“I have given a name to my pain, and it is Batman.”
“Tell me something, my friend. You ever dance with the devil by the pale moonlight?”
The Joker from the 1989 Batman movie
The Clown Prince of Crime, The Harlequin of Hate, The Ace of Knaves. Some characters got on this list because they are somewhat clever, but this villain makes the list because he is completely insane. The Joker is one of Batman’s most morbid, reoccurring, devious, and crazy foe. He started in DC Comics in 1940 in one of the first Batman issue. This crazy and villainous clown because quite popular and even is today. He is almost as well known as Batman himself. The Joker is a crime ‘mastermind’ (if one can be a mastermind and insane at the same time) in the streets of Gotham City.
Joker started his criminal career as the first Red Hood. When trying to escape Batman, he fell into a large vat of chemicals (like other Batman villains). He survived but his skin was now white, his hair green, his face with an huge grin, and totally, completely, and utterly crazy. He now loves the pain of others and hates Batman with a passion.
The Joker is most certainly evil, and he doesn’t need a reason to be. He just is, and he likes it that way. He murders just for the fun of it and enjoys it when he causes suffering. Though he is indeed completely off the wall, he is also smart and clever. He is a tricky criminal. He can pull a great heist as well as lay a good trap. Joker has caught Batman and other heroes off guard numerous times. He manipulates events and people into causing the havoc he wants. Whenever the Joker is around, there’s trouble. But you can never tell what kind of trouble. He is as Unpredictable as he is insane.
No one but the Joker can put a city in danger and make it look humorous. Other than being Batman’s greatest foe, the Joker rocks because he’s just such a fun character. He’s so insane its funny and entertaining. We can’t like him because he’s a murderer but, even more so, we can’t spot liking him because of his crazy criminal clown attitude. He’s entertaining, funny and a great villain.

HAhahahaha!!! The list is already at #2 and the great Joker takes his place close to the very top. This homicidal maniac is definitely one of the greatest villians of all time.
MAn, with joker, Magneto, Venom and Lex Luthor all ready on the list, I can't wait to see who beat them for the #1 spot.
Mark hammell's very best work was the voice of the Joker.
