His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He tricks Mister Mxyzptlk into giving 99.99% of his power to him which making the Joker nigh omnipotent.
- He reshapes the whole world in his image with his powers, a twisted caricature where everyone is stuck in a loop.
- He tortures Batman multiple times to death, reviving him each time to repeat the process out of only sadism and the thrills.
- He has Jimmy Olson beaten to death.
- He kills Lex Luthor over and over again for fun.
- He eats the whole population of China and jokes that it's a real Chinese food made from real Chinese.
- He tries to destroy the whole universe out of belief that no universe that created a monster like him should exist.
- While he changes his mind about destroying the universe and gives up his powers, he only does this when Superman pointed out he couldn't live without Batman, thus it's not real redemption.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He loves Harley Quinn and expresses his affection by turning her into a constellation and saying, "I've always wanted to see my dame in the lights."
- He is self-loathing, which is treated sympathetically by the story, as he viewed himself as a monster and believes that no universe that created a monster like him should exist.
