Bill Finger’s creation The Joker has remained one of the most fascinating figures in all of pop culture and comic books medium.

It has fascinated artists for decades how someone can sink so far in to the murky depths of madness that they can’t even see the light anymore. Christopher Nolan set a high bar that director Todd Phillips almost touches with the ugly, grotesque, depressing and yet quite fantastic “Joker.”
