Of all the super hero comic book characters I think this one, The Joker, has had the most varied interpretations both in the comics and on TV and at the movies than any other. More so than any hero, this psychotic villain has sparked interest from so many different creative artists and writers. Is it because a villain is more interesting to write? That a villain is more creative to portray or to illustrate? Without doing the research The Joker may be the most famous and most well known, by the general public, comic book villain of all time.
