Not much is known about the joker other then his strive to put gotham back into the control of it's criminals. This version of the joker is more philosophical committing mass crimes to prove that even the highest of heroes can be brought to a criminal level. He focuses more on manipulating his targets into killing each other, themselves, or another being (himself in terms of batman) only defending himself when neccesary.

As for his history, only two stories were revealed, both pertaining to how he got the slitted scars on either side of his mouth. One entails that he cut them open in an attempt to please his wife and the other a vengeful tactic by an enraged father. Whether either story is true no one knows due to inconsistencies in both stories.

One common trait he does exhibit when killing individual victims includes slitting the corners of their mouth and painting their face in clown like makeup to give a similar appearance to his own face.


Notes- I took off a few things like the psychiatry and statecraft in arkum asyum because from what we saw in the movie he had not been there yet. I couldn't really find a good reason why he would have reconstitute self so i took it off He hadnt been through the constant explosions and attacks at that pont.

I did keep the toughness and mental defense. Mainly because the joker could not be reasoned with or manipulated at any point in the movie and he did take a pretty good beating. I kept tech at 5 because he knew how to use a lot of assorted gear he just didnt make everything himself hence the wealth. As for his posse, I gave him manipulation not only to manipulate his foes but to manipulate mob bosses to steal their men for his gang, which he does frequently.

Other then that, its all pretty much based on the movie, I'm going to see it again on tuesday to refresh my memory a bit. He's more of a origin joker then anything.

Some of the stats seem a little high for the Joker. Remember, he mentioned what he did with some gasoline and a little dynamite. He is definitely a low tech character who maximizes through psychology. His CUNNING is extremely high. I'm not sure exactly what he "invented" in the Dark Knight. He did put a bomb in a body, but did he invent the devise? Not sure about "Reconstitute Self" either. However, since I have no CAD of my own to offer yet, you can disregard the whole post.
