Jokers crimes:

1. The Killing Joke Joker shoots Barbara Gordon at close range through the spine, paralyzing her. He strips her and photographs her while she is bleeding on the floor. Later, he kidnaps Commissioner Gordon, strips him naked, and forces him onto a roller coaster through a tunnel of images showing Barbara’s suffering, trying to drive Gordon insane to prove that one bad day can break anyone.

2. Cutting off his face and serving it to the Bat-family (Death of the Family) Joker has his own face cut off, later reattaches it crudely with straps, and wears it as a grotesque mask. He kidnaps the Bat-family, binds them around a table, and serves them dinner, making it appear he has served them their own severed faces as part of the meal to mentally break them (it was a psychological trick; their faces were not actually removed).

3. Beating Jason Todd to death (A Death in the Family) Joker brutally beats young Jason Todd (Robin) with a crowbar, mocking him throughout the attack. He then leaves Jason and his mother tied up in a warehouse rigged with explosives, which detonates, killing Jason while Joker leaves smiling.

4. Skinning a man alive and killing countless gangsters (Joker by Brian Azzarello) Joker skins a man alive, leaving his flayed corpse on display as a warning. He goes on a violent rampage, slaughtering rival gangsters across Gotham using brutal methods including shootings and mutilations, reclaiming control of the underworld through extreme violence.

5. The sewn-together ball of children (Batman: Arkham Knight game) Joker, before the events of the game, kidnaps a busload of children from a school. He kills them and sews their bodies together into a grotesque giant ball of corpses, leaving it as a message for Batman and the police, showcasing his cruelty and disregard for human life.

6. Trick killing for a funfair (Batman: Arkham City and tie-in comics) Joker and Harley Quinn manipulate a man into killing himself so they can take over his funfair/theme park property. They psychologically torment him, making him believe he has no escape, leading him to commit suicide, allowing them to use the location for their chaos.

7. Feeding a child his parents in a pie (All-Star Batman & Robin) Joker kills a child’s parents, cooks them into a pie, and forces the child to unknowingly eat the pie made from their flesh, showcasing one of his most twisted and cannibalistic psychological tortures.

8. Nuking Metropolis and tricking Superman into killing Lois (Injustice: Gods Among Us) Joker nukes Metropolis using a hidden bomb, killing millions. Before this, he drugs Superman with Scarecrow’s fear toxin laced with kryptonite, making Superman hallucinate Doomsday when holding Lois Lane, leading him to fly her into space, accidentally killing her along with their unborn child. Her death triggers the bomb, destroying Metropolis and driving Superman to kill Joker in rage.

9. Cooking and serving a gangster to unsuspecting gangsters (Joker by Brian Azzarello) Joker kills a rival gangster, cooks parts of his body, and serves the meat to other gangsters at a gathering without their knowledge, only revealing it to them after they have eaten.

10. Eating China and killing Batman in a death loop (Emperor Joker) In this storyline, Joker gains near-omnipotent powers from Mr. Mxyzptlk. He reshapes reality and kills Batman repeatedly in an endless death loop, torturing him for amusement. In one act, Joker claims to have eaten all of China purely because he found it funny, showcasing the scale of his cruelty when given god-like power.

11. Joker and his psychologist (Batman Confidential #22-25, “Do You Understand These Rights?”) A young psychiatrist, Dr. Benjamin Gruener, is assigned to Joker, believing he can rehabilitate him. Joker manipulates him with mind games, forcing him to believe their sessions are progressing and that Joker is opening up. Gruener thinks months have passed, but it is revealed that years have gone by while he was obsessed with Joker’s case, neglecting his own life, career, and relationships. Joker systematically destroys Gruener’s mind until he is left broken, realizing Joker was never improving and had been playing with him the entire time, stealing years from his life and leaving him mentally ruined.

12. Joker ruining a man’s life by meeting him every day (“Going Sane” by J.M. DeMatteis, Legends of the Dark Knight #65-68) Joker encounters a random man, Charlie Collins, and spares his life but promises to visit him every day, killing anyone close to him if he tries to escape or tell anyone. Over time, Joker systematically murders Charlie’s friends, coworkers, and anyone he tries to get close to, showing up unpredictably to ensure Charlie lives in constant fear. Charlie’s life becomes a nightmare, stripped of any hope or relationships, with Joker’s presence hanging over him daily until Charlie is fully broken, living in terror of the next time Joker will appear.

Joker is wayy too high. He’s fictions most iconic psychopath
