Before going straight to the promised Joker quotes below, let’s figure some things out first. While we all know that the Joker is probably one of the best and the most compelling supervillains ever created, why not try and understand what exactly makes a good villain? Okay, first, the basics - a motive. A supervillain cannot be just ‘evil .’ There has to be an explanation for why he’s evil. Although the Joker himself has proved to be a very unreliable storyteller, his torturous childhood might give us a good idea of why he has turned out to be such a vengeful, psychotic criminal mastermind.
Another thing a respectable supervillain has to have is the same characteristics of his opponent hero, but very much misguided. Talking about the Joker, that might be his once-existent wish of making people feel good and laugh. Batman, his main nemesis, is also concerned about the well-being of Gotham’s citizens. See how the same intentions can lead to two very different outcomes? Okay, although there are plenty more qualities to make a memorable criminal mastermind, let’s finish our analysis with this - a supervillain cannot be a fool. And the Joker is anything but, as you’re about to see in the smart quotes that we’ve gathered from movies and comics featuring our titular bad guy.
Although a hardened criminal, the Joker seems to have wise words worthy of a book. He shares his thoughts on the surrealness of life, about the downfalls of humankind, the human condition itself, and, let’s not forget, his twisted sense of humor that gave us some of the best dark jokes. And with almost uncountable appearances on various media, the Joker’s wise quotes are aplenty, but be prepared that they are as grim and chilling as the character himself.
But, without any further talks, let’s check out the Joker quotes that we’ve prepared for your judgment. Don’t forget to vote for the most chilling, dark, or intelligent quotes, and share this article with your friends who just happen to be in that villain-adoring stage of life.
