The Joker has no constraints.  He does what he wants to do, when he wants to and society be damned.  The Joker is who we wish we could be sans moral and familial expectations.

Batman and the Joker are in an eternal symbiotic relationship.  

Answer 6

Because he goes about it in a original way.

Answer 11

The Joker is an incredible villain. He's unique, original, and above all human. The reason that the Joker is such a good villain is because he's weak and insecure, yet at heart embodies the violence and cruelty that we all think even if it's on a subconscious level. The Joker's true identity is disputable, the Joker's powers are none, the Joker's motives do not exist. His goal isn't to kill Batman, as to murder Batman would be to easy, his goal is break the Bat, by forcing Bruce to kill him. Also he's a terrifying character because he murders with no real reasoning behind it. It's sporadic and volatile.  To murder for vengeance isn't scary, to murder for fun is.
