Comic Trivia of the Day- The Joker

So this is a new thing that I want to do. I want to provide everyone with a bit of comic knowledge that they may not be floating around in normal nerdy conversations.  Hopefully you'll all enjoy it :)

It will be posted every weekday :)

So the first piece of trivia is about my personal favourite character in the whole of the comic-book land,  The Joker.

Introduced in the very first issue of the Batman Comics (Spring 1940), The Joker has been around constantly through all of the different periods and is still the most dangerous and unpredictable person that has ever been shown on the comic-book pages as well as in other media as well (notably his role in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City)

But did you know that according to one of the origin stories of the Joker (and regarded to be the most accurate one) Joker was the original Red Hood which was forced into committing the crime at the Ace Chemical Processing Plant where he worked. This is where he and Batman first encountered each other and this is also the site of the Jokers change from a bumbling frightened man into one of the most sadistic and dangerous villains of all time.

The Red Hood identity is now more famous by being portrayed by Jason Todd, the second Robin, who the Joker killed.

"All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day" - Joker
