==''Injustice: Gods Among Us - Comic''==
+
The Joker is the direct cause of the events of ''Injustice''. Five years before the main game, the Joker kills fellow psychopath [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Scarecrow Jonathan Crane] off-panel. He steals the [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Scarecrow Scarecrow]'s fear toxin and dumps his body in S.T.A.R. Labs. At the Labs, he murders several scientists who had been experimenting on kryptonite.
+
+
The Joker is first seen luring [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Lois_Lane Lois Lane] and [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Jimmy_Olsen Jimmy Olsen], [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Superman Superman]'s wife and best pal, to the [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Metropolis Metropolis] docks with a false tip-off. While the two are distracted by a disguised [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Harley_Quinn Harley Quinn], Joker kills Jimmy by shooting him through his camera lens. He happily greets a terrified Lois, as he and Harley ditch their disguises. He later hijacks a nuclear submarine that he takes far out into open sea. When the superhuman community learns his location, Superman is first on the scene, scuttling the sub and tearing the hull open.
+
+
The Joker and Harley operate on Lois as the Man of Steel bursts into the sub, but before he can do anything, the Joker gasses him with Crane's fear toxin - laced with kryptonite. Superman suddenly sees [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Doomsday Doomsday] and tackles the monster into the sky. Joker tells Harley it's time to go, though his childish accomplice is reluctant to part with their stolen sub, that she named. He warns her that the do-gooders will arrive any moment, so she bids goodbye to 'Gunther' and the pair turns to escape.
+
+
Suddenly, Joker and Harley are pinned down by a giant hand projected from [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Green_Lantern Green Lantern's] ring. Green Lantern and Wonder Woman touch down just as [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Batman Batman] arrives, carried by the [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Flash Flash]. The Joker is overjoyed to see his nemesis and takes delight in mocking him for having been raced over on the Flash. When Batman investigates the sub and finds nothing, he demands to know Lois' location. Joker reveals that he performed an operation on Lois to turn her into a "trigger."
+
+
He also placed the submarine's warhead in [http://injusticegodsamongus.wikia.com/wiki/Metropolis Metropolis], having attached it to Lois' heartbeat. Batman figures out the situation too late to warn Superman. Joker asks him, "Did you know she was pregnant?" before being punched by his nemesis. The toxin wears off and Superman realizes he took his wife and their unborn child into space, their two heartbeats stopping at once. Joker and Harley watch in glee as Metropolis is destroyed, the heroes horrified.
+
+
The Joker is locked up for interrogation in Gotham Prison with Batman, who wants to know why the Joker went so far as to take everything from Superman. He responds that he didn't need a reason to do it, enraging Batman. The Joker replies that he always lost against Batman, so he'd try to play his games on an easier level. He goes so far as to say destroying Metropolis was "as easy as killing a puppy with a kitten."
+
+
Turing philosophical, the Clown Prince of Crime asks Batman, "What do you think Superman will become?" His nemesis firmly believes Superman will rise from the pain the Joker has inflicted on him, and that the Man of Steel is uncorruptible. The Joker laughs, and asks, "You honestly think your friend will still be fun to play with?" When Batman still says that Superman will recover, the Joker replies grimly, "No. I think it's going to be a whole lot funnier than that."
+
+
Moments later, Superman himself breaks through the wall, shoving Batman aside and grabbing the Joker. The Clown Prince of Crime's words come to pass and he exhales a final laugh as Superman impales him through the chest with his entire arm. The Joker dies with a smile on his face while Batman looks on in horror.
+
==''Injustice: Gods Among Us''==
+
The Joker appears in the interrogation room in the GCPD (Gotham City Police Department) after nuking Metropolis, where he was being interrogated by Batman, which was then cut short when Superman appeared and soon killed the Joker, much to the same way he was murdered by Superman in the comic series this scene was based on.
+
+
Normal Joker first appears after Batman and co. discover Lex Luthor gave him a nuke to blow up Metropolis. He is seen arming the bomb next to a statue of Superman in Metropolis, much to the excitement of his world's Harley Quinn. After Harley discovers Batman was teleporting to their location, the Joker forcefully makes Harley return to their van as he has a conversation with Batman and takes the bomb off standby. As he activates the bomb, most of the heroes charging to the Joker get so close to putting an end to the bomb threat until they all get teleported into the altered future, where Batman and Joker are separated from the other teleported, namely Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Aquaman and Green Lantern. After Batman realises he's in a different Metropolis, the Joker gets frustrated with Batman and the trigger and attacks Batman, but he is defeated. Regime troops appear and attempt to aprehend Batman, much to Joker's amusement, but Batman escapes using a sonar disruptor and smoke grenade gadgets, allowing the Joker to escape in the ensuing chaos.
+
+
The Joker tries to find his old gang by hijacking and killing the troops in the van by traveling to Gotham City, where he discovers he is known and existed in this world. Before he could do anything, Batman attempts to surprise the Joker, but the Joker countered this, which weakened Batman. The Joker was able to beat Batman and almost was able to use his Joker Toxin spray on Batman, but he spotted Yellow Lantern and Hawkgirl, and ran off to watch what would happen to Batman, which would be Batman's capture. As the Joker retires to his original plan, he finds himself with the altered future's version of Harley Quinn, now going by as Harleen Quinzel as a "hero." As Joker tries to persuade to Harleen that he really was the Joker at gunpoint, he engages in battle and emerges the victor. Harleen realises that this was the Joker by the way he fights, and is overjoyed. Harleen takes Joker to her Joker Clan at the abandoned Arkham Asylum ruled by the Joker Clan.
+
+
The Joker adresses the crowd of Joker Clan, posing as their Joker from their timeline, and introduces what he calls the "Happy Pill" that gives him superhuman durability etc. No longer after that, the Regime ambushes the event. The Joker is repeatedly shot by a trooper, but survives and thanks his "Happy Pill" (aka 5U93R by Insurgency Batman). Soon, Shayera and Damian Wayne (Hawkgirl and the new/altered future Nightwing) arrive to the scene and engage the Joker Clan. As Harley is busy, Hawkgirl attacks the Joker, believing him to be the Joker from their world. The Joker defeats Hawkgirl and attempts to sever one or more feathers from one of her wings, but Nightwing notices the Joker and charges towards him. The Joker notices Damian and throws his playing cards at him, until the Joker either overpowers him or is hit by Nightwing (player luck and precision decides outcome). The Joker proceeds to mock Nightwing for changing sides from being Batman's ally to Superman's 'pet', believing him to still be Dick Grayson. He also corrects Nightwing when he says Batman's a criminal like him by saying that he's not like him and that "Batman corrupts young minds while I bash them out of their skulls". A fight ensues, and defeats Nightwing. Altered Future Batman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Green Arrow and Wonder Woman on the Insurgency rush in, and both Hawkgirl and Nightwing retreat thanks to Harley's call for help. The group is surprised to see the Joker, which leads them to the conclusion that Batman was sent to the parallel dimension as well, and so the Joker is aprehended by Insurgency Batman.
+
+
The Joker is later broken out of custody by Harley Quinn, despite her orders from Batman. The two of them hijack a Regime vehicle and confront Insurgency Lex Luthor on his way to assist the Insurgency forces against the Regime. The Joker orders Harley to take down Luthor and take his suit, but she fails. Annoyed with her, the Joker fires Harley and attempts to kill her, but Luthor intervenes and takes the Joker down in a fight. Enraged by his attempt on her life, Harley tries to kill the Joker with his knife, but Luthor convinces her to stand down, saying she's outgrown him.
+
+
In the epilogue, the Joker is shown being lead at gunpoint by Harley Quinn to the portal that will take him back to his dimension.

*Proficient with knives and firearms

*Unpredictable, skilled in hand-to-hand combat
Although The Joker is a human man with no particular enhancements, natural or otherwise, his lack of sanity and rationality have often been a fatal weapon for his victims: he is unencumbered by rational thought and is therefore extraordinarily creative, vindictive and sadistic. This has translated to his many schemes over the years, as well as in his hand-to-hand combat style. Although Joker prefers to have henchmen do the "dirty work" for him, having a resourceful nemesis like Batman has forced Joker to be able to fight hand-to-hand in situations that force him to. Sometimes using weapons that play off his clownish appearance, he also makes use of stabbing weapons and firearms, and always attempts to use his methods of killing in ways that he finds ironic and humorous.

*'''The Killing Joke:''' Joker takes out a gun and shoots it, but instead of a bullet, some confetti and a flag with the word "Bang" on it pop out of the barrel. He drops it and starts to laugh. He then pulls out a real gun and shoots the opponent in the head, killing them. In the North American version, this fatality is edited so that the camera zooms in on Joker as he delivers the fatal shot, cutting the victim out of the frame. ''(MKvsDCU)''
