10 Insane Alternate Versions Of The Joker You Won’t Believe Exist

10. The Joker Dragon - Dark Nights: Metal

When the Dark Night: Metal series promoted its release with Batman riding a dragon-esque version of the Joker, it was hard to resist the urge to ring the nearest comic store and order every single copy of the comic that they had in stock.

It should feel kind of cheesy - after all, villains have been transforming into dragons roughly as long as we've had villains - but through luck or by the talents of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, the villain is decidedly terrifying in this form instead.

With all this initial hype, it was slightly cruel that our first proper look at the Joker Dragons was in the sixth issue of the series, but given that it did involve the Dark Knight successfully defeating and then taming one of the beasts to use as a mode of transport, you can't stay mad for all that long.

Although for some people it was likely a little over the top, seeing the Joker breathing poisonous gas as fire with a crazy green dragon-mane is one of those things that you have to love, even if you know it's not the world's most original concept.
