Joker. The Insane King of the Criminal World

A desperate psycho, a cold-blooded maniac, a devilishly funny clown – all this is the one and only Joker, the most terrifying and brilliant supervillain in the DC universe and possibly a couple of neighboring ones. He plans crimes that terrify all of Gotham City, cuts off or threatens to cut off the faces of his enemies, casually kills his accomplices when he no longer needs them, and wages an endless war against Batman – the superhero who resembles a monster more than the monster himself. What is going on in the Joker's mind, and what could he tell if he found himself on a psychiatrist's couch? Why did Harley Quinn, who tried to cure him, fall in love with him so deeply that she willingly plunged into a vat of chemicals? Did “one bad day” make the Joker who he is? Finally, who is he really – a madman unaware of his own actions, or a virtuoso-planning psychopath? These and many other questions are answered by Dr. Travis Langley, PhD, professor of psychology, and a fervent fan of the DC universe. For details, he turns to the creators of Batman, the Joker, and Harley Quinn, the actors who embodied their on-screen or gaming images, and specialists from the field of psychiatry.
