DC Comics (founded in 1934 as National Allied Publications) is one of the largest and most
successful companies operating in the market for American comic books and related media. It
is the publishing division of DC Entertainment Inc., a subsidiary company of Warner Bros.
Entertainment, which itself is owned by Time Warner. DC Comics produces material featuring
a large number of well-known characters, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman,
Aquaman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Hawkman, and such
superhero teams as the Justice League and the Teen Titans, and such antagonists as Lex
Luthor, the Joker, Two Face, the Penguin, General Zod, the Riddler, Bizarro, Sinestro,
Catwoman, and Darkseid. The initials "DC" came from the company's popular series
Detective Comics, which subsequently became part of the company's official name, rendering
it "Detective Comics Comics". DC Comics has its official headquarters at 1700 Broadway,
Midtown Manhattan, New York, New York.

The Joker is a fictional character, a supervillain who appears in comic books published by DC
Comics. He is the archenemy of Batman, having been directly responsible for numerous
tragedies in Batman's life, including the paralysis of Barbara Gordon and the death of Jason
Todd, the second Robin. Created by Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger and Bob Kane, the character
first appeared in Batman #1 (Spring 1940).
Throughout his comic book appearances, the Joker is portrayed as a master criminal whose
characterization has varied. The original and currently dominant image is of a highly
intelligent psychopath with a warped, sadistic sense of humor, while other writers have
portrayed him as an eccentric prankster. Similarly, throughout the character's long history,
there have been several different origin tales; they most commonly depict him as falling into
a tank of chemical waste, which bleaches his skin white and turns his hair green and his lips
bright red, giving him the appearance of a clown. He has been repeatedly analyzed by critics
as the perfect adversary for Batman; their long, dynamic relationship often parallels the
concept of yin and yang.
