Notes

  1. ^ Anders, Lou (2008). "Two of a Kind". Batman Unauthorized: Vigilantes, Jokers, and Heroes in Gotham City. BenBella Books. p. 26. ISBN 9781935251316. In Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum, when asked by a henchman if they can unmask the captive Batman to see his true face, the Joker snapped, 'That is his true face.'
  2. ^ Anders, Lou (2008). "Two of a Kind". Batman Unauthorized: Vigilantes, Jokers, and Heroes in Gotham City. BenBella Books. p. 28. ISBN 9781935251316. The notion that the [Joker] is 'criminally insane' was given more depth in the Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers run in a 1978 story entitled 'The Laughing Fish' ... which combined a deliberate reworking of the Joker's original 1940s appearance with a severely demented personality. To date, this issue remains one of the best portrayals of the character's madness. [...] From that point forward, the Joker was always depicted as being ... batshit crazy.
  3. ^ Anders, Lou (2008). "Two of a Kind". Batman Unauthorized: Vigilantes, Jokers, and Heroes in Gotham City. BenBella Books. p. 29. ISBN 9781935251316. By 2007, the Joker was indisputably one of the most dangerous and insane villains in DC's entire universe. This is evidence in the 1995 three-issue Underworld Unleashed, in which Flash-nemesis the Trickster said, 'When super-villains want to scare each other, they tell Joker stories.'
