The Joker



Batman series


The Joker is Batman's main enemy. He is based upon a clown and is a very dangerous criminal. Little is known about his history, but it's been confirmed that Harley Quinn, former psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum, helped him escape and even turned her back on the asylum in order to serve Joker.

Batman: Arkham Asylum
In Batman: Arkham Asylum, The Joker escaped from Arkham Asylum, Harley Quinn helping him. He had an entire plan worked out, and Batman fell for it. Joker got caught by the superhero again, just like the criminal wanted. At the asylum, Joker got away and attacked a few Arkham guards. In his escape, he released many other inmates that were held on the island, like Poison Ivy, Bane and Killer Croc.

Biography
''The self-styled Clown Prince of Crime has no superpowers, beyond a capacity for incredible violence and a skill at creating deadly mayhem. He frequently concocts elaborate schemes to entrap his arch nemesis, Batman.''

Psychological profile
By Dr. Young - ''My most challenging patient at Arkham.The Joker's derangement defies easy classification. His rapidly changing mood swings hint at borderline personality disorder, but he has no trace of associated identity problems. He also displays signs of deep narcissism, but nonetheless he has a well-developed sense of others, as his ability to manipulate everyone from orderlies to doctors in Arkham is extraordinarily well-developed; he also shows all the signs of a highly functioning sufferer of antisocial personality. At times I actually wonder if he is actually insane at all.''

#1

Dr. Young: Taped patient interview. Subject has no recorded name, alias listed as the Joker. In the room is Warden Sharp and myself, Dr. Young. Joker: (Ugh) is this another one of those boring psych evaluation tests? Dr. Young: No, it’s not. So, you're the famous Joker. Joker: In the flesh. So Doc, do you want me to look at the ink blots again? The first one is a kitten I had when I was a child. The second one is, hmmm, let's see... a dead elephant. The third is a... Dr. Young: Very funny. Now let’s skip the jokes. Joker: Skip the jokes? Hey, Sharpie, didn’t she get my permanent record? Warden Sharp: Be quiet, clown! Dr. Young: Every doctor that has ever interviewed you claims a different type of psychosis. Everything from multiple personality disorders to well... the list is endless. Joker: (soft giggle) Well, I do my best. Dr. Young: Well, I don’t believe it. Anything can be cured with the correct treatment. Joker: And... you think... you can cure me? Dr. Young: Oh, I know I can.
