The Joker is a complex character.

Batman's archenemy has been portrayed in a variety of ways, each distinct: Whether he's a self-described "agent of chaos" (Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight), a smug sadist (voiced by Mark Hamill in Batman: The Animated Series), a heavily tattooed murderer (Jared Leto in Suicide Squad), a victim of the systemic failings of capitalism and a lack of mental healthcare (Joaquin Phoenix in Joker), or a sharply dressed killer jester (Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton's Batman), one thing the Clown Prince of Crime isn't is a good guy.

Nevertheless, he's full of sharp insights about the world and witty asides. The Joker is loud, obvious, and chaotic, whereas Bruce Wayne is frequently calm, collected, and measured. This is why he is the ideal counterpoint to Batman.

In fact, The Joker may better be known as The Quoter, given his penchant for gallows humor, witty banter, and both dark and light observations about life. Check out these 10 quotations from the Joker from different Batman movies, TV series, and comic books for evidence. They all capture the unique, unmistakable wit of this wild card.
