10 Worst Things Comic Villains Have Done To Regular People

10. Joker Goes After The Gordon Women - Batman

Joker's history of torturing Barbara Gordon's Batgirl is well documented at this point. However, she is not the only one of the Gordon gals that he has targeted over his long reign as the Clown Prince of Crime.

For example, there's the time he kidnaps Barbara's mother, tying her to a chair with a bomb underneath it in the middle of a roller disco. As if the very idea of visiting a roller disco isn't bad enough, Batgirl is forced into marrying the evil clown if she wants her mother to survive.

Then there's the time Joker kidnaps every baby in Gotham. When Sarah Essen-Gordon, Batgirl's stepmother, discovers where he's hiding the newborns, he rewards her for her bravery with a bullet in the head.

Alongside the infamous time in The Killing Joke when he paralyses and violates Barbara, Joker seems to have a real beef with any woman related to Commissioner Jim Gordon. This is perhaps the most disgusting part of the whole ordeal: it's all for Jim. Joker couldn't care less about the women he's physically attacking, murdering, or permanently harming: it's all in the name of psychologically torturing Jim Gordon.

We've said it before and we'll say it again: this Joker guy sounds like a real jerk!
