The Joker?

What do we *know* about his childhood life? From what *I* know, his narrative began as a thief, petty thug, or mobster. But how was he *born*? Henry Evans is a clear example of a villain of which it can be said he was "Born Bad" because his narrative was of his childhood.

Do we have any sort of similar narrative about the Joker's early developmental years?

This is why we must be careful not to go beyond any character's canon(s), be it Official Source(s) or *published* fan-made versions.

And FORGET ANY idea of a category like "good guys gone bad". Ain't gonna 'appen.
