Joker

The Joker is a fictional character, a comic book supervillain appearing in publications by DC Comics. The character was created by Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger and Bob Kane, and first appeared in Batman #1 . As the archenemy of the superhero Batman, the Joker has subsequently appeared in television programs, films, games, as well as on a variety of merchandise. The credit for creating the character is disputed, as both Kane and Robinson claimed responsibility for the Joker's design, but acknowledged Finger's writing contribution.
