The Joker strikes quadrople

FULL SCREEN OR ELSE YOU MISS IT!

I wanted to make this pic for quite a while so at some point I simply told myself, "go for it!".

This is another fake poster, this time for a Batman movie, in it, a Dark lord we all know and love decides to bring into the world four jokers from different dimensions, these are the four versions of the Joker the has appeared in the media since he was established as a dark character.

-----Joker versions info: you may skip to the next series of lines ------------------------------------------------------------------

For the first two times the joker made an appearance in the Batman comics back in the 1940's, he was a cruel and calculating evil clown like criminal, but after that the publishers decided to make the batman comics aimed at more broad audiences, his character was tuned down to a pathetic trickster theif, sort of a comic relief for Batman and Robin between more seriuos threats.
This version of the Joker appeared in some old batman cartoons as well as in a campy 1960's Batman TV show, I didn't feature those versions in this pic because I deem them disrespectfull towards the character.
In the 1970's under the request of Bob Kane, Batman's creator and several others, the Darker tones were returned to the comics and the Joker became far more then a nuisence, he returned slowly to his roots, killing people in elaborate schemes all dipped in twisted humor, many times his actions did no sense to anyone but himself.

The media however still took him for a foolish tirckster though, only in the 1980's , influanced by successfull comic books coming out at the time "Batman: The dark knight returns" and "Batman:The killing Joke"(Which is used for refrence by every Joker actor since it's publishment), it was decided to make a Batman movie with the Joker as an evil insane gangster who fell into a pot of chemicals, bleaching his skin and sanity.
This Joker appers in the pic, he is the extream left Joker, carrying his famous long barreled pistol which he used to bring down the batwing( or maybe it is bat-plane), he appeared in the film "Batman" in 1989, directed by Tim Burton and played by Oscar wining actor Jack Nicholson who gave the character a childish and yet cruel tone.
This Joker managed to take over the entire mob in Gotham in days, and killing dozens of people by spiking the food supply with Joker venom, a poison which kills while making the victim laugh without control and leaves the corpse with a twisted smile on the face.
He almost spread a gas version of the poison through the entire town but this time Batman stopped him.

After the success of the movie, two people named paul Dinni and Bruce Timm came to warner bros with a suggestion to make a new Batman animated show, this time a dark tonned one, the studio was convinced and so "Batman:The animated series" came to life in 1992 with a Joker of its own, this Joker was voiced by Mark Hamill of star wars fame (Luke Skywalker) who gave him the best Joker laugh of them all.
this is the first Joker I ever met, so naturally I consider him as the ultimate Joker by whome I measure all the other versions, this version went changes in looks during the 12 years it appeared on the TV on"Batman:The animated series" and later it would expand to the DC animated universe in which the joker would be redone extreamly for "The new adventures of Batman" he would also appear in a superman/batman crossover, The film "Batman:beyond return of the joker" where his look would be altered again by the animators to be more similar to the older version, he also makes a few guest appearances in "Static shock" and "The justice league". This Joker is my favourite version, he oftenly makes notions of comical cartoon characters, but he is no less of a deadly psycho as the rest of his versions, and no less of a genius, he managed to deduce all by himself the identity of the phantasm, a masked killer who came to town killing the Joker's pre-accident crime coleagues.
He even managed to plant his own personality, memories and genes into a chip and plant it into Robin, causing him to transform into the Joker 40 years after the original Joker's death and fight the new Batman.
He would also do plenty crimes only he deemes twistedly logical such as throwing a chemical into the Gotham river that makes all the fish smile like him and then claiming copyrights.
This Joker is also the first version to be seen with his madly loving girlfriend Harley Quinn(Even before the comics!).

In 2004 when the Batman live action reboot "Batman begins" was in the making it was decided that Batman's animated version will undergo a reboot as well and so came to "The Batman", all the characters went through complete rennovation and the Joker was altered into a very interesting version, voiced by Kevin michael Richardson, you can see him on the bottom right, the one with the red eyes, this Joker was very acrobatic and shown great physical skill, his very body language was monkey like and for the first few episodes he wore a staight jacket instead of his traditional purple suite, he also seemes to be very unfond of wearing shoes, only using trick shoes once in order to brake into an office building.
This Joker is still quite smart and he did many bad things such as poisoning a police detective, making him turn into a shapshifting monster called "clayface" and trying to switch roles between himself and Batman(He even wore a bat-cape and suite, and gave batman a special joker venom shot aimed to make him unable to stop laughing and insane).

The last version is known to most of you, this is the rebooted live action version of the Joker apppering on this summer's movie "The Dark Knight" and played by the late Heath Ledger, unlike the other versions, this Joker was aimed to be less larger then life and more like how a real Joker in our world would be like, he is a psychopathic and sadistic anarchist with smile shaped scars across his cheeks who constanly wears makeup, making him look like a deformed clown and while he still has twisted humor, he doesn't use any tricks.
This Joker is a true evil mastermind whose aim is to break every rule boundry made by society for the mere sake of braking them, he is as he describes himself an "Agent of Chaos", he seemes to a be a mazochist too, enjoying from taking puches by Batman and the cops.
This Joker first hates Batman but by the end of the movie he assures Batman that he has no wish of seeing him dead since he is simply "Too much fun".
He also manages to gain a lot of achivements, Killing the comissioner of police and a court judge, and Driving District attorney Harvy dent into becoming the criminal "Two-face". one of the most scary parts about him, is when you realise how much he seeks nothing but to see society lose its mind and fall to anarchy, after he recieves 50 million dollars from the mob in thanks for disposing from a certain witness, he says all he needs to buy is gasoline, explosives and knives, and that fortunatly they are cheap, then setting the whole giant pile of cash on fire.

-------------Joker versions info: ends here------------------------

I think I even managed to surprise myself with the quality of this work especially with ledger's Joker, the original pic contained also Batgirl and Robin but I concluded that I am not too fond of the way they came out so I wiped them off, I also considered wiping Harley off but I just like her too much, look how both confused and happy she looks at the sight of not one but four versions of her "Puddin'".
I would like to hear advanced critique on this one!
