The Joker is Batman's arch-nemesis. While Joker's origin is open to interpretations (he constantly tells differing stories of his life), it is possible he was a down-and-out comedian who joined a gang as Red Hood. Red Hood fell into a vat of acid during a robbery that Batman broke up, and his physical transformation, coupled with his wife's elecrocution during a freak accident, pushed him over the edge. He is completely psychotic, making his crime spiels very difficult for Batman to predict. Joker remained free after Bane's breakout of Arkham until apprehended by Batman. He was then tried and eventually found innocent (thanks to Batman's efforts as chronicled in Devil's Advocate) of mass murder by poisoning postage stamps of comics.
