Then to add some more, Joker shoots his daughter Barbara and made him watch the naked stills of her. Along way, he also elaborates his own story of a “Rough-Day” that turned him to this. Many years ago in Gotham City, an engineer left his job in a chemical company to pursue the career of a stand-up comedian, which failed badly in every step.
In a desperate attempt to support his pregnant wife, he joins two petty criminals in a robbery but learns of his wife’s sudden death in an accident at the last moment. This made him to give up on the plan but those two forced him to co-operate and made him wear a cylinder-like red mask to become the Red Hood.
Upon entering the chemical plant, the thugs were shot and he accidentally fell into a vat of chemicals when confronted the Batman. This, pretty much ruined his appearance and mixed with his "One Bad Day", he turned into the Joker.
