The Joker is a villain from the Batman comic book series, best known for his appearences in the 1966 Batman movie based off of the TV show played by Caesar Romero, the Tim Burton 1989 Batman film played by Jack Nicholson, and the recent film, The Dark Knight, played by the deceased Heath Ledger. He loves balloons and gets pissed when other people steal them. Hell, he even shot one of his own henchmen because of Batman doing it. Despite his gay makeup/chemical colors, the Joker himself is not gay due to him at one point telling [[Batman]] to [[Sex|never rub another man's rubharb]].
