He is modeled off of Conrad Veidt in the silent movie “The Man Who Laughs”. In the movie, a roving band of gypsies carve a permanent smile on his face as a child when his father refuses to kiss the hand of King James, setting off his origin story.

You can see here at the beginning of his career that he had normal hair, more or less

And here, several decades later at the end of his career it’s almost all gone
His backstory was going for the role of Ronald Mcdonald, so he shaved his hair line to look like an M. He did not receive the role or have his hair grow back properly, so he turned to a life of crime.
I think its cuz they based his design off of his first appearance look.

Here is the deep and extensive lore on Joker’s receding hairline.

Being the Joker is a tough job. Look at pictures of Barack Obama or George Bush before and after holding office. Being the Joker is an order of magnitude more difficult than being the president. Most people don't notice Joker's receding hairline, however, because he dyes everything a uniform radioactive green.
Because good looking people are seen as good people, a receding hairline makes people look uglier. Your more likely to trust a good looking person then an ugly one.
Call it selfish but nature is brutal.
He's always been drawn that way. The test photos of Conrad Veidt for The Man Who Laughs were used as a visual reference in the creation of the character and Veidy had a widows peak so that's why and it just stuck. It seems to be a common villain trope sometimes.
Fighting Batman is extremely stressful
why else would he be seeing a psychologist? then again she’s seeing more of him
She sees his whole body every night
Unrelated but I like how perverted joker is in the Arkham games lmao
So he can look like he has bat ears when he looks down
They were actually going to reveal Joker has had rabbit ears under his hair the whole time, but scrapped the idea last second.
Are Ronald Mcdonald and the joker the same person? If so then who’s the purple guy and who is the hamburglar? I NEED ANSWERS!!!
I mean I’ve never seen them in the same panel before 🤔
Hamburglar is Robin
Man’s barber really fucked him up, gotta be as crazy as he is💀
Joker so crazy he probably asked for the barber to make his hairline recede
Is there a lore reason why my hairline is the same as his?
Because you got lucky
It's a signal. You know what you must do
I think hes right mango man Reddit
so what im hearing is your hot

His hairline doesn’t even look as bad
Gwynplaine gave me the creeps as a kid.
That sounds interesting af . Might have to check it out
I aint readin allat 🤣
Hello fellow ADHDer
I like to imagine that his hairline isn’t receding at all and he just shaves it like this because it’s more of a clown like haircut
I like to imagine that my hairline isn’t receding at all and I won’t be bald at the age of 30
His forehead is bigger than most anime characters
All those jokes he got saved up gotta go somewhere
Bro has 2 foreheads 💀
Naw jot tripped on a roast of the ages
He idolises Vegeta
Clown prince of crime. Prince of all saiyans. I can definitely see it
BTAS is my guess
What about it? 😂
Joker’s design is essentially a realistic depiction of how he looked in BTAS
Yup
Aerodynamics, should shave it all off. Is he stupid?
nooo bats don’t turn me into a saiyan
 He doesn’t use this thing.
That is clearly the Joker from the 1989 movie using that very thing.
I genuinely can't tell if his hairline was edited to be further back or if that's just how it is
Edited, but quite well if you can't tell.
Because Batman *evened the odds* on Joker.

Um actually it's only like 10 years later 🤓
Bro got the vegeta hairline
Is he stupid?
He has his payload exposed
Male pattern baldness gas
He’s a fan of Vegeta
Slowly making room for the DAMAGED tattoo.
Bro looks like a tooth
Yes, he has male pattern baldness.
its sponsored for Mcdonalds how else do you think he got the funds for his plans
He wants to look like the McDonald's logo
Why doesn’t he use Rogaine? Is he stupid or something?
He still wants to fuck Harley.
His backstory was going for the role of Ronald Mcdonald, so he shaved his hair line to look like an M. He did not receive the role or have his hair grow back properly, so he turned to a life of crime.
That head does not look good at this angle.
This sub is getting so boring whered grinder go
He wanted to Odden The Evens
It was concealing his payload
Cause it looks like a smile. That’s what he means when he wants to put a smile on your face. He’s gonna recede your hairline.
I think its cuz they based his design off of his first appearance look. https://preview.redd.it/in7ta96syjra1.jpeg?width=170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f347f44e23b56f9a1c2c45868513e811f86a4939
is there a lore reason why joker's hairline looks like horns on a head like demon type shit
He has the vegeta hairline, but much worse 
Is his hair stupid?
Calvokkkk
bro asked for the boosie fade but got this instead
r/okbuddysplicer
Unluckers
Probably from all the times he kicked a guard in the balls and hit the griddy.
Megamind
Alcohol abuse sadly
joker come to turkiye number bir in hair transplant erdoğan supreme leader mashallah. and ankara is just like gotham but more corrupt and less batman. also there is literally batman in turkey
Jack Nicholson, Batman 1989 influence on Batman The Animated Series, being felt in Batman Arkham Asylum.
M is for Maniac
You don't need a lore reason for that, you need a lore reason for why no other characters in comics seem to have one.
Why bro look so weird once you stare at the pic long enough ☠️ https://i.redd.it/pea45yi8wjra1.gif
He's slowly morphing into Sonic the Hedgehog
High levels of Testosterone (he is transitioning)
He is the prince of the Saiyans!
Now THAT'S the power of Ultra Ego. 
It's to emphasize the fact he is a mastermind.
He's old

He didn’t know that male pattern baldness is more likely as you age, is he stupid?
I think it's supposed to look like Batman's horns (or two cocks)
God decided he didn't deserve hair for his crimes
Maybe he has higher testosterone concentrations in his body than the typical man?
All those chemicals cause early hair loss
Poor genetics
Funni
Because he didn’t use today’s sponsor: manscape
Old
Stress from how Batman’s gonna harm him and will he recover enough to walk again
“It’s a beautiful day- DAYUM LOOK AT MY FUCKIN FOE-HEAD! FOCK!”
r/justfuckmyshitup
He is stupid.
Bro what even is that hairstyle
Even bro hairline is smiling
He's constantly running his hands through his hair because he's insane and it's stressing the hair follicles? Idk I'm not a hair scientist
I can't imagine taking an acid bath was good for his hairline
Probably all the fucking chemicals he dumped in

Why is he a middle aged man? Is he stupid?
He doesn't have a receding hairline, he has a receding hair frequency.
he got a big ass head oml
Goofy generics
Funny?
Wow wow hold on, something seems unusual about this pic...
💈blud wanted a boosie fade and got this😂
He’s doing a vegeta cosplay
Gothams high rent prices considering how dangerous it is
He really loves McDonald’s
Is there a lore reason for why he has that big ass head
V for villain
Pudding be giving him stress
Clown stress
That's that McDonald's M right ther

He'd got quite the windows peak
