Ranking Every Joker Origin Worst To Best

9. The Pale, Immortal Man - Endgame

So, the New 52. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo introduced quite a few changes for Batman's world, and while the mythology they constructed for the Joker didn't last, it was certainly one of the more curious origins that's been conceived during the Dark Knight's modern years.

Snyder and Capullo's comic optioned the theory that the Joker was actually one of the oldest beings on Earth, likening him to Vandal Savage and Ra's al Ghul as an immortal - or at least as a figure able to cheat death. The story goes that Joker - also known as the "Pale Man" - has been using Lazarus Pits long before the Head of the Demon discovered them, and has in fact been wandering Gotham for centuries.

As with most origins it remains unclear as to whether or not the Joker truly is immortal, but given this storyline then fed into the Three Jokers theory mentioned earlier, it is possible that at least one of them is much, much older than we all originally thought.
