मुझे हमेशा से लगता था कि हीरो मूल रूप से बोरिंग होते हैं। खलनायक (विलेन) ज़्यादा दिलचस्प और अनोखे काम करने वाले होते हैं।
I always felt that heroes were essentially dull. Villains were more exotic and could do more interesting things.

भले ही 17 साल की उम्र में मेरा दायरा सीमित था, लेकिन बैटमैन से पहले भी मेरी एक ज़िंदगी थी।
Even though at 17 it was limited, I had a life before Batman.

तो, मैं एक ऐसे खलनायक के लिए नाम सोच रहा था जिसमें थोड़ा मज़ाक का सेंस हो। मेरे दिमाग में 'द जोकर' नाम आया, और जैसे ही मैंने यह सोचा, मेरा ध्यान ताश के पत्तों की तरफ चला गया, क्योंकि मेरे परिवार में ताश खेलने की पुरानी परंपरा थी; मेरा भाई ब्रिज (Bridge) खेल का चैंपियन खिलाड़ी था। घर में हमेशा ताश के पत्ते आसपास ही रहते थे।
So, Im thinking of a name for a villain that has a sense of humor. I thought of The Joker as a name, and as soon as I thought that, I associate it with the playing card, as my family had a tradition of champion playing; my brother was a contract champion bridge player. There were always cards around the house.

जब 1930 के दशक में कॉमिक्स आईं, तो काम करने के लिए पहले से ही कलाकारों की एक बड़ी फौज तैयार थी। और इसकी एक वजह यह थी कि कई क्षेत्रों में यहूदियों का आना प्रतिबंधित था। कॉलेज, विज्ञापन एजेंसियां, कई बड़े निगम—जो दरवाजे उनके लिए बंद थे, वही उन्हें खुले हुए दरवाजे की तरफ ले गए।
When comics came along in the 1930s there was a talent pool waiting. And one reason is so many areas were closed to Jews. Colleges, advertising agencies, many of the corporations - the doors that were closed led to the one that was open.

बैटमैन के पन्नों को देखना ऐसा है जैसे मैं अपनी जवानी के दिनों में वापस लौट गया हूँ। न्यूयॉर्क में मेरे पहले सात साल बैटमैन के खुद के शुरुआती सात साल थे। हालाँकि बैटमैन के साथ मेरा समय बहुत महत्वपूर्ण, रोमांचक और उल्लेखनीय था क्योंकि इस दौरान कई बेहतरीन किरदार सामने आए, लेकिन सच कहूँ तो यह तो मेरी ज़िंदगी की बस शुरुआत मात्र थी।
Looking at the Batman pages is like revisiting my youth. My first seven years in New York were the first seven years of Batman itself. While my time on Batman was important and exciting and notable considering the characters that came out of it, it was really just the start of my life.
