- —The Joker
The Joker (real name unknown[Note 1]) is a supervillain from DC Comics. He appeared in the 62nd episode of Death Battle, Joker VS Sweet Tooth, where he fought against Sweet Tooth from the Twisted Metal series.
History
Jack Napier. Jeremiah Valeska. Arthur Fleck. These are just three possible identities to Gotham City's ultimate criminal mastermind with a past seemingly lost to eternity, the man known only as the Joker. Even to him, his past is an enigma. All that is known is that he was originally a common crook who was part a plot to rob A.C.E. Chemicals. During the raid, he encountered the vigilante Batman and jumped into a vat of chemicals to escape. While he avoided capture, the chemicals permanently bleached his skin white, lips red, and hair green, giving him the appearance of a clown. That experience has warped his mind, transforming the once poor man into an irredeemable, psychotic, clown-like murderer. Always with a sinister smile on his face, he wishes to spread his insanity to all around him, especially Batman and those he allies with, and prove that, to drive even the sanest man alive to lunacy, all it takes is one bad day.

While some stories within mainline continuity suggest that his Killing Joke backstory may be his official history, this still has not given him a proper identity prior to becoming the Joker.
