The Jokercopter is a customized helicopter used by the Joker and his henchmen, adorned with his face on the front, much like the Jokermobile.
History[]
Earth-Two[]
Joker was fed up with Batman's superior gadgetry, which played a part in foiling his criminal plots, and so he built a series of Joker themed devices such as the Jokercopter (originally Jokergyro), which was his own-themed vehicle, similar to Batman's Batgyro. This vehicle was colored white to resemble Joker's skin and also featured a Joker face on the front. The Jokercopter was equipped with parachutes that could be released to slow down any vehicle while in a chase, and it was effective against the Batplane. However, the Jokercopter was soon decommissioned after Batman captured the Joker.[1]
Earth-One[]
The Joker used the theme vehicle during his plan to take over Guatemala. He used three Jokercopters to attack the country's militia, spraying Joker Venom on them. One of the vehicles was destroyed in the armed confrontation. This version of the vehicle was also equipped with a power-hose to repel enemies using water.[2]

Trivia[]
- The Jokercopter is represented faithfully in Tim Burton's first film, but the sculptural Joker face is removed from the front of the vehicle. Instead, the Joker "bullseye" logo bearing his face is painted on the sides of the helicopter, similar to the Joker Van in the movie.
