The act traces its roots to Ledger's performance where he pretends to be a member of the Honor Guard at Commissioner Loeb's funeral and shoots Jim Gordon. Disguising himself as a member of the GCPD, he leads a massacre that ends in the death of Commissioner Sarah Essen. Taking inspiration from Ledger's portrayal, Jerome delights in inciting terror in the city's inhabitants and making videos of himself torturing others. Not concerned about money, attention, even power, he just wants to turn Gotham into his own madhouse. The Joker is very much defined by his chaotic actions.
Slowly, this false persona begins to unravel to make way for his true nature as a ruthless, apathetic killer tired of having to deal with the nagging from an unfit parent. When first introduced to Jerome, he appears as a fragile young man mourning the loss of his beloved mother. In the 1960s, he was nothing more than a fun-loving prankster played by Caesar Romero while in recent years, darker aspects of his personalities have played out in the forms of Heath Ledger's chaotic anarchist in The Dark Knight and Jared Leto's attention-seeking gangster in Suicide Squad. Beginning with a series of uncomfortable giggles, Jerome unleashed the sinister laughter after being found guilt of the murder of his mother.Īlong with his laugh, the Joker is also known for his various personalities, each portrayed by a different actor over the years.
Wanting to develop a range for the character, Hamill described the process of defining the laugh by "find places to open little windows into the psyche of this psycho." In "The Blind Fortune Teller," Jerome Valeska was able to perfectly capture the terror-inducing power of such a diabolical chuckle. One of the Joker's most recognizable traits is his maniacal laugh, best portrayed by Mark Hamill in Batman: The Animated Adventures.
