Story
No one knows the true story of Batman'sarch enemy. It is thought that the Joker was originally an unnamed chemist who planned to quit it job to become a comedian. When that fell through, he soon found himself working with a gang of criminals who were planning to rob the Ace Chemical factory, and gave him the identity of the Red Hood. At first not wanting to go through with it, the the criminals forced to him to participate by killing his pregnant wife. On the night of the robbery, the police and Batman showed up to prevent the theft. the shock of seeing the Dark Knight caused the Red Hood to stumble off the catwalk into a vat of chemicals. Swimming out of the vat via a tube that led to a nearby lake, the Red Hood was horrified to discover that the chemicals had bleached his skin, dyed his hear green, and stained his lips red. This transformation, coupled with the murder of his wife and unborn child, shattered his mind, and thus was born the Joker, the most terrifying villain in the DC Universe. (Note: this is the character's origin in the graphic novel, the Killing Joke.
