10 Things DC Comics Want You To Forget About The Joker‏

6. He Used To Have His Own Utility Belt

Which is at the exact opposite of the spectrum to the sort of accoutrements the Joker of the Golden and Silver Ages availed himself of. Where the modern day baddy equips himself mainly with various pointy items with which to murder anyone he comes into contact with who isn't wearing a cowl, the Joker who was preoccupied with masterminding his latest hilarious goof took stock of a very different inventory.

It stands to reason that, if Batman has a utility belt with which to store all his essential crime-fighting tools, then The Joker would have his own equivalent for crime-causing, right? And so he did, adorning his accessory in lipstick red and a buckle in his own image.

The Joker's gadgets include a hand buzzer, false cigarette pack and a handful of itching powder capsules, the sort of thing you'd expect to find in Bart Simpson's back pocket rather than a supervillain's.
