Default How many times did the Joker escape from Arkham?

When Gorden said in the trailer " At least he's back where he belongs" i just wonder how many times he had to say that. (like 20 times)

I mean seriously he gets in, and he waltz back out. Too to some other evil plot.
the Asylum is like a vacation house for him.

Theres no real count, but Nightwinng in Hush said "hundreth" time so while he was extractirating i wouldn't be surprised if this was close to the real number. I mean Batman has 70 years of history but canonically Batman has been Batman about over 10 years and is in his 30s.

He basically breaks out every other week, I think they really just expect it every once in a while. He's usually pretty creative about how he breaks out, doing something different every time to escape to keep the guards on their toes.

Crazy but effective, in "Death in the Family" the guard described his escape really no different than how a prisoner would escape a prison. He was somehow able to get access to the janitor's closet, and then mixed together out of common household chemicals his joker gas (they had no idea he could do that with just regular hosehold chemicals!). After he killed everyone with it he simply walked out the front door.

Arkham Asylum is like a party house to think on his next plot. That is funny.

I think of it as being more like Cheers for him; everyone knows his name and they probably all say "Joker!" when he comes back in, raising their glasses to him as he's carted to his cell.

For a guy that psychotic, sadly the answer to that question is rhetorical.

Joker can break out of Arkham Asylum anytime. He usually just stays there for the kicks, being with other villains and crazy people. Joker actually enjoys staying in Arkham, it's like a vacation for him.

In the comic "Joker" by Brian Azzarello, he doesn't escape, he's actually released from Arkham, its a great comic if you haven't read it.

Indeed, the comic hints that Batman & Gordon may have released Joker to have Joker kill the smaller thugs (remember, he doesn't kill any civillians until the very end of the comic) and gaining hold on the Gotham Territory to pile up the thugs so that Gordon & Batman can more easily capture them up since otherwise these thugs would be all scattered up in their small territorys.

Well the graphical novel doesn't have page numbers so i'll explain it with the events:

1) When Joker leaves Arkham he looks back, you see a little gargoyle statue on the middle, but then a lightning strikes and the gargoyle is gone meaning it was Batman all along, and Joker is giving him the finger.

2) After Joker kills "Tommy Bang Bang" he leaves the room and starts talking saying: Not enough for you, huh? You need me for more of your dirty work? I admit, i aimed low.

So yeah, he definatly (for me) is talking to Batman, and is apparently killing crooks because Batman himself can't find them, ofcourse Joker might not on the 2nd part now that Batman is spying on him, i see no hints on that, but this novel shows all the criminals are ver suspicious and afraid of Batman's presence.

Well remember this is an elseworld (its own story, not officially cannon or anything) so the idea of Batman being morally okay with this is quite an interesting take and very dirty to be honest.

I didn't notice the Batman shadow in Arkham until someone pointed it at, this book has alot of subtle hints and i mean, some of the jokes were hard to realize by Joker. Such as the rabbit one but i finally got what it was.

What the hell is this dude? There are kids in this website! Be careful with what you say That was strong!


Well, The Joker, me, I always will brake out of Arkham, until DC wants to kill me. they should throw me from the Prewitt building again. I Loved that scene! They should have let The Joker fall completely and make him crash down with onhe of the police cars that were down there. That building fall scene was a waist of time, cause the laugh was the Perfect and last touch for a Great death for The Joker. But Batman had to caught him! Uhhhhhhhh. I loved that scene until Batman catches The Joker!
