    Joker

    Character » Joker appears in 4210 issues.

    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.

    So...is he ever coming back?

    It's been nearly 10 months since the Joker's last appearance (and supposed death). And there's still no talks of him returning in the next few months' issues of any Batcomics. I highly doubt they'd ever truly kill off the Joker but I'm starting to wonder when we'll see him again (or at least have all of the characters receive absolute confirmation that he is alive).

    Also, I'm wondering if this whole having his face removed thing will affect the Joker's character or appearance for a long period of time when he does return.

    @SupBatz: It is interesting, ten months must be one of the longest dry spells for him to appear in the DC universe.  I am sure that face removal story is not over yet.

    Of course he'll come back, it's just a matter of when. But when he does, I'll expect he's going to make a grand entry. I just hope it's not written by Tony Daniel.

    He is definitely still around. In Batman #1, Dick pretends to be him in that fight with the other inmates at Arkham. Gordon then asks Batman if it was really what it looked like with the Joker helping him? So even though it wasn't really him, I think we can assume that he is really around somewhere since all the inmates and Gordon thought Dick was really the Joker.
