Because there have been SO many Jokers throughout history, I knew I wouldn't want to draw every single Joker ever. So I set up some basic rules:
1. No parody versions.
2. No weird experimental elseworld versions, unless they are really huge and mainstream such as The Dark Knight Returns, Brian Azzarello's Joker, or the 2019 Joker movie.
3. No smaller/less known versions that could just add confusion or make it too derivative.
So instead, I opted for the most significant Jokers. The ones trying to do their own take on the actual Joker, in his iconic costume (or an as close approximation of it as the material offers). This is also why I didn't give A Death in the Family Joker the mechanic costume he wears while beating Jason Todd, for instance.
And before any pedantic nitpicker points it out: The years I put on each one isn't for when the comic/game/show/movie came out, but when Joker appeared in it.
Feel free to ask me any questions or give me any feedback on this. I have been working on this one for a very long while, so I hope you enjoy it.
