The Joker is regarded as one of the greatest villains, not just in Batman comics or even just in the DC Universe, but in comic book history. The Joker is brilliant, ruthless, and cunning, but more than anything else, he’s totally insane - and his level of insanity is always in flux. Sometimes the Joker is presented as a deranged serial killer, while other times he’s more of a practical joker. But the one thing the Joker is not is sane - at least, until he is.

The Joker is such an unpredictable character that there are moments in DC lore where he has actually regained his sanity (as if he ever had it to begin with). But, in all honesty, the Joker’s sanity is just an aspect of his insanity, as the Joker acting sane is more insane than his usual brand of insanity. And these...

Almost everyone, both readers and characters, want to know the origin of The Joker, and DC has finally given readers enough information to figure out who he truly was. While The Joker is one of the most mysterious characters around, he is still just a man and does have a past. While DC has tried to avoid giving direct answers to his identity for a while, they have offered a few hints to his true identity and have even gone further and explained exactly how the Joker became the mysterious maniac that he is today.

The origin of the Joker is something that fans and characters have been trying to figure out for decades. The mysterious Clown Prince of Crime simply appeared in Gotham City one day and started causing absolute chaos, with a seeming fixation on the caped crusader. For decades, people have been trying to figure out who...

When it comes to the supervillains of DC, it doesn't get any better than Batman villains. Representing the diabolical best of the dim, gritty, and disturbing Batman's Gotham City setting, these delinquents stand in perfect opposition to the crime-fighting Caped Crusader; whereas the world of Superman is exemplified by shining heroics.

Gotham is defined by the evildoers that terrorize it from within its deepest shadows. What makes them stand out is that they are all just a few shades of gray away from the Dark Knight himself. That, and they enjoy dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight. Batman has faced tons of horrific villains over the years who have pushed him to the absolute limit, and these are the top 35 villains that Batman and fans will always remember.

In collaboration with DC Comics, McFarlane Toys has perfectly recreated the iconic moment of the Joker's origin, with a variant cover showcasing Red Hood's infamous fall into a vat of chemicals.

The defining moment for arch DC villain The Joker is perfectly recreated with action figures in a new variant cover by McFarlane Toys, depicting the scene in which the original Red Hood transforms into one of Batmans most terrifying villains, falling into toxic chemicals and thus becoming the Clown Prince of Crime. The day Joker was...

Batman's no-kill rule applies to the Joker, showing his dedication to non-lethal tactics. A future story introduces a heroic descendant of the Joker, highlighting legacy and hope. Batman believes in the potential for positive change, opting for the future over immediate justice.

One of the most iconic pieces of Batman lore is his no-kill rule, which has always applied to the Joker. No matter how rough and dark Batman gets as a hero, his abstaining from murder is the one line in the sand Batman has maintained to separate himself from those he's fighting against. And he won't budge on this issue, even when it comes to the maniacal super-criminal Joker.

While there is a lot of debate as to the tactics of Batman, he may be justified in preserving the Joker's life. Back in the Golden Age of the Dark Knight, a futuristic (and heroic) descendant of the Joker...

The following contains spoilers for the first three episodes of Suicide Squad Isekai.

When fans first saw the trailer for Suicide Squad Isekai, it definitely created an urgent hunger. DC has done anime in the past, such as Batman Ninja. Here, Wit Studio doesn't dive into the past or other chapters in Earth's history -- it takes the anti-heroes to another world.

This idea of visiting other realms, (aka Isekai), has been a major sub-genre in anime, so it's a smart move by DC to capture consumers of comics, anime and manga. With that in mind, here is the full breakdown of the cast and character guide as Task Force X visits a new land for a very different war.

Batman has had many love interests, but Catwoman remains his one true love across various universes. Bruce Wayne has had complex relationships with various women, many of which have ended in tragedy. Batman has sought companionship through romantic connections, showcasing his desire for love despite his loner image.

Batman is nearly the literal definition of a Gothic prince, which is why it's no wonder he's gotten so much romantic attention over the years. There seem to be plenty of prerequisites to being a superhero, such as needing a tragic backstory or a freak accident that results in powers. The other prerequisite of being a superhero is being absurdly attractive, as Bruce Wayne — and his many love interests — proves.

Nothing makes for more tragedy and high-stakes stories than romance. Over the decades, Batman has been involved with many different women, and they've all had a major impact on his life in different ways.

Joker's origins as the Red Hood are a recurring part of his history, and have been explored in various comics over the years – with an upcoming Batman arc promising to return to this shifting narrative ground once more. The original story of the Red Hood involves a lab worker who transformed into the Joker after diving into a vat of chemicals to escape Batman. The Red Hood Gang's reappearance suggests that Joker will never truly escape his connection to them, emphasizing the tragedy of his origins.

Before the mantle of "Red Hood" was taken up by the resurrected Jason Todd, DC's chaotic uber-villain Joker was the first to go by that name. As DC plans to further explore Joker's relationship to the Red Hood moniker, now is the perfect time to look back on exactly on Joker's earliest days as the Red Hood, and his connection to the Red Hood Gang.

For "The Dark Knight Trilogy," director Christopher Nolan wanted to make a "logical" Batman story. That meant not only crafting an internal psychology for Bruce Wayne but also dragging the mechanics and aesthetics of his world down to reality. There's a reason the films spend so much time explaining how Batman's gear works (Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) is turned into the Q to Batman's James Bond) and turn Gotham City from a Gothic metropolis into basically just Chicago with a different name.

This mandate for realism shaped the other characters in Batman's world, especially his villains. In "The Dark Knight," the Joker's (Heath Ledger) clown visage — white skin, green hair, ruby lips — is only makeup. His disfigurement is a Glasgow smile; Ledger's Joker frowns a lot more than in the comics, but those scars mean he never stops smiling.

Ledger's performance is now legendary for how he immersed himself in the role; before shooting,...

The Joker is one of the most terrifying comic book supervillains ever conceived, and he's also one of the oldest. While the Clown Prince of Crime prefers to keep as much of his life hidden as possible - all the better to truly embody the spirit of chaos - there have been some major moments that have come to define him to fans.

In his time as Batman's nemesis, Joker has been everything from a serial killer to a harmless prankster, and yet every so often he makes a move so big, it comes to define him in wider pop culture and DC lore. Here, then, are the 10 moments that defined the Joker for DC fans, and which continue to influence his stories today.

Joker's Debut

Joker's first appearance was way back in 1940's Batman #1 by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Sheldon Moldoff. This was the start of Batman's own series,...

Batman has one of the largest rogues gallery in all comic book history, but one villain stands above all else: The Joker. The Joker is a character that has existed for almost a hundred years at this point, but he wasn't always the Clown Prince of Crime he is today.

With how iconic the Joker is for his relationship with Batman, many people would assume that he has been there since the start, but the villain didn't actually show up for over a year after Batman was created. The Joker of today is scary, vicious, and one of the darker serial killers in comics, but it has not always been that way. Joker's multifaceted nature would be developed a lot over the years: while he started as a ruthless killer he was later turned into a harmless prankster, then back to a much darker villain.

Pablo Ferro, who is known for his distinct title design and work in graphic design, died of complications from pneumonia Friday in Sedona, Arizona. The award-winning designer was 83.

Born on January 15, 1935 in Cuba, Ferro, a self-taught artist became known for eye-catching and stylized title design in film which included iconic films including Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange and Dr. Strangelove as well as others such as Bullitt, Men In Black, and Married to the Mob. During the mid-’50s he worked in animation before working with Disney animator Tytla who would become his mentor. He also worked with the would-be legend Stan Lee on a series of sci-fi and adventure comics.

In 1961, Ferro and fellow artists Fred Mogubgub and Lew Schwartz partnered to create their own company. Ferro then went on to create Pablo Ferro Films.

Ferro became a trailblazer when it came to montage-like title sequences, creative stylistic typefaces and quick-cut editing.

Pablo Ferro, who designed the title sequences for classic films like Stanley Kubrick’s “Dr. Strangelove,” “Bullitt,” “Men In Black,” and “A Clockwork Orange,” has died from complications from pneumonia in Sedona, Ariz. He was 83.

Ferro’s family confirmed the news to industry publication the Art of the Title.

Cuban-born Ferro’s first title sequence was for “Dr. Strangelove,” and featured cards that were hand-lettered with grease pencil on glass. Another of his early notable title sequences was for 1968’s “The Thomas Crowne Affair,” directed by Norman Jewison.

Ferro, who was born on a farm in Antilla and moved to New York in his teens, began as an illustrator for Atlas Comics and worked with Stan Lee on a series of science fiction adventure comics. From there, he got a job with Academy Pictures, eventually becoming an animator for the company, before transitioning to work for Elektra Films on sophisticated commercials.
