[edit] History
Dr. Davis had lost his license in the past, but Jack Napier found him the only one to turn to when he had been hiding out in the past. Davis worked in a building with broken windows described by Jack as "being too low-rent even for rats", complete with one side table which held outdated surgical tools and a barber chair. The whole room was illuminated by a mere one dim lightbulb which hung over the barber chair. Jack did not like the disgusting enviroment, nor did he like a 'quack' like Davis but Jack knew that Davis was the best he could do. Davis had gotten bullets out of Jack in the past with both patient and doctor surving. So Jack turned to him for help after crawling to Davis with his face disfigured from the acid tank at Axis Chemicals. Instead of speaking to his patients, Davis often tried to busy himself with something else. After completing surgery on Jack's face, with a doubtful and insincere smile, Davis undid Jack's bandages and gasped. Angry, Jack demanded a mirror. A terrified Davis handed him a mirror. What Jack saw in his reflection was that his skin was bleached white, his hair turned green, his mouth and lips dyed red and his face pulled into a permanent smile. This was sufficent enough to send Jack to eternal insanity. Davis, fearing for his life, hastily explained that Napier's nerves had been completely severed and that the instruments he had to work with were not sufficient for such an operation. Davis tried to reassure him that proper reconstructive surgery would heal him, but backed up against his surgical table and covered his face, too afraid to look at Jack. Napier started to laugh maniacally, and marched out of Davis' office, slamming the door behind him, his screams of horrible laughter echoing through the building.
The current status of Dr. Davis remains uncertain. Though it is implied that Joker killed him, according to this quote:
- "As my plastic surgeon always said: If you gotta go, go with a smile."
[edit] Behind the scenes
- Dr Davis was only credited as "Joker's plastic surgeon" despite being refered to by name in the actual film.
