The Joker is one of the main villains, as well as the archnemesis to Batman, in the Batman universe. He first appeared in Batman #1 and has been one of the most popular characters in the series. While there are a few different stories as to his actual origins, all lead to falling into chemicals making him what he is today. He doesn't have any actual powers, making him similar to Batman, with him using gadgets and tricks to terrorize Gotham City.
He has appeared in pretty much all of the Batman games, usually as a boss of some sort. Outside of those games, he as appeared in a couple of other games involving the DC universe, including DC Universe Online, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, and Injustice: Gods Among Us. He was actually playable in Batman: Arkham Asylum, outside of fighting games, but only in the PlayStation 3-exclusive challenge maps.
