<br/><br/> The Joker stands out as one of the most recognisable comics characters in popular culture. While there has been a great deal of scholarly attention on superheroes, very little has been done to understand supervillains. This academic work provides a comprehensive study of this villain, illustrating why the Joker appears so relevant to audiences today.
