Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill) is Batman's greatest nemesis and a super-criminal hailing from Gotham City. Pooh's Adventures of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
History[]
Not much is known about how the Joker came to be, there are various origins as who he once was.
In one such origin story, he was a hitman going by the alias of Jack Napier who notably worked with men like Chuckie Sol, Buzz Bronsky, and Sal Valestra. One night, he led a group of his fellow mobsters in a hit on the Ace Chemical plant. During the raid, things went awry when the thugs encountered Batman. A fight broke out between Batman and Napier that ended with the latter falling into a vat of chemicals that disfigured him. The chemicals dyed his skin white, his hair green, and stained his lips a permanent red. The first sight of his new look broke his mind.
A few years after this encounter, Jack quickly made a name for himself as the Joker, and caused enough trouble for Gotham to catch the attention of Batman, who'd pummel the clown black and blue before throwing him into Arkham Asylum.
Undeterred, however, Joker would always find a way to break out of Arkham and wreak all kinds of chaos upon Gotham while pushing Batman's limits, attempting to see how far he can go before the Dark Knight would snap and break his "one rule".
