Batman: Arkham Asylum Joker Details

Eidos released information on the Joker in the upcoming Action Adventure game "Batman: Arkham Asylum" by Rocksteady Studios:

REAL NAME: Unknown
OCCUPATION: Professional Criminal
Base of Operations: Gotham City
EYES: Green
HAIR: Green
HEIGHT: 6 ft
WEIGHT: 160 lb
FIRST APPEARANCE: Batman #1 (Spring 1940)

An insanely homicidal super-villain, the Joker’s white skin, green hair, and blood-red lips belie the chaotic nature underlying his cartoonish appearance. The self-styled Clown Prince of Crime has no superpowers, beyond a capacity for incredible violence and a skill at creating deadly mayhem. He frequently concocts elaborate schemes to entrap his arch nemesis, Batman.

Attributes:

• Unrepentant homicidal maniac, albeit without a precise psychological diagnosis
• Surprisingly strong hand-to-hand combatant
• His past is unknown; conflicting, unconfirmed reports state that he was a failed comedian, a petty thief, and a broken family man
• Employs various deadly weapons, often based on party-gag items
• Frequently uses a toxin that stretches victim’s face into a Joker-like grin and causes death
