You know, even a Mistah J obsessed slug like me, a long time ago, hated the Joker. I liked Harley very much and I knew he was unkind and violent to her. So, I simply hated him. But the question was:why does Harley love a monster like that?

Time passed and I was now more 'attracted' to Joker than to Harls. I still LOVE Harley, but it isn't the same as with Mr.J.

I'm glad that some people agree with me. Here there are the most frequent reasons why fans find him so interesting:

1. He's the perfect antithesis of Batman. For people who like super evil villains, he's a must.

2. He's funny. To do a really good Joker, the artist should know that whatever he does, he would chose the funniest action.

3. He's crazy. He can't ACT crazy, no? But his craziness is...er...likeable, more or less.

4. Maybe he isn't THAT wrong. He was a poor man desperately searching fo a way out his difficult life, and he fell into a vat of chemicals. When he went out he realized that the substance turned him in a white, green-haired, grinning freak. So, he did the only thing he had left to do: go crazy.

5. He's yummy. He could be. I mean, the best in this sense is without a doubt Brian Bolland's Joker, in the Killing Joke. His Joker is tall (like 1.90m), thin (but not starved, just naturally lean), sharp dressed (we all know how important are clothes to him. Brian Bolland dresses him up with the colors he adores in a suit that just fits him), teathrical (he's a consumed comedian, he views the world as his stage after all) and feminine. Not QUEER, for god's sake, feminine is another thing. He's graceful. His attitude is delicate. His masculinity isn't aggressive like his fits of anger. He can be fey. His behavior has to reflect it.

Some girls like his hair. That's a good point. His hair is regulary pomaded,but always rebel, like him.
