Born with an Evil Grin

For every stop, there is a go. For every up, there is a down. For every superhero, there is an archenemy, that one enemy that's always a step ahead, always testing the hero. As long as there has been a Batman, there has been a Joker. And one of the best representations of the Joker has been in Rocksteady's Arkham games.


The Joker in the Arkham games is played by Mark Hamill, who played the role of the Joker before in the WB's Batman: The Animated Series television show. As he has had a lot of practice, Hamill has made the Joker's voice flawless. He always sounds like he's ready to crack a smile, and his laugh sounds both manic and calculating.

The design for the Joker is very appropriate as well. He is seen wearing a purple suit that looks as if he's worn it for a while. He also seems like a lanky man, with very long arms and legs, showing that while he's not an expert fighter, he can probably handle himself. Of course, he has the iconic green hair, white face, and bright red grin. He's obviously supposed to look like a clown, but in these games he looks a lot more demonic, more evil. His face is very expressive, especially when he's grinning. Unfortunately, this is one clown who you never want to see laughing. Every laugh from him means someone is about to die...
