The Joker may be the most quotable character in the entire
DC Universe. Since appearing in Batman #1 in 1940, the Clown Prince of Crime has been the most iconic and effective foil to Bruce Wayne's hero. Channeling madness, charm, and upsetting uses of violence, The Joker has become a necessary character in the Batman canon and has appeared in movies and television with diverse interpretations. With the release date of Joker: Folie À Deux set for late 2024, there has been no better time to review the canonical quotes of the DC villain.
Drawn by a series of artists in comics, then voiced by actors as iconic as Mark Hamill, Alan Tudyk, and Zach Galifianakis in animation, there is a long legacy of The Joker that each new live-action performer must contend with in their portrayals. Many have done it exceptionally well, with
Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix receiving Academy Awards for their portrayals.
Still, it appears more Jokers may be ahead, with speculation about casting the DCU Batman movie's Joker already beginning. These quotes can help to understand the enigmatic character better.
