Warning! the following contains spoilers about some comics.
Origin in reality:
The Joker, translated as "The Joker" or "The Joker" is one of the most popular and dangerous villains of the DC universe. It is also the direct antithesis of the Man Bat. It is characterized by the appearance of a clown (pale, creepy smile, red, green hair). He is responsible for many tragedies in Batman's personal life, such as the paralysis of Barbara Gordon and the death of Jason Todd (the second Robin). First appeared in 1940, for the comic book Batman # 1 . (Now part of collectors. There are only seven copies worldwide.)
the concept of this character was created by art assistant Jerry Robinson, who was inspired by watching a wild-card English deck of cards. Account Robinson that his brother was champion Bridge during college, then it was common to see cards in your family always, also adding that satire and humor were his favorite elements of a story, saw the Joker the villain who was looking for. Totally different from the villains were getting used in the comics for those years (mad scientists, bank robbers, gangsters, kidnappers). Then he informed the writer of Batman, Bill Finger, his idea, and it this concept reminded him of the character played by Conrad Veidt in the film The Man Who Laughs 1928, based on the novel by Victor Hugo. After an initial meeting where the proposal would be the character, Finger took photographs of the film for Bob Kane on paper dictate the physical aspect which would have "The Joker. Under this concept I wanted to create an evil criminal genius, to make use of black humor and get used to leaving their victims with a grotesque smile and stamp their crimes (other than the wild card classic we all know.)
However, the origin of the character creation has long been a subject of debate since the source changes as the operator that the recount. Bob Kane Jerry Robinson said that had little to do with it, and discredit upon their creation: "The Joker became my biggest villain and archenemy of Batman, with a ratio as classic as that of Sherlock Holmes with Professor Moriarty, but Jerry Robinson claimed as his creation. Jerry just came with the picture of a letter with a Joker card that looked like a fool court, we use the letter in the first story of The Joker, and in the following, as a symbol that he left after committing a crime. But Jerry actually drew this letter after Bill Finger and I create the character. "
addition, Kane is credited the idea of \u200b\u200bthe concept: "The idea came from cards that did tricks for my friends in my youth, we were trying to create a super and I had some sketches based raw Joker in this deck of cards that showed him Bill, he loved the concept and began to throw ideas about a compulsive murderer every time you play deadly pranks Batman. "" A week later, Bill came with a photograph of Conrad Veidt ... "" This is the true story of how The Joker was created, I have no doubt that Jerry is sincere in his belief that his creation, but I think it is because he wore long memories. "
this kind of conflict between Bob Kane and their creative partners, not only took place in creating this character. Bill Finger was never credited as co-creator of Batman until after his death in 1974, and has always been the classic "Batman: created by Bob Kane "and not" by Bob Kane and Bill Finger "as always should have been. Finger died in rags. Jerry Robinson has on this matter: "We were almost every day, often with Bill. We went out to dinner or lunch and talk nonstop comic book, ideas for the series and characters. I thought that was part of the group. Unfortunately Bob did not believe it, especially on Bill. Should be recognized as co-creator Bill, I know, I was there. The Joker was my creation, and Bill wrote the first history of the Joker from my concept. Bill created all the other characters ... The Penguin, The Riddler, Catwoman. It was very innovative. Slogans ... Dynamic Duo, Gotham City ... all was the brainchild of Bill Finger. "
The story of its creation in reality is as complicated as its origin in fiction, the truth is that after his first appearance in Batman # 1 . The character got a excited as sudden as the Dark Knight - Joker Our character would only be an episode -. With the passage of time and the evolution of the universe of Batman, the Joker not only became the archenemy of the Dark Knight, but basically had two different incarnations over this. The original perspective was that of a criminal psychopath sadistic tendencies and a sense offbeat humor under pataphysical intentions. Then influenced the representation of a careless thief, eccentric (sometimes mannered) and of little gadgets that made use of. Popularized in the 50's and 60's, but had its peak with the television series, Batman , mid 60's, played by Cesar Romero. And curiously was this representation, more slapstick, who gave him more fame.
was not until 1973, when the original concept came to make their own, with the comic The Five Revenge of the Joker (Batman # 251), by Dennis O'Neil. It was then in the 70's born the concept of an obsessive Joker in Batman sees more than a police authority figure, and makes it part of your entertainment center. And from the 80's authors such as Frank Miller, Alan Moore and Grant Morrison returned to the psychopath and dark criminal now, because the interpretation Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight , thanks to a lot of comics extraordinary among whom I dare to point out, "The return of the Dark Knight" (1986), "The Killing Joke" (1988), "A Death in the Family" (1989), "Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth "(1989)," The Man Who Laughs "(2005) and" Joker "(2008), have become has this character in the influential villain in the history of comics, and even, on occasion, has been considered the number one villain in all literature, after Dracula.
For English translation, the first name that was given was "The Joker", translated as the Mexican publisher Navaro, who was the main exporter of the Man Bat comics in our language, from the 50's to 80's. But in the 60's was the CINSA television company, who is doing the dubbing of television comedy used the translation of "The Joker" for the character, is the translation being better received by readers and public speaking. For the cartoon made by Hanna-Barbera; The Super Friends, the name attached was "The Joker", however other cartoons used the CINSA implemented. It was not until the mid-80's when the multinational companies in English comic book character decided to leave the original name, The Joker. Source
in fiction:
Although he first appeared in Batman # 1 in that comic do not give a source, only tells one of his crimes that ended with him about to fall off a building and rescuing Batman and later put to jail. The Joker would become a character with a mysterious origin, completely unknown, no name or background. It was not until 1988 when the famed writer Alan Moore wrote The Killing Joke (The Killing Joke). In this graphic novel, Moore delves previously written a story called Finger Man Red Hood after giving a birth to the Joker (via flashbacks), or rather, a possible origin as the Joker himself admits to not knowing who was and always reinventing their history.
The Killing Joke tells the story of an anonymous engineer who left his job at a chemical plant, to pursue what I always wanted to be a comedian, which does not work. Under the need to raise money for his pregnant wife, agrees to lead thieves through the chemical plant where he worked. While planning the robbery at a bar, a police officer approaches you to give bad news, his wife had just died electrocuted in a household accident. The engineer tried to get out of that plan, but the robbers did not let him. Once on the ground, give thieves a costume and call themselves "red hood." But almost immediately detected by the guards and the robbers are killed by gunfire. At that moment appears Batman and the engineer is thrown into a chemical mixture which escapes through a tube. Once outside, he realizes that the chemicals disfigured his face giving the appearance of a clown, and then it goes crazy for all that had happened.
In Batman 1989 - Tim Burton film -. This source fits on a character named Jack Napier, a criminal psychopath who worked for the mob boss Carl Grissom. During the robbery of a chemical plant, Napier Batman appears and confronts him, but this falls in chemical mixtures, once outside his appearance changed. For many fans of Mr. J, this source was not very pleasant, although the film was a success. It also said that on that tape you can see the death of the character played by Jack Nicholson.
the mid-nineties, the source returns to be altered in the comic "case study" of the Batman saga black and white. It argues a discussion on a report from two psychologists, which is about the madness of the Joker. Giving room for the possibility that our criminal is not at all crazy and rather discreet enough to pretend that his madness to mask their criminal mind (meaning they could be prosecuted and sentenced to the death penalty). Likewise talk about a mobster always got his and has never been caught by the police, until one day he meets Batman and jumps to escape a mixture of chemicals. This source is closer to the 1989 film, since the argument is to declare an sane Joker with an insatiable thirst for revenge. Yes, shit. But as in The Killing Joke , nothing is fully as true, and it turns out that report was written by Dr. Harley Quinzel.
In 2007, the number Batman Confidential, adapted from another source. This time a murderer named Jack that after having a pleasant conversation with a waitress named Harley and a meeting with the Man Bat he made his first Joker style crimes with the intention of competing with the night watchman, and he feels influenced by it. Realizing that Batman can not entrap furiente because his girlfriend was wounded in the crossfire, he decides to make a deal with the mafia to capture him. After being caught and beaten by these criminals Jack falls into a tank in the manufacture of anti psychotic and madness comes to him to become the great clown of crime. Yes, more shit.
the year 2008 in the hit movie by Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight . The Joker by Heath Ledger, heavily influenced by the original concept, has no specific origin. During the This film has two different accounts of how he got his scars. Also in this film the origin of this criminal is a mystery, no history, no name, no nothing. For many, this latest interpretation of the Crime Clown, marks a new "before and after" in its history. Therefore the idea of \u200b\u200ba Joker without origin or name again would be as successful, what has always made it interesting (since we all know who is Batman, but not who he is) and, furthermore, is as it always has been really.
Maybe his name is Jack, maybe not. Perhaps this sane or maybe not. Can that was once a criminal nicknamed "Red Hood" may have been an excellent mafioso. The truth is that it always has reinvented its origin and leaving out some details of some creative not very successful, its origin could be a mystery even to him. The Joker has made theirs in both fiction and reality, and is likely to never allow his mind to teach who was or who he really is, and is the best.
