Childhood and youth
Dominic, whose real name is Alexander Breslavsky, was born in July 1980. The boy grew up in Odessa, a port city that absorbed a mixture of cultures of different nationalities and peoples, which left an imprint on his worldview. And Alexander himself is a quarter Spanish by blood, half a Polish Jew - this mixture was the reason for the singer’s memorable appearance and his voice timbre, unusual for the Slavs. The celebrity has lived in Moscow since the early 2000s, but remembers his hometown with tenderness. The artist also speaks with great love about his family.
Dominic first appeared on stage at the age of seven. This happened by accident: there was a KVN production at the school, and due to a delay in the participants, the first person who came to hand was brought out to entertain the audience. The boy was not at a loss and began to tell jokes. But the audience laughed not at the jokes, but at the toilet paper that stuck to the shoe of the future star. The Kaveen girls used it to wipe off their makeup. But the embarrassment did not mar the impression of the performance. After this, as the performer admitted, he realized two things for himself: he really likes the stage, and participation in school productions softens the attitude of teachers towards educational mistakes.

Dominic Joker as a child with hair
After school, Alexander went to study at a nautical school and even went to sea. However, the young man quickly realized that naval romance was not for him, and changed his sailor uniform to study at the conservatory. He did not graduate from the educational institution.
Even during his school years, he teamed up with friends in musical groups playing in various styles, from rap to rock. The first serious project was the group “2+2”, where Dominic was both a performer and the author of most of the material. The singer even performed with the band members at the New Wave competition, where the musicians took 9th place. And in Jurmala, the Joker met Igor Krutoy.
Soon after returning to Odessa, the group broke up, and Dominic left for Moscow. At first, the singer was in a creative search. He wrote music for a solo album and appeared on the stage of capital clubs. Even then, the guy knew his future colleagues from the “Star Factory” - Timati, Dino MS 47, Nastya Kochetkova.
No less interesting alternative universe
There is a universe where Bruce dies, and his father tries to fight crime after the tragedy, thereby becoming a bat. And in turn, the mother, having never recovered from the loss, goes crazy, her mind and soul are so crippled that her alter ego in the form of the embodiment of hysterical laughter and chaos for the sake of chaos, takes precedence over everything holy that she had in herself. After which she transforms into the Joker.
In fact, it would be a very interesting interpretation of the famous battle between the cold and calculating mind and the unpredictable chaos and anarchy. This could explain a lot about their relationship, namely that they would never kill each other. Bats will not be allowed by his morality, and the Joker will not be allowed by his love for the bat character, because if he kills him, he will lose the meaning of his existence
"Star Factory"
Dominic announced himself to the general public in 2004, becoming a participant in the “Star Factory - 4” project. This show gave the young man many new opportunities, which he immediately took advantage of.
Having been nominated together with Timati after the 3rd week, Joker lost to him in points and dropped out of the project. But the producer brought the singer back, and a week later the duet “Mom, I Love You” premiered, which Dominic performed together with Nastya Kochetkova.
In his youth, Joker did not look at all like a pop singer: a well-fed young man (the musician weighs about 80 kg and is 172 cm tall) with a simple face did not seem like a future pop star, but his perseverance and musical abilities allowed him to break onto the big stage. Dominic teamed up with project participants Timati, Ratmir Shishkov and Nastya Kochetkova, forming the R'n'B band "Banda".

Dominic Joker in his youth
After graduating from “Factory” the guys began performing, the tour lasted a year and a half. At the same time, the group released an album called “New People”. It included the track “Heaven is Crying,” which became a real hit.
“Banda” quickly became popular, especially since the performers waged an “offensive on all fronts”, releasing 2 videos for songs from the new album into rotation.
The guys confidently walked towards success until a tragedy occurred in 2007: one of the group members, Ratmir Shishkov, died. The remaining participants, connected not only by work, but also by friendship, decided to close the project because they could not imagine its work without their deceased comrade.
Later, Dominic Joker returned to the project, which gave him all-Russian popularity. In 2011, he became a participant in the TV show “Star Factory. Return”, where the group “Roots”, Victoria Daineko, Irina Dubtsova, Natalya Podolskaya and others also appeared.
Clown at midnight
A deranged police officer named Joseph Muller, wearing a Batman costume, shot the Joker in the face, leaving him disabled. The clown underwent extensive plastic surgery and physical therapy, and reappeared, only with new scars running from the corners of his mouth high up his cheeks.
In intensive care at Arkham, the Joker developed a new, deadlier version of the Joker Venom and ordered Harley Quinn to use it to kill her former henchmen to inform everyone of his spiritual "rebirth". Before he was stopped by Batman, the Joker tried to kill Harley herself (her death was the final “climax” of his revival), but he failed.
Music
Dominic again took up his solo career. Many superstars of the Russian stage began to invite the talented composer to collaborate. He was the author of songs for the groups “Slivki”, “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”, performers Vlad Topalov, Lolita and others. For four years in a row, since 2004, Joker was nominated for the Song of the Year award. In 2008, he worked as a sound producer for the show “You are a Superstar,” where experienced but undeservedly forgotten stars of the 80s and 90s competed.
In 2009, the performer released his first solo album, “Real People,” which collected all the cream of the material accumulated over 10 years of experience in show business.
In the same year, he performed at Yuri Antonov’s creative evening at New Wave. Dominic performed the compositions “From What” and “Starry Summer” together with Nyusha and Makpal. Also performing at the concert were Valeria, Vladimir Presnyakov, Alexey Chumakov, Alexander Buinov and others.
Dominic Joker - "If You're With Me"
In 2012, the popularity of Dominic Joker rose to new heights: the piercing and bright soul ballad “If you are with me” conquered the Russian stage. The composition was put on ringtones, ordered on the radio live - the music world was literally in a fever with the new melody. For this song, Joker received the Golden Gramophone and won the Radio Takeoff 2012 nomination from the Top Hit Music Awards.
The singer did not stop there, experimenting with the form and content of the songs. In the song “Farewell,” the video for which was released in 2013, lovers of Russian poetry were surprised to find out that the performer set a poem by Maxim Gorky to music.
In the same year, the musician decided to record a track with the group “Slivki”. The joint work was called “Club Zone”.
In September, Dominic became a choir mentor in the Rossiya-1 musical project “Battle of the Choirs”. His players took 3rd place and attracted the attention of representatives of the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi. The choir met delegations of participants; between performances, the musicians shot an original video for the songs they performed, in which politicians and athletes were involved.
Dominic Joker and Mot - “You Don’t Love”
Soon, Dominic presented a new video, “I Breathe You” (sometimes this composition is called “I Breathe You”), which was timed to coincide with Valentine’s Day. In 2015, he released a new album, “Deja Vu,” and recorded the single “So One,” for which a video clip was shot.
2016 became the year of duets for Dominic. He recorded 2 tracks, adding female vocals to them: he sang the composition “You Know” together with Ekaterina Kokorina, the song “Where have you been” - with Lyubov Uspenskaya. On May 19, 2016, the artist gave his first big solo concert. The live performance took place at the RED club; the main theme of the show, like all of the musician’s work, was love.
In February 2021, Dominic became a guest of the popular talk show “Tonight”, dedicated to the “Star Factory” and further biographies of the participants in the sensational musical project. In addition to the Joker, other famous “manufacturers” Stas Piekha, Victoria Daineko, Prokhor Shalyapin, Yulianna Karaulova and others were guests of the program.

The singer’s success is proven by the ratings of his new hits. The video for the single “Chemistry Between Us” received 1 million views in a few months. In 2021, the Joker appeared on television several times. In winter, I attended the show “Stars under Hypnosis,” where, under hypnotic influence, I turned into a 5-year-old child. Later he became a guest of the “Anecdote Show” program. The singer's solo performances took place in various cities of Russia, from the Far East to Moscow.
During this period, Joker devoted a lot of time to promoting the artists of his label. This is rapper LIL' ARCHI and performer Katya Kokorina. According to the composer, he is interested in discovering new talents and participating in their career growth. For this purpose, the musician opened a school for gifted children, which has branches in different cities of Russia. Dominic announces the opening of new branches of the school on his Instagram page. His work and personal photos and video materials also appear there.
In 2021, the artist released new compositions “Infinity” with Katya Kokorina, “Abnormal” and “We Will Not Repeat It”.
Biography
During his long career, Dominic Joker managed to work with various Russian show business representatives. The musician spent about half of his creative biography in the shadows, working behind the scenes on songs for other artists, and in the mid-2000s he took a risky step: he came out from behind the backs of those for whom he created hits in order to declare his talent in full force.
Dominic Joker
In addition to music, Dominic is involved in many things: he launched his own clothing line, Dominick Joker, owns the recording studio JOB Recording, founded a children's art school and opened a karaoke club. In 2009, the performer received a medal from the Patrons of the Century charity foundation.
Personal life
Dominic has long been an exemplary family man and loving father. The Joker's first wife was Albina. After marriage, the girl changed her last name and became Albina Breslavskaya.

The couple have two sons, born in 2007 and 2008, Martin and Marcus. The performer spoke warmly about the children, talking about the sporting achievements of the eldest and the demanding character of the younger Breslavsky.
In 2014, information appeared in the press that Dominic left his wife and children for the sake of the young singer Ekaterina Kokorina, whom he met at the “Battle of the Choirs.” The musician’s wife calmly accepted his departure, telling reporters that there had been problems in the family for a long time and things were heading towards divorce.

Dominic Joker and his wife Ekaterina Kokorina
Dominic’s acquaintance with his new chosen one happened after the breakup with Albina. Initially, artists limited themselves to business communication only. The Joker appointed Katya responsible for the behavior of the choir members during the trip to Sochi. Only on a casual date did a spark flash between them.
In February 2021, Catherine and Dominic got married. They signed at the Moscow registry office, and the celebration was postponed until the end of the month. The celebration took place in the capital's elite restaurant “Lastochka”. Russian pop stars were invited to the wedding, including Olga Buzova, Stas Kostyushkin, Igor Gulyaev. Instead of the first dance, the newlyweds presented the guests with a joint song “Infinity”. The couple went on their honeymoon to China.
The Joker's sons had a hard time with the fact that their parents no longer lived together, and their father at one time stopped communicating with them, citing being busy. Now the relationship between the ex-spouses has improved. Albina now has a man, and the boys alternately live either in their father’s house or with their mother.
Notes
- There were rumors that the Joker's name was Jack Napier. This version was used in the 1989 movie and subsequent animated series, where the name was one of 100 aliases.
- Two canon sources suggest his name is Jack, and the name Joe has also been used multiple times.
- In Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #50, the Joker's name was almost revealed by his cousin Melvin Rapien, using part of his name (most likely the beginning) - \"Ja..\". However, when Melvin was about to mention the name in full, the Joker shut him up in time: "We don't use the old name, remember?" I'm now Cousin Joker."
- In Batman: Confidential #22-25, 29, 30, the Joker's fingerprints were taken, but they were just pure black blobs with no lines. \"Acid. A lot of acid,” said the Joker. He also has green nails on his hands.
- The Joker has one of the most extensive body counts of any human-level villain in DC (not counting those incidents where entire planets were destroyed).
- In the graphic novel Arkham Asylum (1989), written by Grant Morrison, it was suggested that the Joker's mental state was a previously unprecedented form of "supersanity", a form of ultrasensory perception. There are also suggestions that he has no true personality of his own, and that on any given day he could be either a harmless clown or a vicious killer, whichever would benefit him more.
- In the Marvel vs DC crossover, the Joker was shown to be immune to Red Skull's Dust of Death, as it is similar in composition to the Joker's Venom.
Dominic Joker now
In 2021, the artist expanded his discography. He released the solo track “My Secret”. The duets “I’m Flying Away” with Nodar Reviya, “Quarantine” with Katya Kokorina and Zvika Band, and “Don’t Love” with Mot from the Black Star label were also recorded.
The last track is a remake of a song by Ratmir Shishkov. The author of the original composition is Joker, it was written by him in 2004. But in 2020, the artist, together with Mot, decided to re-record it, making a dedication to a friend.
“We decided to record the track that Ratmir sang at his Friday concert, at his nomination, which I wrote for “Gang,” so that once again people would remember and smile. “Ratmir is the part without which this song cannot exist,” Joker announced the track on Instagram.
In 2021, Dominic became a participant in the show “Exactly”, which started on Channel One after a 5-year break. Such show business stars as Mitya Fomin, Maria Zaitseva, Anastasia Makeeva, Alexander Panayotov and others also took part in the filming. The jury was Leonid Yarmolnik, Maxim Averin and Maxim Galkin.
The rules of the show are simple - participants must transform into stars of the domestic and world stage and perform their hits. It is necessary to convey facial expressions, gestures, and manner of performance.
— Do you now communicate with the relatives of the deceased Ratmir Shishkov? With other members of the "Gang"?
— Of course, if we see Lyalya (Ratmir’s mother – editor’s note), we always have something to talk about. I love her and Stefka very much (Ratmir Shishkov’s daughter Stefania – editor’s note), who has already grown up. She's a real beauty.
We communicate with Timka less often, because fate brings us together less.
Nastya is now in another country, a week ago we corresponded with her. She is building her life path as a great director of Hollywood projects. And I hope everything works out for her.
Hash
Hush and Riddler recruited several other villains to destroy Batman. Part of their plan involved making Bruce believe that his childhood friend, Tommy Elliot, was one of the Joker's victims. This enraged Batman, but before he could kill the clown, Commissioner Gordon stopped Bruce, saying that he would not allow him to become a killer, thereby preventing the Joker from ruining Wayne's life.
In Soft Targets, the Joker begins the spree by killing Mayor Dickerson with a sniper rifle to force the people of Gotham City to stay indoors during the Christmas holidays. He then planted several bombs throughout the city. This forced security to react quickly to save large numbers of Christmas shoppers from death. But this was not enough for the Joker, and then he began a shootout at the Main Directorate for Crime Prevention, where he killed several detectives, but was shot by Maggie Sawyer. When a bomb exploded in an already evacuated toy store, the Joker was revealed to have survived and was watching TV in the hospital, laughing at the carnage he had caused.
Running for the Rescue
Over the next period, most of Earth's villains were exiled to the Hell Planet, where the Joker became the leader of one of the factions. This group did not actively participate in the events on the planet, but only tried to steal food and supplies from Lex Luthor's group in order to find a way to escape. The conflict ended in a one-on-one fight between Luthor and the Joker. Although Luthor had the advantage, the Joker eventually defeated Lex, but then the entire villain community was forced to unite as they were attacked by Parademons, servants of Darkseid. Ultimately, the villains were able to fight back and return back to Earth.
BiographyEdit
Martha Wayne was the wife of Dr. Thomas Wayne and the mother of Bruce Wayne. She was well known and respected in Gotham City, involved in charity work and raising her son.
Mrs. Wayne was involved in the city's civic affairs and organized lavish charity balls at Wayne Manor.
At birth, her maiden name was Kane. Martha was the sole heir of the Kane family (chemical corporation) and a member of one of the richest families in Gotham City. In her youth, Martha had a reputation as a notorious party girl, a socialite, and a frequent regular at the most prestigious country nightclubs. However, she also had a good social position and often used her family's wealth for charities.
Martha's closest friend in those days was a woman named Celia
Both were known for their beauty, which attracted the attention of a gangster named Denholm... She even dated him for a while, before Thomas Wayne
But soon the cunning Denholm switched to Celia and began to build a relationship with her.
She even dated him for a while, before Thomas Wayne. But soon the cunning Denholm switched to Celia and began to build a relationship with her.
As it turned out, not without purpose...
Together they carry out a kickback of money from the charity fund of one of Martha's orphanages. When the theft comes to light, Celia tries to cover up evidence of the crime by setting the building on fire to destroy the accounting papers, but Martha discovers her duplicity and betrayal. After which Celia runs to her father's house in Greece. Martha threatens to open the investigation if she ever decides to return to Gotham.
Shortly after Celia's departure, Martha met and fell in love with the famous physician and philanthropist Dr. Thomas Wayne. They married, and soon after the wedding, Martha gave birth to a son, Bruce.
When Bruce was eight years old, his parents took him to the Gotham movie theater to see the film “The Mark of Zorro.” While returning to the car through the alley, they encountered a lone bandit who was trying to steal Martha's pearl necklace, an anniversary gift from Thomas. As a result of Flash's intervention, an incident occurred during which an alternate reality was formed in which Bruce Wayne's parents did not die, but Bruce himself died. Heartbroken, Martha Wayne went mad and became the Joker. Thomas Wayne became Batman. Martha finds an assistant and names her Yo-Yo (an alternate version of Harley Quinn).
She kidnaps Judge Dent's twin children. She deceives Commissioner Gordon by dressing Dent's daughter as herself and passing her off as the Joker. After this she kills Gordon. Batman struggles to find his wife. When he finds her, he tells her that there is another version of the story where Bruce survived. Shocked, Martha decides to kill herself by jumping off a cliff.
Death of the family
The Joker has returned to Gotham City a year after he disappeared. He killed several police officers and reported this to Commissioner Gordon. In the following days, he reenacted some of his earliest crimes, such as publicly announcing his intention to poison the mayor. Moreover, each crime had some painful unexpected twist. In addition, he claimed to have revealed Batman's secret identity.
The Joker used Harley Quinn to distract Batman while the clown himself hunted down anyone with a connection to the Dark Knight. The Joker defeated and captured all of Bruce Wayne's friends: Batgirl, Alfred Pennyworth, Catwoman, Robin, Nightwing, Red Robin and Red Hood, and then took them to Arkham.
By the time Batman arrived, the Joker had set a trap for him, where the Dark Knight fought all his old enemies, but was captured by the clown. But all this was just the beginning. The Joker seated the entire Batfamily, who had bandaged faces, at a large table. He claimed that he amputated their faces, just as the Puppeteer had amputated his. He also explained why he ordered the Puppeteer to remove his face: the Joker simply wanted to show that underneath his smile there was another big smile. After that, he set fire to the room where the table stood and left.
Batman was able to free himself and free his friends. He was relieved to find that their faces were undamaged. He caught up with the fleeing Joker and began to taunt him, promising to tell him who the Joker was before taking his chemical bath. Not wanting to listen to him, Joker jumped off the cliff. At the moment he is considered dead.
Batman lied: he still had no idea who the Joker really was. But the clown also lied about exposing Batman. He had already seen his enemy without a mask, but he chose to look through him and not pay attention to his face, so as not to find out the Dark Knight’s secret.
ON THIS TOPIC
Little is known about Kokorina. She came to conquer Moscow from Barnaul
. Despite all the hardships of life in the capital, the 27-year-old blonde still managed to make it to the finals of the “Battle of the Choirs” show, where she represented the Altai Choir. It was there that the aspiring star met Dominic Joker, and later became a participant in the show “The Voice”.
Friends and relatives took the breakup of the family calmly, as if everything was going that way. Two sons are suffering from the incident
: nine-year-old Martin and six-year-old Marcus. They practically stopped seeing their father. Albina’s wife is also worried, but tries not to show that she is offended.
“My mother and our nanny are very helpful with the children now; sometimes my mother-in-law comes and the teacher comes to improve their English. The eldest son is engaged in figure skating, we are still thinking about where to send the youngest. Our dad rarely sees his children. Very busy
. Recently they went to play paintball. And November 4th was my birthday. We got together with friends at the Uryuk restaurant. The husband, of course, was not there. He's on tour. He called, congratulated, and promised to give a gift later. The children presented a drawing in which a woman holds two boys by the hands - the father is simply not there. And they wrote on the back: “Mommy, we love you!”, Starhit quotes Dominic Joker’s wife Albina.
Albina and Alexander Breslavsky (real name of Dominic Joker) got married in 2006. This marriage produced two children: Martin, who is now 10 years old, and Makrus, who is seven.
However, the couple could not save their family and have been living with other people for several years. Dominic met Ekaterina in 2013 during a casting for the television project “Battle of the Choirs,” where he was one of the mentors and Kokorina was a contestant. “I liked Katyusha right away. Both externally and as a creative person. I selected her to join my team. As a result, we sang perfectly – in the truest sense of the word. Our guys, the finalists of the project, were invited to perform at the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi. And it was there that I decided that if I missed Katya, I would regret it all my life. On our last day in Sochi, I invited her to a restaurant. Or rather, I invited all the guys, but asked them to come later. That's why Katya and I found ourselves alone. To her question “Where is everyone?” replied: “I don’t know. They'll probably do." We were so good together that Katya soon forgot that we were waiting for someone... Then she had to return to Barnaul. But then she came to see me in Moscow. First - for a visit, and then - for good. Since then we have not parted."
Ekaterina Kokorina and Dominic Joker met in 2013 and have not separated since then
In an interview with Telenedelya, Joker admitted that he and Albina did not have a tragic breakup. Something went wrong in the family long before meeting Catherine. He and his wife could not stay together, so they separated. “Naturally, I left the apartment to my wife and children. The musicians from my team rehearsed and lived in the Snegiri complex near Moscow. At one time I also hung out there. We toured a lot, wandered around cities and villages. When we returned to Moscow, I lived in the country. Divorce was a joint decision between Albina and me. Unfortunately, people disagree. This is sad, of course, but it means it’s necessary. We divorced not because of infidelity, not because someone else appeared. It’s just that life together logically ended. I didn’t rush into a new relationship; first of all, I threw myself into work. And then I met Katya..."
Martin and Marcus continue to feel their father's love
Now the singer’s ex-wife is happy with another person. They continue to raise their sons together and do everything so that the hype about the divorce does not affect their condition. “We must give credit to both Katya and Albina - they found a common language. Perhaps that’s why the guys calmly accepted Katyusha’s appearance. She was able to build great relationships with Martin and Marcus. The guys grow up knowing that they have two homes, and they like it. When the youngest, Marik, gets tired on a walk, he suggests: “Come to us.” For him there is no division between mom’s family and dad’s family. Apparently, Albina and Artem and Katya and I managed to create a good atmosphere, since the children live an easy and calm life. When I see the happy smiles of my sons, I am happy too: it means we did everything right,” says Dominic. Lyubov Novoselova / Photo: Instagram, Youtube screenshot
