Joker
Cackling Gotham villain
The Joker is Batman's archnemesis in DC Comics—a criminal mastermind with clown makeup and a maniacal laugh who first appeared in 1940.
The character has become iconic through comics, television, and film, often portrayed as chaos personified: He dressed as the Joker for Halloween. (Lowercase joker is someone who jokes or a playing card.)
