Years later, a middle-aged Jack Napier was officially a capo who would join the gang in much bigger crimes, such as bank robbing.

He was given a special outfit and code-name - The Red Hood.

He was forced to wear a blurry red dome on his head with a matching cape, along with a fancy suit.

This was the night the gang leader wanted to collect experimental chemical waste to make bank robbing easier.

The leader's plan was to burn through the back of the banks and steal the money after the walls dissolve, making for an easier getaway before the authorities arrived.

It was supposed to burn to the touch, so the employees were told to be extra cautious.

Since 'The Red Hood' was known for his mostly positive reputation in the gang, he was put in charge as the leader took the night off with two of his prostitutes.

Just when they were about to hook up the equipment to the waste containers, the caped crusader, Batman and his sidekick, Robin the boy wonder interrupted as they crashed through the ceiling.

Before the gangsters could get out their guns, The Dark Knight thew a smoke pellet, filling the air with blinding smoke that made their foes cough.

Well, almost all their foes.

Jack was unaffected as the dome protected him from inhaling the smoke. However, it didn't help that he couldn't see where he was going before.

The crime-fighting duo had the other gangsters tied up to a post as police closed in.

Batman noticed The Red Hood trying to make an escape as he tried a batarang to knock the mysterious man unconscious.

Unfortunately for the caped crusader, the batarang penetrated the dome, making it crack.

Trying to save himself from getting glass in his eyes, futilely attempting to remove the dome, the figure falls over the ledge and into the toxic chemical waste.

Jack screamed upon impact as he felt a strong burning feeling against his flesh, the waste slowly burning his clothes away.

The others were horrified, believing that The Red Hood was dying.

Hours after surgery, Jack Napier survived the waste.

But, there were one or two side-effects: His jaw was disfigured into a sickening grin that made him constantly 'smile' - And he woke up in a fit of screaming from the agony he felt, which was oddly enough accompanied with a loud, uncontrollable, hysterical laugh.

Nobody was there in the hospital room as nurses rushed towards him when they hear his hysterical laughter.

"What's that ugly ass thing on my damned table?" He asked in an annoyed manner, laughing louder as 'the mask' was put on his face.

"That's a Jack-in-the-box, Mr. Napier." The nurse tensely answered as the laughter got progressively soft and quieter.

"Man, that's such a joker, isn't he?" Jack chuckled lightly.

Just then, he got an idea. "Nurse, when will I be able to get the Hell out of here?"

"You're supposed to be in here for the next few hours," The nurse responded with a forcefully lighter tone as to not let Napier she was offended by his wording. "Should be the same night!"

"Well that's just great, uh..." Jack read the nurse's name-tag. "Shirley~... You wanna come over to my place when this is all over?~"

The nurse declined, simply walking away.

Later that night, the gang leader was having the time of his life; hookers, Cocaine and money.

What could someone like him want more?

That's when his phone rings and a familiar voice was heard.

After the call ended, the leader went to his office as he sat in his chair, waiting for an 'old friend' to return.

There he stands - Jack Napier. The Red Hood.

But this time, Red Hood has a new outfit, along with a new face.

He now donned a purple suit and makeup; clown white face, a red smile and light blue around his eyes to make them really pop.

His hair and eyebrows were dyed green and he still would never stop smiling because of his deformed grin.

Jack now claims his new title: "The Joker" and after an exchange of words, he kills the leader to avenge his mother and face.

Now as The Joker, Jack does the most insane things like killing others in public, defacing portraits in art museums and dropping money on people whilst spraying his own Joker Venom in the air.

Alicia had killed herself by jumping out a window and The Joker fell to his death during a duel with Batman.
