And many of you will recognize his rival, the Joker, with white skin and green hair. This is a comic book classic in which the Joker tries to force Batman and the police to become like him \u2013 to go crazy after \u201cone bad day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Superhero comics can be difficult to read (even for me) because often you need to know all the characters and their background already.
