Practically Joker	comment	Just as Batman is one of the most popular superheroes of all time, his Arch-Enemy the Joker is one of the most popular supervillains. And much like how the Batman Parody is an Expy of Batman, the Practically Joker is modeled after the Clown Prince of Crime. A chaotic and unhinged villain with a tendency for slasher smiles and a usually bombastic attitude, the Practically Joker tends to have at least a few of the following traits: They're a Monster Clown, usually accompanied with a macabre sense of humor and a Faux Affably Evil act. Dress in loud colors, like purple and/or green. Are completely Ax-Crazy, to a point where other villains are disturbed by them. May or may not be pure evil. They commit evil acts just because they feel like it. Believe in a Straw Nihilist philosophy or act as agents of chaos. Have a disturbing Mysterious Past, usually a Multiple-Choice Past. Try to get under the hero's skin and break or corrupt them in some way. It's worth noting that the Joker's design was largely inspired by Conrad Veidt's depiction of Gwynplaine, from the 1928 film adaptation of The Man Who Laughs. Unlike the Joker, however, Gwynplaine was a wholly good character who simply looked disturbing because of the Glasgow Grin he suffered from. A Sub-Trope of Expy. For his archnemesis see Batman Parody. To see what Joker himself has to say on the matter, see here.

He has no detailed backstory, although he is eventually revealed to be Princess Hilda's right-hand man and advisor. Although he supposedly acts to save Lorule from destruction, his actual end goal is to annihilate both it and Hyrule so he can make new worlds in his own image, just because thinks of both as "hideous".

Practically Joker / int_12300cc3	comment	Watchmen: Played with Edward Blake, a.k.a. the Comedian from the original Watchmen mini-series. While mainly an Expy of Peacemaker and a twisted version of Captain America, he takes clear inspiration from the Joker due to his psychotic and amoral personality, associations with smiles, and dark sense of humor believing the world is a joke. His alias is similar to that of "Joker". His Straw Nihilist views would be popularized as a characterization of the Joker a few years later, by the same author. That said, his humorist/jokester aesthetic is very clearly less circus clown and more Groucho Marx, sporting a thick mustache and chomping a cigar. Doomsday Clock: Marcos Maez a.k.a. Mime, along with being an Expy of Punch, takes clear inspiration from the Joker. He's a theatrical, sadistic murderer, with a Psychotic Smirk and facepaint, though is an Enemy Mime rather than a Monster Clown. His relationship with Erika Manson/Marionette is reminiscent of the Joker and Harley Quinn, though without the Domestic Abuse since they truly care for one another. The two even get recruited by the man himself, although he initially doesn't appreciate them stealing his act with their makeup.

He has Joker Immunity, which is finally explained by the revelation that he is a series of robots created by a secretly-villainous Gadgeteer Genius hero, a new one being activated whenever one is destroyed. Close to the end of the comic, all the existing robots are simultaneously activated - they proceed to destroy one another until only one is left, who announced his intention to go straight.

Practically Joker / int_17293dfa	comment	Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony provides perhaps an even more obvious example in Kokichi Ouma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader who even has something of a clown motif. He has an outrageous sense of humor and goofy attitude, displays an almost frighteningly casual attitude towards the events of the killing game and instead joyfully embraces it, actively acknowledges his evil status and enjoying the suffering of others, he constantly stirs chaos throughout the academy with his actions and often nudges others into helping him, is an intelligent talker and incredibly good at getting under people's skin, and his near impenetrable veil of lies means not a shred of his past is known for sure, except the eventual detail that he leads a clown-themed gang, only adding further to the similarity. The one big difference is that, despite all of the above, he's not actually the diabolical supervillain he brags about being. His gang of clowns is literally just that: a bunch of clowns who amuse themselves by pulling harmless pranks on random people and committing petty, nonviolent crimes.

He's a horrific sadist, a manipulative sociopath, and a homicidal maniac who enjoys killing and torturing people For the Evulz; and he especially enjoys tormenting his Arch-Enemy (The Hero, who is his absolute antithesis). While Aku is funny, bombastic and Faux Affably Evil, his Arch-Enemy is a serious, devastated, honorable man with serious anger problems. Aku is practically The Joker in the form of an Eldritch Abomination. Aku's top henchman, Scaramouche the Merciless, is another clear Joker parallel. Named after a stock jester character from Commedia Dellarte, Scaramouche is a grinning, jovial, and jocular showman who is nevertheless a deadly assassin who's unashamed of the blood on his hands, shows a proclivity for bladed weapons, and wears a colorful outfit complete with a purple coat.

Like the Joker, he's a Monster Clown that tends to make things serious, a dark-humored figure who enjoys his kills, and cracks jokes at his enemies, such as calling Trode King Toad. The 3DS remake even shows an Arthur Fleck-like depression of wanting to learn magic from Rylus,note One of the descendants of the Seven Sages who defeated and sealed away his future boss long ago though he didn't feel Dhoulmagus was ready. After a nasty scolding over reading a grimoire detailing the sealed Godbird Sceptre, he displays brilliant cunning like the Clown Prince of Crime by posing as a jester to impress King Trode so he could steal the sceptre, becoming one of Rhapthorne's nefarious servants via possession and going on a killing spree of the Seven Sages' descendants...starting with Rylus.

Practically Joker / int_22147342	comment	Arrow: Cecil Adams/The Count was stated by his actor to have his performance based off the Joker. That is, he's a complete psycho who gets off from the suffering of others. Lonnie Machin/Anarky is a Bomb Throwing Anarchist who giggles with glee as he spreads chaos and terror across the city. He's also a Combat Sadomasochist who enjoyed being burned alive and thinks of it as being reborn. Prometheus takes a lot of cues from the Joker, being the psychopathic Arch-Enemy and Evil Counterpart of The Hero who is a Batman analogue. He is deeply obsessed with ruining the hero's life, being completely devoid of humanity and dedicates his entire life to his cause, and the hero had a hand in creating them to begin with. This becomes even more apparent in Season Six where he returns as a Vertigo induced hallucination to haunt Oliver, very much like Joker did to Batman in Batman: Arkham Knight, establishing himself as the one enemy Oliver can never be truly rid of.

Practically Joker / int_2a8d8e6f	comment	Gotham: Before the series introduced the real Joker, Jerome Valeska served as the proto-Joker. A very deliberate example in this case due to the show being done by a DC-sanctioned take on Batman, so the writers were constrained by Warner Brothers' insistence that the Joker be used specifically in their DCU films. So Jerome ends up being the Joker in all but name, having his characterization derived from several different versions of the Joker and being explicitly said to be a tribute to the Clown Prince of Crime. Though originally created as a one-off possible identity of the Jokernote alongside the Red Hood gang and a morbid comedian working for Fish. However, Monaghan's performance proved so popular that Jerome was promoted to this, becoming essentially the show's take on the Joker for the first four seasons and taking on many of the iconic Joker traits. Fittingly, he was responsible for giving rise to the real Joker of Gotham. Jerome's cultists, possibly modeled on the Jokerz from the comics, also qualify. After Jerome's first outing as a terrorist, a cult develops around him that he and later, his twin brother, use in their various schemes. They all wear clown-inspired clothing and makeup, and buy into Jerome's philosophy towards life, which seems to be that there's no such thing as loyalty and goodness, anyway, so you might as well betray, kill or blow up anyone you want, and have a good time doing it. Their attitude towards betrayal comes back to bite them hard when they decide to turn on the show's real Joker after one of his schemes doesn't work, and the Joker proceeds to burn them alive for their betrayal.

Practically Joker / int_31a8701b	comment	Out of universe, Trickster I (James Jesse) from The Flash is seen as the Lighter and Softer version of the Joker, having a circus theme with all kind of toys and clown stuff used as weapons and being on the wrong side of the law. However, in-universe, they couldn't be more different; he's calm and focused, is a very moral anti-villain and Nominal Hero who abhors senseless killing, and the craziness of his persona is only seen in their robberies and acts against Flashes rather than with the Rogues. While he's sometimes depicted as having mental issues, they're portrayed sympathetically and what they are exactly is Depending on the Writer. The 'Joker stand-in' idea of him seems to mostly be inspired by The Flash (1990), which acted as a version of him, as he was played by future-Joker voice actor Mark Hamill. His successor (Axel Walker, known as Trickster II), however, is more Ax-Crazy and became more of a Circus Brat, being closer than his predecessor to the Joker. As much as Trickster is often used as one, fellow rogue Abra Kadabra is even more this, especially after Mark Waid turned him into Wally West's nemesis. He's a narcissist obsessed with the spotlight, a showman who treats all his crimes as a performance that demands people pay attention, a Psychopathic Manchild who can't stand things not going his way, and a sadist who revels in high body counts. He's obsessed with ruining Wally West's life, but rather than simply kill him, he wants to make him suffer and leave his mark as the greatest enemy of the Flash. He's essentially what would happen if Emperor Joker never got depowered, but merely had a much more limited scope of his powers. But if there is a member of the Flash's rogues gallery that can be similar to the Joker, it would be Professor Zoom or Reverse Flash (in his different incarnations). Although he does not comply with the clown theme, he still wears a colorful uniform (in this case with a color pattern opposite to that of the flash), he has a psychopathic personality and is obsessed with his hero and has dedicated his entire existence to making the life of his nemesis miserable to the point of causing several family and psychological tragedies. The parallelism between both villains is such that in the comic Flash: Rebirth, Barry himself refers to this similarity to exemplify the threat that Zoom represents.

He loves killing and serves Salem as her assassin, kidnapper, and as an agent of chaos to distract enemies from Salem's real plans and goals. Unlike the other villains, he serves Salem because he worships the chaos and evil she represents and revels in spreading it to the world. The only time he disappoints her, he's so distraught that he lashes out at a Grimm, hacking while his tears turn to manic laughter as a horrified Cinder watches. Orders to hunt and kill make him grin with pleasure; enacting them makes him laugh with glee. He delights in making macabre jokes, such as telling Cinder to get 'an eye for an eye' against Ruby for her maimed eye. He tells Emerald and Mercury they're in the wrong job if they don't love Salem's violent, murderous work; he then begs them to flee Salem just to give him an excuse to hunt and kill them. When he commits a massacre on Atlas's election day, he thrills at the carnage and chaos he causes. When Watts's needs even greater chaos in Mantle than a Grimm invasion, it's Tyrian he turns to for help.

Practically Joker / int_3717ea4a	comment	DC Animated Universe: The Creeper in The New Batman Adventures was originally Jack Ryder, a news anchorman who tries doing a biographical expose on the Joker, only for the Joker himself to show up and kill him for doing so without his permission. He gets a face-full of joker-gas before falling into the same chemical solution that made the Joker into what he is. The singular chemical interaction turns his skin yellow and his hair green, as well as giving him enhanced strength, speed and reflexes. It turns him into a crazed loon, but not to the sociopathic extent of the Joker, with sightings of him causing others to confuse him for a copycat. While he starts off wanting revenge on the Joker, he soon drops this when he sees Harley and becomes a relentless Abhorrent Admirer. By the end of the episode, the Creeper's antics become so bad that the Joker himself crawls up to Batman on his hands and knees looking for help. Being based in the series, the Trickster from Justice League is entirely based on the aforementioned The Flash series, also being voiced by Mark Hamill just as he did in The Flash (1990), being more as a ported version than an adaptation from the comic book counterpart. An in-universe example happens in Batman Beyond with the Jokerz, a street gang of hoodlums who dress up and model themselves after the Joker. Neither the elderly Bruce nor the actual Joker are impressed by them. It's eventually revealed he tried to create a Joker copy by torturing Tim Drake into a "Joker Jr.", which backfired when the traumatized Tim shot him. Who he later possesses to come back from the dead, thanks to a chip on his neck.

Practically Joker / int_38fa34eb	comment	Circe, one of Wonder Woman's most reoccurring and powerful foes, has been depicted this way since the 90s. She is an Evil Counterpart to the main heroine as both are superpowered women of divine origin but while Diana wants to help and protect humanity, Circe is a petty misanthrope who wants to corrupt and destroy it. Circe has even sometimes been depicted with purple hair and green clothing, a visual inversion of the Joker's iconic look and is often written as snarky and jovial with an obvious malicious streak. She has also shown a penchant for striking at Diana through her loved ones, as when she brainwashed Vanessa Kapatelis into becoming the new Silver Swan.

Even his name is an implicit reference to The Joker. Many times, The Joker has taken identities related to clowns, jesters and such, including such obscure references as Eric Border. A Knave is an old word for a Fool — or, alternatively... a clown.

Practically Joker / int_3f633fb4	comment	Cracked ran an article in 2016, "Six Reasons Heath Ledger's Joker Ruined Comic-Book Movies", arguing that the success of the character had led to the overuse of several tropes associated with him. In the firing line were villains who commit terrorist atrocities for no real reason, villains obsessed with "breaking the hero's spirit and moral code", villains who get captured halfway through the film as part of their master plan, and "psychotic, unpredictable" villains who love killing and chaos for the sake of it. It should be noted, however, that all of these cliches long predate Ledger's Joker, being a staple of comic book villains for decades and even being prevalent in older superhero movies that the author claims didn't use them.

Practically Joker / int_43a9c333	comment	Cowboy Bebop: Mad Pierrot, a.k.a. Tongpu, arguably the most dangerous and definitely the most disturbing antagonist in the whole series. He's a deranged serial killer who was originally the subject of some kind of Super-Soldier experiment which ended when it turned out that the process was causing him to mentally regress to the point that, as of the series' present-day, he's basically a psychotic child in the nearly invincible body of a human weapon; he's defeated when his defenses are finally penetrated and he collapses into tears, crying for his mommy. With that in mind, he has a similarly unknown past to the Joker — it's never explained why he was made the way he is, and we only get glimpses at the process, and whoever he was before then is a total mystery — and he has a similar Monster Clown aesthetic, and his name (and the title of his episode, "Pierrot Le Fou") comes from a stock clown character. He spends a fair bit of his screentime laughing his head off, especially while dealing out death and carnage, and the climax even takes place in a theme park that Mr. J himself would be proud to have taken over for just such an occasion. To top it off, the main conflict of the episode is that central character Spike Spiegel just happens to cross paths with him as he's killing someone else and Pierrot decides to kill him, too, just for the hell of it. He was even deliberately modeled on three different Batman villains, most obviously the Joker but also The Penguin (for his appearance) and Bane (for his origins).

Practically Joker / int_44040f52	comment	Blood Wing in Halt Evil Doer!. The greatest enemy of the first Black Wing, he was a scarred psychotic who is believed to have killed thousands of people, and his obsession with Black Wing stems from a horrific example of Create Your Own Villain (he was the murderer of Black Wing's family, and Black Wing left him tied up in a burning house. He later appeared claiming to have done a deal with Satan for revenge). Like Conqueror Worm, he's officially dead (killed by the Psychotic Seven, possibly as a Thanatos Gambit), but he's a Legacy Character: between his online Manifesto of Blood and his possibly having survived as a walk-in spirit, there's always someone twisted enough to put on the Blood Wing costume. (In a way, this is the ultimate Multiple-Choice Past — any given Blood Wing might have a different past because he's a different person, but once someone's become Blood Wing, it doesn't really matter who they were before.)

He especially loves rubbing killing All Might's mentor in his face to further enrage him. You can also say that Shigaraki can be this too, since his character design looks like the Heath Ledger's Joker. However, the best example of a Joker expy is Toya Todoroki, better known the notorious villain Dabi of the League of villains. Dabi shares alot in common with many incarnations of the Joker. Another example, abit more classic with Redestro Word of God even told that he was based on the clown, but also the Green Goblin from Marvel Comics who's also inspired by the Joker.

Nighthawk, however, has no interest in having an archenemy and lacks his counterpart's Thou Shall Not Kill principles, so he just shoots Whiteface with his grappling-hook gun and — for added cross-universe irony — dumps the body in toxic waste.

He uses many of Joker's quotes from the 1989 film, drives around on a parade float playing Village People's "YMCA" (as a nod to Prince being played at the 1989 Joker's parade, but with a song Trump was known to play at his rallies until the band threatened to sue), dresses in a similar outfit to Joker's black suit from that scene, starts spraying COVID-19 around like Joker gas, has a Trump Card like the Joker's signature calling card, and gives a grandstanding speech before the Senate when he declares the election is over and forcibly closes the polls to declare himself President.

Practically Joker / int_69071a1b	comment	Mutants & Masterminds: The Conqueror Worm in the Freedom City setting has his weird conviction that he's a Well-Intentioned Extremist punishing "sinners", but is basically an Ax-Crazy lunatic who kills people for no real reason except he can. His belief that he and the Raven aren't so different means that even after his death, he's still one of the few villains who gets under Duncan Summers's skin. He even had a Harley counterpart named Ligeia. Blood Wing in Halt Evil Doer!. The greatest enemy of the first Black Wing, he was a scarred psychotic who is believed to have killed thousands of people, and his obsession with Black Wing stems from a horrific example of Create Your Own Villain (he was the murderer of Black Wing's family, and Black Wing left him tied up in a burning house. He later appeared claiming to have done a deal with Satan for revenge). Like Conqueror Worm, he's officially dead (killed by the Psychotic Seven, possibly as a Thanatos Gambit), but he's a Legacy Character: between his online Manifesto of Blood and his possibly having survived as a walk-in spirit, there's always someone twisted enough to put on the Blood Wing costume. (In a way, this is the ultimate Multiple-Choice Past — any given Blood Wing might have a different past because he's a different person, but once someone's become Blood Wing, it doesn't really matter who they were before.) The fan-setting A World Less Magical/The World in the Aftermath has Jack, an villain who has his origin during Darkwing's equivalent of "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate", when a tall mob boss, his sadistic, facially-scarred lieutanant, and a gaunt genius chemist who was their inside man at the plant went through a portal to a hell dimension, and someone came back who was tall, gaunt and had facial scars. His Three Beings, One Body nature means that Jack has an extemely chaotic MO: sometimes he's a ruthless gangster, sometimes he's a gun-for-hire with a grudge against Darkwing, sometimes he's a chemically brilliant Mad Scientist. And sometimes he's a ritualistic serial killer, which doesn't fit any of the known personalities. Also, the three criminals who formed him are all named after creators who helped define the Joker: O'Neill, Azarello, and Moore.

Since most of Might Gaine's villains are based on Batman villains, Joe being the most dangerous villain naturally means he's based on the Joker. However, in terms of personality, Joe couldn't be much further from the Joker, being a brooding Noble Demon who eventually transitions into being an Anti-Hero. While their attitudes couldn't be further apart, Joe shares the Joker's playing card motif, taste for purple clothes, and signature mix of black and green hair. And, of course, half of his name.

Practically Joker / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has the titular, vibrantly colored mask contain an incredibly violent and petty spirit. Majora's Mask has a sketchy backstory at best (it was said to be used by an unnamed tribe for rituals), and its crimes range from trying to drop a moon on Termina to poisoning the water supply of a civilization to knocking over old ladies, all out of amusement and/or boredom. When Link confronts Majora's Mask inside the moon, it tries to provoke Link through five "figments" that look like masked children. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword gives Ghirahim a primarily white color scheme with hints or red, yellow, and black, making him look somewhat like a jester or a Renaissance clown. Behind his easygoing exterior, he's particularly vicious by the standards of Demise's army, often issuing colorful death and torture threats over being delayed in his quest to revive his master. Other than being a sword of Demise that can take on a sentient form, he has no backstory whatsoever. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds has Yuga, an incredibly vain Mad Artist with mostly purple clothing and clown-like makeup. He has no detailed backstory, although he is eventually revealed to be Princess Hilda's right-hand man and advisor. Although he supposedly acts to save Lorule from destruction, his actual end goal is to annihilate both it and Hyrule so he can make new worlds in his own image, just because thinks of both as "hideous".

He's portrayed by Mark Hamill, who voiced the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series. He ends up reprising the role of the Trickster in the 2014 series, again portraying him closer to the Joker than his namesake. His Earth-3 counterpart, also portrayed by Hamill, has an even stronger resemblance to the Joker aside from the usual psychotic tendencies by having abnormally colored hair (albeit purple rather than green) and wearing makeup.

It also helps that Light, like the Clown Prince of Crime, has his own Loony Fan and Dark Mistress in Misa whom is extremely similar to Harley Quinn right down to the Ignore the Fanservice All Take and No Give toxic relationship â€” with Light using Misa as means to an end like Joker does with Harley. To top it all off, Light has a powerful Worthy Opponent Foe Romance Subtext with a maladjusted Dark Is Not Evil Great Detective (L) who himself just so happens to have a butler. However, one major difference between Light and the Joker is that Light thinks of himself as a hero who's creating a better world, one killing at a time. Ryuk's default expression is a wide grin, has a morbid sense of humor, and drops the titular Death Note into the human world because he's bored and wants to see which chaos will unfold. The result is that the aforementioned Light finds the note, and the rest is history.

Practically Joker / int_8f25225c	comment	Danganronpa: Junko Enoshima is a manipulative psychopath who firmly believes in despair being inescapable and goes out of her way to squash what little sliver of hope there was, and is severely mentally unstable. In addition, she also has a mysterious past where it is unknown what made her obsessed with despair. It's later revealed that her "Ultimate Analyst" talent made her able to see almost every possible outcome of every situation, therefore the normal, harmonic world is agonizingly boring to her, while despair creates unpredictable situations. So as a result, the only way she can feel almost any sort of positive emotion is through despair and chaos. To hammer it in even more, she even has her own Harley Quinn in the form of her twin sister Mukuro, who she shares a masochism tango with, and made another in the form of Mikan Tsumiki as shown during Danganronpa 3, down to being a medical professional. She also corrupted Kyosuke Munakata using a brainwashed Chisa and turning him into something not very different from Junko herself who then proceeds to provoke a civil war between the Future Foundation, something that is seemingly straight out from Joker corrupting Superman in Injustice or Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony provides perhaps an even more obvious example in Kokichi Ouma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader who even has something of a clown motif. He has an outrageous sense of humor and goofy attitude, displays an almost frighteningly casual attitude towards the events of the killing game and instead joyfully embraces it, actively acknowledges his evil status and enjoying the suffering of others, he constantly stirs chaos throughout the academy with his actions and often nudges others into helping him, is an intelligent talker and incredibly good at getting under people's skin, and his near impenetrable veil of lies means not a shred of his past is known for sure, except the eventual detail that he leads a clown-themed gang, only adding further to the similarity. The one big difference is that, despite all of the above, he's not actually the diabolical supervillain he brags about being. His gang of clowns is literally just that: a bunch of clowns who amuse themselves by pulling harmless pranks on random people and committing petty, nonviolent crimes.

While he's a doctor, rather than a clown, his over-the-top cruelty and warped sense of humour in late season 1 are a perfect match for the Clown Prince of Crime, and his worrying obsession with Ratchet is so intense it actually manages to temporarily overpower the consciousness of one of Cybertron's gods. Overlord is the Joker by way of a particularly depraved Roman emperor. He loves not just killing, but killing sadistically, to the point where his "liberation" of a prison turned it into a hellscape of gladiatorial deathmatches where anyone who won enough matches had to either kill themselves or fight him (he's a Phase Sixer, the latter is just the former with more steps); furthering the comparisons to the Joker, he did this purely in the hope of getting the attention of someone he was obsessed with (in this case Megatron, rather than Batman). Then, when the Wreckers show up, he laughs at Rotorstorm's ill-advised "Wreckers...combine!" joke, then casually murders him. He's so obsessed with Megatron that when he believes Megatron is dead, he loses the will to fight and collapses, only to return to his rampages when Chromedome lets slip that Megatron is still alive after all.

He gets a face-full of joker-gas before falling into the same chemical solution that made the Joker into what he is. The singular chemical interaction turns his skin yellow and his hair green, as well as giving him enhanced strength, speed and reflexes. It turns him into a crazed loon, but not to the sociopathic extent of the Joker, with sightings of him causing others to confuse him for a copycat. While he starts off wanting revenge on the Joker, he soon drops this when he sees Harley and becomes a relentless Abhorrent Admirer. By the end of the episode, the Creeper's antics become so bad that the Joker himself crawls up to Batman on his hands and knees looking for help.

He has the stringy hair, disheveled appearance, Ax-Crazy demeanor, and heâ€™s an expert strategist with a nihilistic worldview. As this Cracked article put it: Ewan McGregor's portrayal of Black Mask in Birds of Prey (2020) made a lot of fans think he would make a good Joker. Heâ€™s portrayed here as a flamboyant, swaggering mobster whose jocular and disarming nature contrasts with his sheer ruthlessness and sadism, and he has a specific bone to pick with Harley Quinn. Both of them pale compared to Harley herself, however. She's a criminal prone to committing acts of extreme violence, constantly smiling as she very brutally mows down enemies with gleeful joy and doing it mainly for the sake of it, engaging in madcap antics, and as the cherry on top, is actually considered much more dangerous than even the Joker. Yeah. Harley Quinn definitely fits the bill as the DCEU's own version of the Clown Prince of Crime, ironically even more so than the real deal played by Jared Leto (even if the latter eventually got a scene facing Batman in Zack Snyder's Justice League that very much plays by the two characters/archenemies' usual dynamic).

Practically Joker / int_98b697e9	comment	In the Scream films, Ghostface has more than once turned out to be like this once they're unmasked. Scream (1996): While the lead killer Billy Loomis is motivated by hatred of Sidney and her family, his partner-in-crime Stu Macher is doing it For the Evulz, having jumped at the chance to become a real-life slasher killer. After The Reveal, he's practically Laughing Mad. Scream 2: The killers in the original script were an Outlaw Couple seeking Fame Through Infamy and a chance to spread their nihilistic philosophy to the world. In the final film, one of the killers, Mickey Altieri, retains elements of this, with a plan to become famous through a highly sensationalized murder trial. Scream 4: Jill Roberts is easily the most extreme instance of these amongst the Ghostface killers, being absolutely batshit insane, hammy to the extreme, and motivated in achieving Fame Through Infamy via a killing spree, not unlike the Joker's usual motivation for watching the world burn for his amusement. Scream (2022): Not only do both of the killers fit this, the fact that they are a male-and-female duo adds a Joker/Harley dynamic as well. Richie Kirsch maintains his jovial demeanor even after he's revealed to be Ghostface, treating serial killing like a fun children's game, but it's his accomplice Amber Freeman who turns absolutely unhinged, acting like a Distaff Counterpart to Stu from the first film.

Practically Joker / int_9b602c3f	comment	Deltarune: Jevil was a former court jester to the Card Kingdom who snapped after learning that his life takes place in a video game thanks to a mysterious stranger. He then started treating the world as an open sandbox game as an agent of chaos with all the associated nastiness. While his reign of terror was put to an end by his imprisonment, he did drive his former colleague and captor Seam towards despair and apathy at the state of the world. Fitting the Playing Card Motifs theme of the chapter, Jevil is based on the Joker card much like Batman's nemesis. Spamton takes design cues from Billy the puppet, being a clown-like dummy/animatronic, but otherwise aligns with Mr. J. He's a crazed spambot who's simultaneously funny and scary, associated with smiles and laughter, and has a mostly unexplained backstory which partially includes a serious fall from grace that led to his murderous and existential insanity (with hints of having taken a literal fall into battery acid, not unlike one of the more iconic origins for Joker's white skin). Spamton also gets to Kris mentally through directly prodding at their own similarities of being a puppet, leaving enough of an impact to be the first villain to visibly haunt Kris even after battling him, and he actively enables the murderous rampage a sadistic player can make Noelle perform and directly takes advantage of the chaos. And despite the obvious similarities to Billy, his pale white face, slicked back hair and wide grin all still strongly evoke many of the Clown Prince's animated appearances, something perhaps most visible in his NEO form with a purple body.

The original appearance of the character in The Red Ten presents Oxymoron as the archenemy of Batman expy Red, but she plays no part whatsoever in this Origins Issue. The titular Oxymoron is a psychopathic killer with a rictus grin, his costume a white ski-mask and a white suit and red tie. His goal is to kill all Hypocrites and contradictions everywhere, but with the various logical hurdles he goes to to accuse his victims of such, it is very likely this is just an excuse to murder indiscriminately. Like various incarnations of the Joker, he also winds up inspiring a legion of copy-cats. And with no Batman there to stop him, his rampage completely succeeds despite the attempts of some brave police officers to stop him.

Practically Joker / int_9dbc31cb	comment	One of the more ill-fitting examples that was retrofitted to an existing villain — for a brief period in the 1990s, when imitating The Dark Knight Returns was in vogue, authors John Byrne and Len Kaminski gave this treatment to the Living Laser in Iron Man. The Laser had had a memorable turn in the early 80's as a sort of Bond villain for hire, and a follow-up appearance where Iron Man's defeat of him there drove him to mad vengeance. When the Laser next turned up under Byrne, he was a cackling madman who insisted that he was the only one allowed to kill Iron Man, with his combination of madness and lethality emphasized. He was less the calculating and traitorous mastermind that he had been before, and more like the Joker with enough power to threaten Iron Man.

His henchmen having a circus theme with his Number Two being an attractive woman who clubs people is also reminiscent to the Joker. If that wasnâ€™t enough the Hungry Days features Buggy in Joaquin Phoenixâ€™s Joker outfit and signature pose while the live action Netflix show makes Buggy (played by Jeff Ward) heavily akin to Heath Ledgerâ€™s Joker albeit more comical. Donquixote Doflamingo has a very outlandish appearance, a constant smirk in his face and laughs all the time. Taking it further, his codename in the black market is Joker, his end-goal seeming to be starting a world war and that he never misses a chance to indulge his sadistic impulses. Caesar Clown is a sadistic, cackling Mad Scientist who specializes in poisonous gases and Weapons of Mass Destruction, he has pale skin and purple lips like a clown, and he both visually resembles and is named after The Joker's first live-action performer Cesar Romero.

His gang has a Circus of Fear and Monster Clown motif. He has physical deformities including pale skin. He's a Laughably Evil Faux Affably Evil Ax-Crazy Large Ham with a hefty dose of Psychopathic Manchild. He concocts a plan, mostly For the Evulz, so monstrous that even some of his henchmen are disturbed by it. He has a Mysterious Past where it's unclear what exactly happened between his parents abandoning him and where he is today, with only a few hints given about it. Finally, he sees Batman and himself as two sides of the same coin, both "freaks", with the only difference being that Batman has to wear a mask, while Penguin's freakishness is authentic.

Practically Joker / int_a03824e8	comment	The Joker himself has a number of in-universe copycats in The DCU. He likes to use the Joker Venom to turn people into copies of himself complete with maniacal laughter, bleached skin, and green hair. Dark Nights: Metal introduces the Dark Knights, evil alternate Bruce Waynes who also take traits with other characters, and represent dark paths Batman could've taken. Their ring-leader is The Batman Who Laughs, the Bruce Wayne of Earth-22 who was corrupted by Joker Venom after killing his version of the Joker. Representing Batman's fear of becoming as bad as the Joker, he has Batman's methodical mind mixed with the Joker's love of chaos. He considers himself Eviler than Thou to the Joker, which the Joker actually agrees with to the point where he was willing to team up with Batman to stop him. Teen Titans: Duela Dent, a.k.a. The Joker's Daughter, dresses up as a Distaff Counterpart of the Clown Prince of Crime, and even claims to be his daughter, though eventually it's determined she is the daughter of Two-Face (or rather, a female Two-Face and heroic version of the Joker from a Mirror Universe). Unlike most examples of this trope she's a heroic character... at least until the New 52, where she becomes a psychopathic young woman obsessed with the idea of serving the Joker, even wearing his cut-off face. Out of universe, Trickster I (James Jesse) from The Flash is seen as the Lighter and Softer version of the Joker, having a circus theme with all kind of toys and clown stuff used as weapons and being on the wrong side of the law. However, in-universe, they couldn't be more different; he's calm and focused, is a very moral anti-villain and Nominal Hero who abhors senseless killing, and the craziness of his persona is only seen in their robberies and acts against Flashes rather than with the Rogues. While he's sometimes depicted as having mental issues, they're portrayed sympathetically and what they are exactly is Depending on the Writer. The 'Joker stand-in' idea of him seems to mostly be inspired by The Flash (1990), which acted as a version of him, as he was played by future-Joker voice actor Mark Hamill. His successor (Axel Walker, known as Trickster II), however, is more Ax-Crazy and became more of a Circus Brat, being closer than his predecessor to the Joker. As much as Trickster is often used as one, fellow rogue Abra Kadabra is even more this, especially after Mark Waid turned him into Wally West's nemesis. He's a narcissist obsessed with the spotlight, a showman who treats all his crimes as a performance that demands people pay attention, a Psychopathic Manchild who can't stand things not going his way, and a sadist who revels in high body counts. He's obsessed with ruining Wally West's life, but rather than simply kill him, he wants to make him suffer and leave his mark as the greatest enemy of the Flash. He's essentially what would happen if Emperor Joker never got depowered, but merely had a much more limited scope of his powers. But if there is a member of the Flash's rogues gallery that can be similar to the Joker, it would be Professor Zoom or Reverse Flash (in his different incarnations). Although he does not comply with the clown theme, he still wears a colorful uniform (in this case with a color pattern opposite to that of the flash), he has a psychopathic personality and is obsessed with his hero and has dedicated his entire existence to making the life of his nemesis miserable to the point of causing several family and psychological tragedies. The parallelism between both villains is such that in the comic Flash: Rebirth, Barry himself refers to this similarity to exemplify the threat that Zoom represents. The story "Panic at the Midnight Rodeo" from the Dog Days of Summer Special introduced Bat-Cow's archenemy, an untameable, green-tinted, and lipsticked rodeo steer named Laffa-Bull who tramples, gores, and otherwise maims people For the Evulz. In Batman/Superman (2013), the arc "Superman's Joker" revolves around one of Superman's rogues turning into an Ax-Crazy For the Evulz antagonist who functions as his equivalent to the Joker. It turns out to be Xa-Du. In New Super-Man, Alpaca, a.k.a. Wang Jiali, acts as the Joker analogue to the Chinese Bat-Man (Wang Baixi), causing mayhem and acting as his archenemy due to not being chosen to be his "Robin". Circe, one of Wonder Woman's most reoccurring and powerful foes, has been depicted this way since the 90s. She is an Evil Counterpart to the main heroine as both are superpowered women of divine origin but while Diana wants to help and protect humanity, Circe is a petty misanthrope who wants to corrupt and destroy it. Circe has even sometimes been depicted with purple hair and green clothing, a visual inversion of the Joker's iconic look and is often written as snarky and jovial with an obvious malicious streak. She has also shown a penchant for striking at Diana through her loved ones, as when she brainwashed Vanessa Kapatelis into becoming the new Silver Swan. Some of Batman's international allies have their own Joker counterparts. The Knight from Britain has Jarvis Poker, the British Joker, who is more of a prankster than a murderer, and Night Runner has The Man Who Laughs, a dadaist lunatic. Batman Incorporated (2022) introduces Joker Incorporated with international Joker counterparts from each country with a Batman Inc member. Aside from the original, the only pre-existing character is Alpaca, the others being Dai Laffyn for the Knight, Dusty Bronco the rodeo clown for Chief Man-of-Bats and Raven Red, Corvus Cawl for Dark Ranger, Charles de Ghoul for Night Runner, and Tap Dance Man for the Guacho. It's not revealed what happened to The Man Who Laughs; Jarvis Poker had already been permanently rejected by the Joker in the pages of Knight and Squire. The one-shot Tales from Earth-6: A Celebration of Stan Lee features the Batman of the Just Imagine continuity confronting a Serial Killer with a preference for strangulation called the Choker, who happens to have green hair, pale skin and purple clothing like the Joker. At one point, he even brings up that his given name is Jack, a nod to the Joker's real name being Jack Napier in Batman (1989).

Practically Joker / int_a4420d22	comment	The Venture Bros.: Boggles the Clue Clown was originally a member of the Council of Thirteen, an oligarchy of super-villains that helped run the Guild of Calamitous Intent under the Sovereign. He was an Expy of both the Joker and The Riddler (having a clown-based gimmick with a penchant for leaving riddles with a rather twisted punchline) before he died of heart disease, his last riddle involving his own dead body and coffin being used as a jack-in-the-box. The Joker analogue is pushed further since his arch-enemy was Captain Sunshine, who is voiced by Kevin Conroy (most famous for playing Batman in the DC Animated Universe). Presto Change-O is a villainous jester who likes to make jokes. Strengthening the comparison is that he's voiced by Mark Hamill, who voiced the Joker in the DCAU and other media. His design and colour scheme is also similar to the Green Goblin who is often likened to the Joker. The Wild Fop, while mostly based on Oscar Wilde, has the white makeup and facial features of The Joker. His voice also brings to mind Jeff Bennett's interpretation in Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

In terms of personality, he's an outwardly jovial and superficially charismatic yet utterly remorseless and sadistic mass murderer who showed up out of nowhere and quickly established himself as the biggest villain around by slaughtering competing crime bosses with minimal effort. He's also an avid showman with a wicked sense of humor and an unfailingly cynical worldview, and his chief rival in villainy is an old-fashioned aristocrat in a black suit and top-hat.

Practically Joker / int_bdb1fb9a	comment	Batman Film Series In Batman Returns, Oswald Cobblepot, as part of his Composite Character status, takes on several traits that come more from the Joker than the Penguin of the comics. His gang has a Circus of Fear and Monster Clown motif. He has physical deformities including pale skin. He's a Laughably Evil Faux Affably Evil Ax-Crazy Large Ham with a hefty dose of Psychopathic Manchild. He concocts a plan, mostly For the Evulz, so monstrous that even some of his henchmen are disturbed by it. He has a Mysterious Past where it's unclear what exactly happened between his parents abandoning him and where he is today, with only a few hints given about it. Finally, he sees Batman and himself as two sides of the same coin, both "freaks", with the only difference being that Batman has to wear a mask, while Penguin's freakishness is authentic. Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face in Batman Forever was notably remarked on by several critics as bearing more resemblance to the Joker than his traditional comic counterpart. He's depicted as a hammy, Ax-Crazy villain prone to laughing and fits of rage that combined with the often purple and red color motifs associated with him and the disfigured portion of his face having a permanent grin, made the similarities impossible to ignore.

He even has a very similar appearance to many versions of the Joker, with a chalk-white face and an exaggeratedly large Slasher Smile. Jinx, a heavily-armed, completely insane, criminally inclined young woman with blue hair and very pale skin, who thinks violence is hilarious, was, according to Word of God, conceived as a gender-flipped version of the Joker from Batman: The Animated Series, although many players are reminded more of Harley Quinn. Arcane suggests she might also be psychotic, especially after blowing herself up and being revived with a massive dose of Shimmer. Jinx in Arcane bears heavy resemblance to the Arthur Fleck incarnation of the Clown Prince from Joker (2019), as both are realistic depictions of characters who previously had a fantastical and quirky version of insanity. They start off as mentally disturbed but still good-hearted people who had the misfortune of being born in a Wretched Hive run by brutal criminals and kept in poverty by an extremely corrupt upper class. This horrific environment and a series of tragic events worsen their already existent mental health issues to turning them into the chaotic villains we know today.

Practically Joker / int_e92b62ba	comment	Rat-Man (1989): As befitting for the main character being a parody of Tim Burton's Batman, the main villain of the first issue, The Buffoon, is a parody of the Joker, being an Ax-Crazy Monster Clown with a Mysterious Past shared with Rat-Man, though they don't recognize each other in their first encounter, that commits evil just for kicks, to the point of kidnapping an orphan... But also being so stupid to demand a ransom from the parents.

Practically Joker / int_eab90aec	comment	Goro Majima from the Yakuza series definitely fit the picture in the first game. He's always got a wide grin on his face, eager to fight Kiryu on a regular basis and won't hesitate to beat up one of his minions if he finds out they're not laughing with him. Also, in the original PS2 release, he was voiced by none other than Mark Hamill and by Matthew Mercer in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. He becomes a more heroic variant of this trope in later games, with his Ax-Crazy qualities downplayed in favor of more lighthearted eccentricities. He's still a total Blood Knight who wants to fight Kiryu at every opportunity, however.

Fitting the episode's Whole-Plot Reference, Wander takes on a more serious, Batman-esque persona when dealing with his sworn nemesis.

Practically Joker / int_f14deb8a	comment	The Perils of Penelope Pitstop has an early, unbuilt example with the Hooded Claw. While his mannerisms lean more towards that of a Dastardly Whiplash, he's a sharply-dressed criminal with a predominant purple and green color scheme who laughs a lot, and takes sadistic glee in attempting to kill the eponymous Penelope with elaborate and comical death traps.

Practically Joker / int_f3c07f91	comment	The Mask: The Mask has a smile that matches up with The Joker's, is feared by the supervillains and has a sense of humour but however unlike The Joker he is a superhero who genuinely cares about his friends, the people who live in Edge City with him and his unmasked self Stanley Ipkiss. The Mask unlike The Joker is a Reality Warper but he only uses his reality warping powers and abilities to troll people who annoy him or the supervillains he fights showing that he has morals as well unlike The Joker. Played straight with Dr. Pretorious, who is even voiced by Tim Curry, the actor who was even on-tap to voice The Joker before Mark Hamill got the part. Pretorius' sense of humor is more dry and unintentional, however, with an occasional edge of Foe Romance Subtext to it.

Aside from the original, the only pre-existing character is Alpaca, the others being Dai Laffyn for the Knight, Dusty Bronco the rodeo clown for Chief Man-of-Bats and Raven Red, Corvus Cawl for Dark Ranger, Charles de Ghoul for Night Runner, and Tap Dance Man for the Guacho. It's not revealed what happened to The Man Who Laughs; Jarvis Poker had already been permanently rejected by the Joker in the pages of Knight and Squire.

Practically Joker / int_f64ceaf2	comment	There are several creepypasta villains who are blatantly inspired by the Joker. The Jester in The Fear Mythos, who is completely and utterly Ax-Crazy, dressed up as a Monster Clown. Jeff the Killer is literally one green hair away from being a perfect carbon copy of the Clown Prince of Crime himself. He has a chemically bleached face set into a permanent hideous smile, a name starting with the letter "J", a tendency to kill people, an uncontrollable habit of bursting into insane laughter and a backstory that saw him go mad after having "one bad day ". Laughing Jack is about a single mother whose son James befriends a Monster Clown with a Slasher Smile who constantly laughs maniacally and ends up mutilating the woman's son as well as tricking the mother into stabbing her son in the heart.

Practically Joker / int_f7c8e36e	comment	Octopath Traveler: Simeon, the Puppet Master is the main antagonist of Primrose's story, and possesses several Joker-like characteristics. A complete psychopath who thinks the world is filled with "constant, inescapable darkness", his greatest joy is to ruin the hopes and dreams of others, taking pleasure in their suffering. He is also cunning and intelligent, accurately deducing that Primrose's quest for revenge against him and his associates for murdering her father, is really desperation to find peace from the loneliness of losing him. This revelation nearly breaks Primrose.

It's also fitting that at different points in time his primary colors were purple and green (the latter in the toyline only, though).

He also delights in his Arch-Enemy relationship with Alucard, constantly expressing a desire to be the one to destroy him.

His killing of Samus' mother and (indirectly) father can bring to mind Jack Napier's murder of Bruce Wayne's parents in Batman (1989).

Practically Joker / int_f95c488f	comment	Arrowverse: Being different than his comic book counterpart, the Trickster from The Flash is closer to the Joker in the series, having a sense of chaos and even been as campy as any of Batman's Rogues Gallery from the old '60s series. He's portrayed by Mark Hamill, who voiced the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series. He ends up reprising the role of the Trickster in the 2014 series, again portraying him closer to the Joker than his namesake. His Earth-3 counterpart, also portrayed by Hamill, has an even stronger resemblance to the Joker aside from the usual psychotic tendencies by having abnormally colored hair (albeit purple rather than green) and wearing makeup. Arrow: Cecil Adams/The Count was stated by his actor to have his performance based off the Joker. That is, he's a complete psycho who gets off from the suffering of others. Lonnie Machin/Anarky is a Bomb Throwing Anarchist who giggles with glee as he spreads chaos and terror across the city. He's also a Combat Sadomasochist who enjoyed being burned alive and thinks of it as being reborn. Prometheus takes a lot of cues from the Joker, being the psychopathic Arch-Enemy and Evil Counterpart of The Hero who is a Batman analogue. He is deeply obsessed with ruining the hero's life, being completely devoid of humanity and dedicates his entire life to his cause, and the hero had a hand in creating them to begin with. This becomes even more apparent in Season Six where he returns as a Vertigo induced hallucination to haunt Oliver, very much like Joker did to Batman in Batman: Arkham Knight, establishing himself as the one enemy Oliver can never be truly rid of. In Batwoman (2019), the Joker himself is believed to be long dead, but season 3 introduces a would-be successor, Marquis Jet, who became a sociopath after the Joker pressed his joy buzzer to Marquis' head during a hostage situation. While Marquis shares the original's penchant for murder and brightly-colored suits and hair, he is noticeably more calculating; rather than simply going on a murder spree, he uses his status as the heir to a major corporation to systematically destroy Batwoman's life and reputation.

Practically Joker / int_fb873b86	comment	Spamton takes design cues from Billy the puppet, being a clown-like dummy/animatronic, but otherwise aligns with Mr. J. He's a crazed spambot who's simultaneously funny and scary, associated with smiles and laughter, and has a mostly unexplained backstory which partially includes a serious fall from grace that led to his murderous and existential insanity (with hints of having taken a literal fall into battery acid, not unlike one of the more iconic origins for Joker's white skin). Spamton also gets to Kris mentally through directly prodding at their own similarities of being a puppet, leaving enough of an impact to be the first villain to visibly haunt Kris even after battling him, and he actively enables the murderous rampage a sadistic player can make Noelle perform and directly takes advantage of the chaos. And despite the obvious similarities to Billy, his pale white face, slicked back hair and wide grin all still strongly evoke many of the Clown Prince's animated appearances, something perhaps most visible in his NEO form with a purple body.
