Looking Into The Philosophy Of The Joker

With the release of both Batman: The Killing Joke and Suicide Squad, the Joker is all the rage again. Now the folks at Wisecrack have put together a really nice, detailed breakdown of the philosophy of the Joker and just how his existence is a direct reaction to that of Batman's. They go back and look at the character from his creation in comics, his origin and his appearances in other mediums.

I just posted a piece on Doomsday and realize that both of these characters were created and used without origins only to have a sympathetic / tragic motivation added later on.
