The Joker appeared in 1940 and was created by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson. There was a lot of discussion about this character.

Finger’s, Kane’s, and Robinson’s versions acknowledge that Finger produced an image of actor Conrad Veidt who played Gwynplaine, a man with a disfigured face and a perpetual grin in the 1928 film The Man Who Laughs. His look became an inspiration for the Joker’s appearance.
