Ask anyone on the street the question, who is the greatest Batman villain?, most of them will undoubtedly answer The Joker. The Jokers popularity has changed opinion into fact: The Joker is the greatest Batman villain of all time. And if youve spent any time in a comic shop or reading Top 10 articles online, youd know that some would even argue that The Joker is the single greatest super villain of all time. With all of this in mind, it not that far of a stretch to also make the claim that the Joker is not only the most sadistic Bat-villain but potentially the most sadistic villain of all time. The Joker is the perfect foil for the Dark Knight in every way. More specifically related to the topic at hand: where Batman is the master of deduction and logic, the Joker is the king of chaos and insanity. Batman values life and justice, where the Joker champions crime and death. The Joker has been responsible for more deaths than one could possibly count, including Batmans second Robin, Jason Todd. In the famous Death in the Family story arc, The Joker brutally and viciously beat to death with a crow bar. The Joker is also responsible for paralyzing Barbra Gordon. In Alan Moores famous Batman Story, The Killing Joke, The Joker shoots Barbra Gordon, leaving the once Batgirl paralyzed. It doesnt end there: after The Joker shoots Barbra, he then takes photos of him raping her and proceeds to show them to Barbras father, Commissioner Gordon. Without a doubt, The Joker is by far the most sadistic, violent, unhinged sociopath Batman has to deal with on a consistent basis. No other villain has caused so much death and destruction in the Bat-verse.
