The Joker for me is by far my favourite villian of all time. I even loved him in the old days of the animated series. His psychotic behaviour, his philosophies and just how he seems to radiate evil while still making sense in some strange way. Heath Ledger's performance did the Joker a great service, with one of my favourite scenes being the Joker telling Gambol (the black mob boss) how he got his scars... before giving Gambol his own set.

However, later in the movie he tells Rachel a completely different story so it's impossible to tell what his true history is. Today on the train I was thinking about this and thought up my own story of the Joker's scars.

"Want to know how i got these scars? When i was younger, my friends and i would spend a lot of time together. Killing cats, robbing stores you know. Stuff friends do. One day, my friends went off at me for being to serious, they said i need to enjoy myself more. By nightfall, they accidently drove off a cliff. Upset, i went to my father who told me good riddens... let's just say after that my father 'fell to pieces'. Covered in blood i went to the mirror, holding this knife. I looked at myself and said 'why so serious'? My friends wanted me to enjoy myself... to smile more... than fine. I said to myself 'lets put a smile on that face.'"

I would like to hear any stories the escapist community can think up in regards to the Joker's descent to madness and the origins of his iconic scars. The story must be told in first person and start with "want to know how i got these scars?"

So. Do you want to know... How.. How I got these scars?

One day.. I came home to my Crrrrazy wife. Now my wife. She..She tried to kill me. onnn numerous occasions. And that day she had strung some piano wire across the bottom of the stairs leading to the basement. So I was sitting there watching the TV and she asked me to get somethign out of the basement. I did what a normal husband would do and went to help her. She pushed me. Down. Down those stairs and I came face. first. into that piano wire.

Let's just say the piano wire is now rather....waterlogged....

Want to know how I got these scars? I used to be a happy guy, just like you. I used to smile and laugh at everyone I met. One day, I met a group of guys who just didn't feel like smiling. They were "tough" guys, so they diodn't think it was right for a guy to smile. So they grab me. One of them takes a switch blade. "You know" he says "its your lucky day. Since you love smiling, we're gonna make it easier for you. We're gonna keep you smiling all the time. Make you look real beautiful" He sticks it in my cheek, just under the bones. The pain...was...lovely. So they dropped me, with the knife in my face. I felt I needed to return the favour. I take it out, and I let them feel the same delicious pain. But then, I felt my own face. Why, it wasn't done at all. I couldn't go around with only half a smile on my face. So I shoved the knife in my cheeks, and drew, along my teeth, a perfect smile. And now, look at me. Aren't I beautiful?

You wanna know how I got these scars? I was dodging some vicious looking dogs by climbing an iron very ornate fence. I lost balance and fell... with the upper part of my leg into one of said very sharp ornaments. Barely missed my gnads and for that I am thankful.

You wanna know how I got these scars? In West Philadelphia, born and raised, on the playground is where I spent most of my days, chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool, and shootin' some B-Ball outside of the school, when a couple of guys who were up to no good, started makin' trouble in my neighborhood, and then took a blade to my face when I tried to fight them.

You see these scars on my face? My pretty little face here... You know those kind of story to them, a lesson if you will. You know what mum said to you when you little, waving those scissors about, "PUT THE SCISSORS DOWN OR YOU'LL TAKE AN EYE OUT WITH THAT THING".. Well My "BIG BROTHER" of sorts.. He started waving them round, and you see I was angry, he stole my cupcake.. So I reached out to take his.. and he waves them at me... But well you know.. Parents and mothers and all that interfering shit. So mumsy grabs my bros arm, he ain't happy with that so he starts a waving, and she's a screaming.. and hey little old me opens me mouth and suddenly I'm all smiling all the time... O'course my mother's gone ballistic the dogs in thick of it all what with all the barking and screaming and me brother there is just stunned like, mouth open like one of those.. CLOWNS eesh.. So I'm not happy. I take those scissors out of his hand and put them back in, except the wrong way. Now He starts screaming. so I take them out and try to pass them back, but he pushes me and I pretty much remove his fly... Mum being the helpful shit-faced C___ she is starts yelling at me, but the dog's hungry so I feed him the scrap meat on the floor, next to my brothers ketchup covered jeans.
Mum starts shaking me but I'm a good boy so I show the scissors nice and up close... and what do you know;

These things do take out eyes...

"You want to know how I got these scars? I, well, my father was a violent man. On my twenty-first birthday, we went to a bar together, and he got drunk, as he often does. I said something he apparently didn't like, and he pulled a knife on me. Oh, the pain was bliss! When he stopped, he dropped the knife on the bar counter, and had this shocked look on his face. So I picked the knife up and I asked him, 'Why so serious?' and then I put a smile on his face, too."

The Joker didn't kill Bruce Wayne's parents. He would have only been a kid then, himself. The Waynes' killer was a random thug named Joe Chill.
