infobox image
Hi, I was wondering why the infobox image was changed? It used to feature the promotional artwork for Batman: Three Jokers (in the Character biography section). I think that was a better option, as it visually represents the character across three eras. Should we switch it back? Lililolol (talk) 21:53, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

The Joker
Consider the REAL LIFE of John Dillinger and I think you might find the best influence of all on this character as a subconscious kind of Zeitgeist.... There is no better candidate! ~2026-17513-1 (talk) 07:03, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
Add "The" to article title
"The" is universally added before Joker in terms of reliable sources and general common name, and as such this should article be titled "The Joker (character)" similar to the article on "The Doctor" from Doctor Who. ~2026-39291-59 (talk) 02:41, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
