Jack Napier
The 1989 Batman movie with Michael Keaton as Batman. Directed by Tim Burton.
Alan Napier was born of prestigious stock. He was the cousin of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and a direct descendant of Charles Dickens. Though his acting career spanned six decades, his most visible part to American audiences was that of Alfred Pennyworth, Batman's butler in the 1960s television series. Napier was reluctant to take the part at first until a friend told him he would become the most famous butler in the world. In honor of Napier, Tim Burton named the Joker's alter ego Jack Napier, in the feature film Batman (1989).
The Joker's real name is Jack Napier in the cartoon and 1989 film and he first appeared in Batman #1 in 1940.In the comics, the Joker is never given a full name, although the name Jack is used in "Batman: Confidential" issues 7 to 12 (2007).
There doesn't appear to be any connection between Hugo E. Blick and Jack Nicholson, but they do look a lot alike. Apparently, it was just a case of really good casting - finding a young actor that had the same kind of manic/cheeky grin that Nicholson. This is from an interview he did a while back: "I was a writer working on a project at Pinewood. Legend has it that Nicholson saw me wondering the corridors. I do remember being called to meet Tim Burton where he had me say this weird line and grin."

If you're talking about the original Batman from the 1960s TV show, the actor was Cesar Romero. If you're talking about the Batman movie with Michael Keaton as Batman, the actor playing the Joker was Jack Nicholson. In conclusion, they decide The Joker needed a real name in the movies and cartoons so they came up with Jack Napier. However, in the comics, it is never revealed.
Jack Napier killed Bruce Wayne's (Batman's) parents when Bruce was 11. Then later he became the Joker when Jack fell into green poisonous acid then it made Jack white and crazy.
The Joker's real name is Jack Napier in some versions.

The Joker's real name is Jack Napier in the cartoon and 1989 film and he first appeared in Batman #1 in 1940.In the comics, the Joker is never given a full name, although the name Jack is used in "Batman: Confidential" issues 7 to 12 (2007).

The Joker (Jack Nicholson), also known as Jack Napier, in the 1989 batman movie. The line was first used in a flashback scene as Jack Napier shot both Bruce Wayne's (Michael Keaton) parents. It was later asked in Vicky Vale's (Kim Bassinger) apartment when The Joker shot Bruce Wayne, then using a silver plate to cover his heart from the bullet. When the Joker asked the above quote, this was a revelation to Bruce that it was the Joker who killed his parents. The quote was later used when Bruce, as Batman, confronted the Joker in the belltower of an old cathedral. So yes, it was the Joker in Tim Burton's Batman (1989) and whoever says otherwise needs to rewatch this movie!!!!
Many of the comics have given different circumstances as to the Jokers existence. The most popular one was that The Bat-Man created him by dropping him accidently into some sort of acid like "Batman" 1989 The one with Nicholson directed by Burton. The 1989 movie was also the first movie to give a name to the Joker (Jack Napier) which I think it best to leave him without one.
