The Joker, Clown Prince of Crime, is Batman's arch-nemesis. An agent of chaos known for his malicious plots, wacky gadgets and insidious smile, he has caused Batman more suffering than any other villain he has ever faced. His origin, name, and true motivations remain a mystery.
@Sheep-Kill: Agree. But I did like how he looked in "Joker"...though I hated how that book was written. He also looked pretty awesome in Hush. That first time you see him above Thomas Elliot's "body" just really creeps me out. Sam Keith does some interesting work on him from time to time too, idk I like it when people do fresh takes on the character from time to time too...
While everyone will list off Lee Bermejo, Frazier Irving, Tony Daniels, Alex Ross, etc etc etc all day long...and none of you are necessarily wrong at all for that...I personally love Doug Mahnke's visage of The Joker most. There is something about the detail in it that makes it almost simplistic. The line work is incredibly crisp, leaving the viewer to notice the features of Joker's face more than overcompensating any form of sadism and insanity by adding a ton of layer and depth to it.
