10 Insanely Dark Joker Moments That'll Never Make It To Film

4. Rape, Masturbation... And Skinning - Joker

In terms of depictions of The Joker, the graphic novel known only as Joker, features some his most despicable deeds. Pulling plenty from Heath Ledger€™s Joker, not to mention certain elements of Texas Chainsaw Massacre€™s Leatherface, this version of Batman€™s most famous nemesis is truly a horrible, horrible piece of work. During the story, Joker takes on a new associate by the name of Jonny Frost. Poor Jonny really didn€™t know what he was getting himself into. When The Joker finds out that Frost had met with Two-Face at one point, he deems this as €œcheating€, and in an act of revenge he proceeds to rape Jonny€™s ex-wife, which supposedly makes all things equal in his eyes. Yes, this Joker is a rapist. If that wasn€™t bad enough, he then forces a bank president to commit a horrible act - whilst not exactly confirmed in the story, there€™s plenty of fan speculation and evidence that points towards The Joker making the bank boss masturbate over a picture of his own daughter. And finally, this is the story where The Joker skins a poor soul by the name of Monty. Skinned. From head to toe. So yeah, in terms of sick and twisted acts, the version of Mr J depicted in Joker is arguably the darkest one that you'll ever see.
