.
