Is the Joker left-handed?












5















In the recently released trailer for Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix, we see Arthur Fleck from his pre-Joker Times scribbling some “jokes” in his book. During the scene (photo below), he’s writing with his left hand.



Arthur Fleck writing a note using his left hand in The Joker trailer



As far I remember, Phoenix isn’t a left handed (because I couldn’t find him on this list of left handed actors here), so that got me thinking.



Is the Joker actually left handed? Looking for evidences from comics, animated series or movies.

          There is at least one canon comic where he's "predominantly left handed." I have no idea whether or not this is contradicted elsewhere.



          From Dark Knight #3:

            TL;DR: It varies across the different media, universes and series. However, in some he is "predominantly left handed", others appears to be mostly right handed and others ambidextrous.



            In The Dark Knight Vol 2 issue 3 we see Batman state that the Joker is predominantly left handed which would mean he has some use of both hands.



            enter image description here



            However, in The Joker issue 2 we see him use both hands but mainly his right hand. It seems to be inconsistent and it is probably left down to the writer to decide which he uses. He could quite easily be ambidextrous.

            In The Dark Knight the Joker appears to be right handed, we see him show the card, drink and use a sub machine gun all with his right hand.



            enter image description here



            In Batman: The Killing Joke he appears to be right handed.



            enter image description here



            In Batman: The Animated Series he appear to be able to use both.
