Halloweencostumes.com has shared another interesting infographic and this one traces the evolution of the Joker over the years. Here's the intro that came with it:
No superhero and supervillain duo embody the eternal struggle of good and evil better than Batman and the Joker. Where Batman embodies justice, order, and all that is good, The Joker is the personification of evil, anarchy, and chaos. The Joker and Batman have been going at it since the 1940s, and will continue to do so through 2016 with the release of Suicide Squad. His origin in the real world is as mysterious as it is in the comics, with three different men claiming to have had varying degrees of responsibility in creating him. A character that was meant to be a one-off appearance eventually evolved into one of the most recognizable villains in popular culture.
Over his 75 year history the Clown Prince of Crime has appeared in cartoons, live action television, movies, video games, and comics. Explore his inspirations and how he has changed with this awesome evolution infographic.
As you can see, the infographic pretty much featured every version of The Joker we've seen in the comic books, TV shows, and films. The LEGO Joker from the upcoming LEGO Batman Movie is still missing here, but that's probably because Warner Bros. hasn't released an image of that version yet. All we know is the actor who's voicing him. And of course, we all can't wait to see Jared Leto in Suicide Squad next year.
So which version of The Joker depicted here do you think is the coolest?
