1. ↑ This issue establishes that a hurled Batarang is responsible for creating the Joker's scarred smile. This aspect of the Joker's origin has never been shown in any other resource, including flashbacks of the Batman's first encounter with the Joker.
2. ↑ This issue repudiates previous material which established the Joker using the identity of the Red Hood.
3. ↑ Although the flashback scenes from The Killing Joke are from the Joker's perspective and therefore unreliable, subsequent issues such as Batman: Shadow of the Bat #38 supports the notion that the Joker was once a failed comedien.
