    		Yes. In the 1989 movie, he was Jack Napier.

    		The first origin account, Detective Comics #168 (February 1951), revealed that the Joker had once been a criminal known as the Red Hood. In the story, he is a chemical engineer looking to steal from the company that employs him and adopts the persona of Red Hood. After committing the theft, which Batman thwarts, he falls into a vat of chemical waste. He emerges with bleached white skin, red lips, green hair and a permanent grin.

    		In the comics, Joker will occasionally use the pseudonym 'Joseph Kuhr' or 'Joe Kerr' (get it?) He has no name in the comics, and will likely remain that way. Naming him would only diminish his mystique.

    Strangely enough there are several people with the real name of 'Joseph Kuhr', including one of the writing staff on the Justice League cartoons.
