Sometime later, the Clown Prince of Crime encounters Scorpion, who is searching for Kitana. However, when Liu Kang mysteriously appears, the Joker escapes as Batman investigates. He is easily defeated and quickly surrenders, getting cuffed by Batman. Batman easily survives the explosive, frustrating the Joker, who decides to fight Batman himself. The Joker first appears in Gotham City, ambushing Batman by throwing an exploding clown doll on the hood of the Batmobile. From then on, the Joker's brilliantly sadistic and reprehensible actions would plague Gotham City at-large for years to come, with his murderous, unpredictable formability causing him to become Batman's chief adversary in the vigilante's war on crime. The man begins crying, then giggling, and suddenly bursts into laughter, driven irredeemably insane by one bad day and a horrible disfigurement. Discarding the hood, the man looks at his reflection in a puddle of rain and sees his skin bleached white, his hair turned emerald green, and his mouth unnaturally stretched into a rictus grin. Washing ashore, the man feels burning in his face and eyes. Cowering from him, the man loses his footing and falls into a large vat of chemicals before Batman can save him. It's then that Gotham's recently-established nocturnal avenger, the vigilante known only as the Batman, descends upon him on one of the chemical plant's catwalks. Coming under fire, both of the criminals are killed by gunfire from police officers, leaving the man in the Hood alone. Feeling hopeless, the man agrees to the job and breaks into the chemical plant with the criminals as the Red Hood. Right before the job was to be carried out, the man learns that his wife and unborn child were killed in a fire at their apartment. Not able to make ends meet, he is recruited by a group of career criminals to assist in a heist at his former chemical plant using the traded off guise of the Red Hood. The most well-known of these is about a chemist with a pregnant wife, down on his luck and trying to make money as a stand-up comedian after being laid off from his job at the chemical company. There are, however, a few prevailing versions of what could be his origin story. Because of his chronic and deeply seated insanity, there is no definitive story of how the man who would become the Joker came to be.
