Transcending his role incomics and conquering box office sales with impactful movies like The Dark Knight andJoker, the Joker has impacted society with his evil schemes and clever plans to bring chaosto Gotham City. Many authors paid attention to the criticism Joker usually bringsregarding society and his role within the movie, but no attention has been placed to hisvillain traits. This paper aims to explore the numerous versions the movies have had ofhim to compare them with the Dark Triad, a constellation of traits formed by three majortraits: narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism, in order to discern the trait that hasinspired more to build his character in movies. After studying all of his versions, theyhave been grouped according to this triad and it has been concluded that the Joker hasmostly been depicted as a Machiavellian villain, doing anything it takes to achieve itsgoal, either deceiving, betraying or killing people, even if that involves being a victim ofhis own plan.
