As the most iconic Batman supervillain, The Joker is a must for collectors of DC Comics Statues and Busts.
The manic laugh, the purple suits, the green hair of these statues are instantly recognisable as the Joker.
First created in 1940 by Bob Kane, Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson the Joker has been menacing Gotham city ever since.
The character of the Joker began as a psychopath with a warped, sadistic sense of humour.
This dark portrayal of the villain was replaced briefly during the 1950s due to regulation by the Comics Code Authority which transformed the Joker into a goofy prankster.
In the 1970s, the Joker was able to develop once again as a darker character and helped define the Batman stories,
The Joker is considered to be the perfect adversary of Batman since he provides a mirror in personality and appearance to the Hero.
