History

Joker was at first the original Red Hood. As a botch robbery at Ace Chemicals, he was confronted by Batman. Red Hood attempted to get out of it by pleading him, but accidentally stumbled on his red cape and fell into a vat of chemicals. This left the criminal with green hair, bright red lips and clear white skin alongside losing all of his sanity. He then continued his life as the Clown Prince of Crime.

Joker was hired by Ra's al Ghul to distract Batman and his sidekick, Jason Todd the second Robin, while Ra's carries out his terrorist plans to destroy the world economy. Joker manages to knock out Todd and takes him to a warehouse far away from Batman, beating him aggressively with a Crowbar and then left him to die with a Bomb. Feeling guilty for his death, Ra's revived Todd with the Lazarus Pit.

Years later, Jason returned to Gotham City with the new identity as Red Hood and became a crime lord, purposely taking Joker's previous identity in order to attract his attention. After his first encounter with the murderous criminal, Batman and Nightwing arrive at Arkham Asylum to find out more about him with Joker who claims they have no connection.

When Red Hood tries to murder him, Black Mask hires Joker as a hitman to take out Red Hood. Joker manages to kidnap Hood's eight under-bosses including Black Mask to gain his attention, Joker killed the under-bosses with a lighter inside an Oil Tanker. Red Hood then captures Joker and brings him to Crime Alley.

Batman and Red Hood fight, then Jason reveals he has kidnapped Joker to him. Jason attempts to force Batman to either murder him or the Joker, Batman refuses the offer and a bomb was detonated in an attempt to kill them all. Batman managed to save himself, Joker and Jason. While Jason escapes, Batman manages to return Joker to Arkham.
