The Batman and the Joker have long been partners of equal-standing within the DC Universe. It's hard to imagine, dare I say impossible to imagine, one existing without the other. They are two great forces opposed to one another, one of good and one of evil, neither capabᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚle of completely eradicating the other. I don't think I'm the only one who thinks that if Batm꧒an is the greatest hero that DC can offer, Joker is also the greatest villain.

With such fame to his name, the Joker has seen many iterations of his character. Different writers, artists, actors, and directors have crafted the Joker to suit their needs, and we as the audience are able to judge which we like the most. Many sources have poured their own ideas into the Joker so that his character is teeming with insane facts. Today, I'm here to lead you over the facts regarding the Joker's body. (Ew, am I right?) Before you leave this list screaming in disgust, I think you should give these entrieꦉs a look. Come on, your curiosity is biting you, right? With a personality like the Joker's, you know there are going to be some pretty nifty facts regarding his person in this list.

Let me tell you right from the beginning that the Joker's physical state is just as weird as his mental state. You are about to read some very weird tꦇhings. Read on if you want to learn more about the Clown Prince of Crime and his unsightly physique.

25 Why Mosquitos Shoul෴dn't Sip From The Joker

The Joker looks like the kind of guy who spends a lot of time spilling the blood of others. Conversely, he's sh🌜ed his fair share of blood while he's gotten pummeled by the good guys. At the same time, he's dealt in toxin and poisons that affect the blood of his victims (think Joker Venom).

As such, his bloodstream is now a toxic cesspool.

When a mosquito sucks the Joker's blood, it does not live long enough to enjoy its success in puncturing another victim. That's right. The J🦩oker is a danger to mosquitoes.

24 A Permanent G🐼rin 𝓀

Why so serious? I think the better question is why so hilarious. It is a rare day indeed when we see the Joker without his signature smile. We are constantly greeted by that wide, tooth-filled smile of the Joker's whenever he has enacted some sinister plot. One of the reasons given for Joker's ecstatic expression is that his facial nerves are paralyzed. He is forever stuck with a smile on his face.

Admittedly, in some iterations, I have seen the Joker frown in displeasure, but in others, he is never without a grin. Think Jack Nicholson's Joker.

23 💙 Ain't No Rest For The Wicked ✅

It is official. The Joker can now haunt the Batman for an eternity. Or,🌊 I suppose, for as long as the Batman is alive, because the Joker isn't going anywhere. Turns out that the Joker is immortal now.

Gotham's worst nightmare doesn't age.

Jim Gordon found evidence that the Joker had𝓡 been plaguing Gotham for a lot longer than he had previously thought. In addition to this evidence, we also know that the Joker has spent some time taking a dip in a Ra's al Ghul's favorite swimming spot, but we'll get into that later.

22 ꩲ The Unnatural Length

Joker's features have become iconic to us over the ages. The color of his skin, hair, and lips are recognizable in an instant, but one feature that defines him occasionally getꦉs overlooked.

Unlike most of the normal-looking people in Gotham, the Joker has a strangely elongated jaw that adds length to his evil grin. Apparently, the Joker received a massive punch to the face before he fell into the vat of chemicals that turned him into the Joker. He transformed into the Joker with a broken jaw, which explains its unnatural length.

21 𝐆 Want To Know How He Got Those🍌 Scars?

Heath Ledger arguably gave us one of the best live-action portrayals of the Joker we have ever seen. (Sorry Jack Nicholson and Jared Leto.) Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight added a twist to his iconic smile.

In the movie, the Joker has what is called a "Glasgow smile."

A Glasgow smile is a smile created by slicing outward from the corners of a person's mouth to their cheek, creating▨ a scarred smile. We might never know the real story behind how he got those scars, but at least we know what they're called.

20 Nothing To Feel ಞ

Ever wonder how the Joker, without having any real training in ninja arts like Batman, is able to hold his own against the Caped C๊rusader? Turns out that 🍨one of Joker's greatest powers is his body's ability to take a beating.

The Joker has an extraordinarily high pain threshold.

Despite the advanced skills Batman has in combat, the Joker is like o🍒ne of those inflatabl🐻e clowns that you can kick down but will bounce back up again. Who knew that a tolerance to pain could prove so useful to a Clown Prince of Crime?

19 Who's Afraid Of The Big B🐻ad Scarecrow?

Despite being evil together, villains do not always get along with each other. So while members of Batman's gallery of rogues might join forces to bring down the Dark Knight, that does not stop the💧m from fighting with each other.

The Scarecrow, known for his Fear Gas and his penchant for spraying it everywhere, once turned against the Joker. Curious about his fears, Scarecrow sprayed the Joker with an unhealthy dose of his Fear gas. The Joker was completely immune to it. Either that, or he is afraid of nothing.

18 💙 Mystery Height

One puzzling aspect of the Joker's body is his actual height. Purportedly, the Joker is six feet and five inches, which is pretty freaking tall. It's taller than Superman's height, and taller than Batman's heig🎃ht.

However, if෴ that's the case, why is the Joker always depicted as being smaller than Batman. If you look at the numerous drawings of Batman and Jok🌱er in the comics, Batman is seen as towering over the skinny figure of the Joker. Clearly there is some discrepancy going on here.

17 🧸 𒆙 The Occasional Bit Of Body Art

Normally, we see the Joker wearing crisp or frumpy purple suits, looking for all the world like a very strange and colorful businessman. In fairly recent iterations of the Joker, a tougher design for his character has been used which includes tattoos decorating the his body.

In Suicide Squad, Jared Leto's Joker sported several Joker-related tattoos over his white skin. In All-Star Batman and Robin, Joker was also drawn with a very large and, dare I say, thuggish dragon tattoo spread over his back, arms, 💜and chest.

16 The Joker's Inspiration ❀

Conrad Veidt The Man Who Laughs

Some of the best characters ever created were inspired by people who came before them. The Joker was inspired by the character of Gwynplaine in a silent film called The Man Who Laughs. 

The actor who played Gwynplaine was called Conrad Veidt, and as soon as you take a look at him in the film, it's easy to see the similarities between his features and the Joker's. The lengt🃏hened jaw, bright eyes, and sharply lifted cheekbones are🌌 hard to miss.
