What Happened To Everyone Who Dated Joker?

10. Jeannie - The Killing Joke

Jeannie is perhaps the Joker's most famous romance aside from Harley, as we learn about her in the iconic comic cornerstone that is The Killing Joke - where she is admittedly a part of the Joker's origin story, and so may only theoretically exist, given the villain has no single concrete backstory.

In a series of flashback that appears throughout the entire comic, we see a young, well-meaning Joker trying to support his wife, Jeannie.

Despite the failed comedian's intense self-loathing, Jeannie seems to genuinely love the soon-to-be villain, making it perhaps inevitable that his fall to costumed crime involves her tragic untimely death.

Because - in an accident involving a baby bottle heater overheating - Jeannie dies the day that the Joker agrees to rob a Chemical Plant in order to support her and their unborn child. This creates a suitably ironic set of circumstances for the Joker to be born into, where the robbery that results in his transformation is done by a man who now has no motivation to actually commit the crime.
