However, these psychological profiles cannot be confirmed, and so cannot truly define the social enigma that was the Joker. It was therefore possible that, while neither story was true, The Joker genuinely believed them both as he told them. Some psychological profiles of the Joker suggested that he was insane to such an extent that he reinvented both his identity and history on a daily basis. It wasn't revealed to what degree those stories held the truth if any. Instead, horrified by this act and new image, his wife leaves him, which further damages his already fragile and disturbed psyche. In a desperate effort to assure his wife that he didn't care about the damage to her appearance, Joker took a razor to his cheeks and made his Glasgow Smile match hers. That advice went overhead when her face was carved by enforcers of Loan Sharks, and the couple realized they didn't have enough money to pay for surgery. She implores him that he shouldn't worry so much, that he "should smile more". The fact that the Joker later referenced his father and his hatred of him to a party guest when he crashed Harvey Dent's fundraiser, implied there was an element of truth to that account.Īnother story that the Joker told was one concerning his gambling wife. One of Joker's anecdotes was of his supposed extremely abusive and alcoholic father, and stated that after his father attacked his mother with a knife, the blade was next turned on the young man, and hence created his mutilated smile. The Joker's own testimony, while seeming true when it came to making and carrying out threats, was at times contradictory, as he gave conflicting accounts of past events in his life in particular how he got the scars of his characteristic Glasgow Smile. As police commissioner James Gordon himself said "nothing.no name, no other alias." Despite being captured twice, no traces of the Joker's true identity could be found - no matches on fingerprints, dental records, or DNA within the GCPD's Databases. Little could be confirmed regarding his early days before he turned to a life of crime. Speaking of which, you know how I got these scars?" ―The Joker to Batman
