The very first issue the Joker appeared in was during the golden age. Long before Batman became "goofy". In fact Joker's first appearance had him as a very dark character that murdered people.

It wasn't until the silver age that we got the campy Batman stuff, and that was decades later. It's also worth noting that the golden age isn't even connected to the current continuity, or even the continuity any of us on this forum could have grown up with (seeing as it was back in the 30's and 40's).

During that time Batman killed plenty of people. He also fought Nazis, as did Superman. None of that is canon to the characters anymore. In fact DC even went so far as to establish the golden age as a completely different universe during the silver age effectively making golden age Batman a completely different character than the one we know.
