I was in the FBI

Joker reflects on his origin.

I was in the FBI.

Was I in comedy before crime? First off, I'll have you know I'm in both now. But no, I wasn't in comedy. Why should I have been? The chemicals made me look like a clown so I played the part. I needed a reason to smile. I wasn't into jokes any more than Two-Face was a double-agent or Freeze was a lollipop. If I'd come out blue with white hair would you have asked if I used to be a Smurf? Did Elastic Man sell rubber bands? Was Flash a speed demon? Did Cyborg do the robot? Maybe they did, but I doubt that's why they became the heroes they are. I'm not who I am because of what I was before. And I was never in stand-up!

But then again, maybe I was… my memory's a little funny. And I know a cracker about the journalist who asked too many questions. It'll kill ya!
