Joker in the Batman animated series
In the Batman animated series, a character named The Joker was introduced. He was a villain and a mastermind who wanted to destroy Gotham City. He was also an expert in the art of crime and a master of disguise.
The Joker is one of the most iconic villains in Batman’s history, but he’s also one of the most misunderstood ones. The character has been interpreted in many different ways by different artists, but there are some things that are consistent about him: he is always looking for ways to make people laugh (even if it means hurting them), he likes to toy with his opponents before finishing them off, and he has no problem killing anyone who gets in his way.
