Resumo
The Joker is one of the most relevant villains in current fiction. Transcending his role in
comics and conquering box office sales with impactful movies like The Dark Knight and
Joker, the Joker has impacted society with his evil schemes and clever plans to bring chaos
to Gotham City. Many authors paid attention to the criticism Joker usually brings
regarding society and his role within the movie, but no attention has been placed to his
villain traits. This paper aims to explore the numerous versions the movies have had of
him to compare them with the Dark Triad, a constellation of traits formed by three major
traits: narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism, in order to discern the trait that has
inspired more to build his character in movies. After studying all of his versions, they
have been grouped according to this triad and it has been concluded that the Joker has
mostly been depicted as a Machiavellian villain, doing anything it takes to achieve its
goal, either deceiving, betraying or killing people, even if that involves being a victim of
his own plan.
