The Joker is one of the greatest villains in DC Comics, nay, pop culture history.
So it’s no surprise that he’s popped up in TV and film on more than a few occasions. Even in the comic books, the Joker’s appearance has evolved from creation to Silver to Gold to Bronze to Modern Age, and that’s just as much the case for his onscreen persona.
Earlier this year, the American TV show Gotham – set before Batman came along – recently added a character called Jerome, who many believe is a younger version of the Joker, or the inspiration for the villain when he eventually turns up to give the Caped Crusader hell.
