10 Things You Need To Know About The Joker

As one of the most portrayed, most recognizable and most talked-about comic book villains of all-time, The Joker is quite simply one of the biggest, most impactful characters to come out of the medium. Readers and viewers never seem to stop finding him fascinating - which is why yet another version of the character will soon hit cinema screens in the form of Jared Leto’s tattooed, day glo-haired demon in David Ayer's Suicide Squad.

Being such a popular breakout character and given the proliferation of comic book crossovers, the Joker has teamed up with and fought various unlikely characters over the years.

Some of the non-DC properties he’s crossed paths with include Judge Dredd, Scooby Doo (in cartoon form and comic books) and even a face-hugging Xenomorph. A memorable one was the time he went up against the Punisher. Unlike Batman, Frank Castle had no qualms about killing the Joker and would have, too – if it wasn’t for that meddling Caped Crusader.

Joker has also teamed up with some crossover characters. In the Amalgam comics universe that mixed DC and Marvel characters, Joker became Hyena – a blend of him and Sabretooth who fought Dark Claw AKA Batman/Wolverine. He’s also joined forces with Carnage and even worn the Mask (you know, the one from the Jim Carrey movie).
