In a way, one of the greatest deaths of the Joker is also his true starting point. Its the sequence re-imagined and immortalized in comics, in cartoons, and in film when the man fell into the Ace Chemical acid vat and ceased to exist. Its the snuffing out of the mere man, be it the failed comedian, the crimson-hooded crime boss, or the cruel mob enforcer. What bubbles to the surface with its clenched white hands, green hair, and bared teeth is reborn. The Clown Prince of Crime is here, and the deadly cycle has begun.
