Biography:
Joker (Noir) is a character from DC Comics' Elseworlds imprint, specifically the graphic novel "Batman: Gotham Noir" by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. This version reimagines the Joker within the hard-boiled, crime-ridden setting of 1950s Gotham City.
Unlike the classic Joker, he is not a cackling psychopath. Instead, he operates as a subtle, sinister information broker. He possesses a vast network of informants and connections throughout the city's underworld and corrupt elite. He trades information, often playing different factions against each other for his own amusement and profit.
His appearance is more understated than his mainstream counterpart. He is typically portrayed as sharply dressed, with a pale complexion and a subtle, unsettling smile. The green hair is gone, replaced by something more natural. He retains a sense of theatricality, but it's carefully calculated, designed to disarm and manipulate.
In "Gotham Noir," the Joker acts as a key player in the mystery surrounding the death of socialite Madeline Wallace. He provides Batman (who is a private investigator in this story) with clues and insights, though his motives remain ambiguous. He is a dangerous and enigmatic figure, a reflection of the darkness and moral ambiguity that permeates Gotham's underbelly.
