Description

This character from the 1920's movie 'the man who laughs' was apparently a major influence on the initial design for The Joker back in 1940. It's a great look and a lot scarier than any of the onscreen depictions of The Joker over the subsequent decades.

This character was a major influence on Bob Kane and Bill Finger for The Joker.
