What a Joker wiki page is

A Joker wiki page is a reference article about the DC Comics character the Joker. The largest versions are fan-maintained pages on Fandom wikis, mainly the DC Database. Official pages also exist on DC.com. Each page collects the same core material: first appearance, creators, story arcs, alternate versions, and a list of issues.

Publication history

The Joker debuted in Batman #1 in 1940. Most wiki pages list that issue, the cover date, and the credited creators. Creator credit is a known dispute. Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson all have claims. Pages note the dispute instead of picking one name.

Appearance lists

Long pages end with an issue index. The index lists title, issue number, and cover date. Some pages add writer and artist credits per issue.

Where the main pages live

  • DC Database (Fandom): the largest fan page, with issue-level lists.
  • DC.com: official character profiles with shorter text.
  • Wikipedia: a single article with sourcing notes and citations.

Accuracy notes

Fan wikis are open to edit. Facts change and errors stay until someone fixes them. Check the issue number and cover date against an index before you cite a page. The Grand Comics Database indexes issues by date and creator. Use it to confirm a claim.
