Whether this is true or not, let's find out!
Dominic Joker is, of course, a stage name. The pseudonym appeared back in 1990. Then the young guy participated in the boy band “2+2”. This was the guy’s very first and serious project. Dominic Joker became the main author and composer of many songs.
The artist's real name is Breslavsky Alexander Alexandrovich. He was born in Odessa (Ukraine) on July 19, 1980. While still a schoolboy, Alexander was interested in music, learned to play musical instruments and wrote poetry.
Fame came to Dominic Joker in 2004. Dominic became a participant in “Star Factory” in season 4. Along with improvements in career growth, the celebrity’s personal life improved. In 2006, the guy got married. The first wife of Dominic Joker was the beautiful Albina.
The ceremony was held according to all traditions
At the same time, traditions were respected. Until the most important day, Dominic did not want to see the girl in a wedding dress. For this reason, Katya prepared for the celebration in a hotel, and not in their shared apartment. At approximately five o'clock the couple arrived at the Lastochka restaurant, where the wedding ceremony was scheduled. A symbolic ceremony was held for all those invited right in this place, where vows of fidelity and love were taken, and the couple exchanged wedding rings. The jewelry of the bride and groom turned out to be the same, made of white gold, only in different sizes.
Dominic Joker's Two Families
Today, Dominic Joker is a successful composer, producer and singer. He, like many performers, became known to the public thanks to his participation in the legendary “Star Factory”. But he managed to achieve success not only in his career, but also in his personal life. He is a happy father and family man. But not so long ago it became known that the singer was divorcing his wife.
Many people think that Dominic Joker is the real name of the artist. Only in reality it is a stage name. It appeared back in 1990. Then the artist was young and participated in the popular boy band “2+2”.
This was the artist's first serious musical project. He is the main author of many of the group's compositions. In fact, Dominic's name is Alexander Breslavsky. He was born and raised in the beautiful Ukrainian city of Odessa on July 19, 1980. He became interested in music during his school years; even then he learned to play various musical instruments and even wrote poetry.
Dominic Joker's wife is a beautiful woman who boasts not only beauty, but also intelligence. During the marriage, she gave birth to her beloved man two wonderful children. She is a stickler for traditions, so after marriage she took her husband’s real name. Therefore, at the moment she is Albina Breslavskaya.
The couple's children are the same age. The woman gave birth to her first baby in 2007, and named him with the unusual name Martin. And already in 2008, a second boy was born, who was given an equally interesting name - Marcus. On Albina and Dominic’s social networks you can find many photos with children.
Dominic Joker prefers not to disclose details of his everyday life and personal life. But it’s difficult to hide something when you are a public figure.
The marriage of the spouses as a whole lasts about seven years. But the seemingly happy and almost perfect family broke up in 2013. The reason was not fully known, but many are inclined to believe that the couple divorced because of the man’s infidelity.
But after some time, Albina and Dominic gave a joint interview in which they explained that the marriage had long been over. They lived together solely because of the children. At the same time , both assured that the performer’s new chosen one had nothing to do with the separation . Dominic Joker said that he started a new relationship after the divorce and after the relationship finally ended.
The singer’s new lover was Ekaterina Kokorina. The young people met at one of the television competitions, “Battle of the Choirs.” Ekaterina was one of the project participants. The young performer almost immediately attracted the attention of the musician. In addition, in the process he became the mentor of the Altai choir, which means he became closer to the girl. But initially they were connected exclusively by business relations.
The relationship began to develop after both musicians went on a casual date. But for Dominic it was not so accidental, because he set it up himself. Dominic Joker organized everything himself.
He invited his charges to a restaurant, but the meeting was scheduled for them much later than for Catherine. In the process, Dominic and Ekaterina started talking, they were so drawn into the conversation that they even forgot about the imminent arrival of the other guys.
After the show ended, the girl was forced to leave for her hometown - Barnaul. But after a while, Dominic invited her to visit him in Moscow. He decided not to wait too long and after a short period of time he confessed his love to the girl , and also invited her to move into his house. It is from that very day that they are always together and inseparable.
They also work together, record songs and shoot videos. And joint photos on social networks confirm that they are happy together.
Some difficulties arose in the man's former family after he left. Albina admitted in an interview that she suffered the breakup very easily. But the children could not come to terms with this news. The kids were worried about this, which negatively affected their mental state. The situation was aggravated by rare meetings with his father. On one of their birthdays, the boys drew a picture that did not depict their father.
Now Dominic has established a relationship with his first wife Albina. Children from their first marriage live either with their father or with their mother. Albina successfully married again.
By the way, the musician’s current chosen one became friends with both the children of Dominic Joker and his ex-wife . The singer admitted that the boys live in two houses and he sees that they like it. He also believes that they created a cozy and comfortable atmosphere for Marcus and Martin, which means everything should be like that!
Everything was luxuriously decorated
Katya arrived at the ceremony in a long dress of a delicate milky shade. The room was decorated in similar colors. It is worth noting that the decor of the establishment was thought out by the spouses to the smallest detail. Dominic said that they were assisted in the design by employees of the wedding agency WE Production. Together with the decorator of this company, they thought through the style of the entire holiday. As a result, the establishment was decorated in sand and powder tones.

Around seven in the evening the rest of the guests began to arrive. The couple invited many stars: Igor Krutoy, Igor Gulyaev, Olga Buzova, Stas Kostyushkin, the Degrees group, Zara and many others. Of course, there were many congratulations, including musical ones, along with shouts of “Bitter!” and toast.
The menu was quite varied. There were a lot of treats on the table: various salads with arugula, shrimp and warm liver, risotto and veal fillet, sea bass. The festive meal ended with the serving of a three-tier cake.
An ordinary childhood of an Odessa guy
Alexander Breslavsky is the real name of the future artist, who was born in the early 70s on the Black Sea coast in the city of Odessa.
The boy’s parents are native Odessa residents, but his mother is Polish by nationality, and his father is Spanish with Jewish roots. Dominic Joker in his youth
At school, Dominic did fairly well, but his behavior in class was not always good. An active and relaxed teenager, he took part in many events and was a member of the school team of the Cheerful and Resourceful Club. Alexander believed that teachers were more loyal to talented students.
After receiving his matriculation certificate, the guy entered the Odessa Naval School. After studying there, he realized that it was a wrong choice and entered the conservatory. Alexander was unable to finish it due to numerous absenteeisms.
The couple felt like spouses for a long time
It is worth noting that for the sake of Kokorina, Dominic at one time left his ex-wife. The lovers lived together for about five years before they decided to get married. On the eve of the wedding, they decided to have a romantic photo shoot and shared the photo with some media. According to Joker and Katya, they have long felt like spouses. At the wedding there was also a presentation of the new song “Infinity”, which sounded very romantic.

Borscht and home comfort
Today, Dominic openly admits that he and his first wife Albina turned out to be too different people. Immediately after meeting, the singer was captivated by the bright appearance of his chosen one and did not think at all about whether they had common interests. The Joker himself (Alexander Breslavsky) was fond of music from early childhood. This area literally became everything for him - work, outlet, hobby. But Albina was never interested in music. The girl was a landscape designer by training, but did not strive to build a successful career.
After marriage, Breslavskaya happily settled down at home and began to focus exclusively on housekeeping. In 2005 and 2008, Albina gave birth to two sons to her star husband. The couple also planned a third child - daughter Eva. When Dominic came home, he received everything that a demanding husband could dream of: a hot dinner of several courses, ideal cleanliness in the house, care and affection from his wife. But the singer noted that hot borscht every day is not enough for him. The young man wanted his wife to also be fulfilled in her career and be interested in what her husband was doing. But, unfortunately, Albina turned out to be completely indifferent to her lover’s work. This is one of the main reasons why Alexander eventually decided to end the relationship with her and paid attention to other women.
Psychopath
In Suicide Squad (2016), Jared Leto played the most repulsive and physiologically unpleasant of all Jokers. With tattoos, iron-on dentures, slicked-back green hair and a purple alligator coat over his naked body (costume designer Kate Hawley), he looks more like a drug lord than the head of Gotham City's underworld. Not everyone was convinced by this interpretation of the image, and the actor was even nominated for the Golden Raspberry.
"Suicide Squad"
First appearance
Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 in 1939 and, due to his growing popularity, received his own comic book series in April 1940. The first issue expanded the Batman mythology by introducing Catwoman and the Joker, who would become major components of Batman's world. The very first confrontation showed how dangerous the Joker can be when he installed a deadly toxin throughout the city.
In the original script, Kane and Finger killed the Joker in his debut issue. But editor Whitney Ellsworth saved the villain (the last panel showed that the villain survived). This was a huge success for the villain, without which he could simply disappear from the world of comics forever, and it is unknown how Batman would have changed without his main enemy.
They got married after the birth of their son and hid the birth of the child.
In 2017, the couple had a son, Michael. Moreover, at first Kokorin and Valitova hid this from a wide circle. But Alexander began to score a lot of goals, and celebrated this in a unique way. There was talk around about the birth of a child for the star couple, but Daria and Alexander hid everything. And at the same time news appeared that Kokorin and Vlaitova got married. But the wedding was very modest, in the circle of close friends. Only after a long time did it become known that Kokorin and Valitova really have a son and his name is Michael.

Influence on Comics and Pop Culture
Long before Heath Ledger's Joker, the character had a huge influence on pop culture for decades. He is often considered the first supervillain in comic books, and has also been a long-time enemy of Batman since his first appearance in 1940.
In 2015, renowned psychologist Dr. Travis Langley published The Joker: A Serious Study of the Clown King of Crime, the first scholarly work on the supervillain. The Joker is an iconic and important character in comics who has influenced the industry on numerous occasions and will continue to do so. His quotes, such as “It only takes one bad day for the most intelligent man in the world to go crazy,” have been used more than once in pop culture.
Appearance
The Joker is famous for many reasons, but his unique appearance is undeniable: his red lips, green hair and snow-white skin are all the result of falling into a vat of chemistry.
Also an integral part of the image is a crazy smile. He suffers from the so-called “rictus grin”, when a spasm in the facial muscles creates a constant grin from ear to ear.
In addition to his crazy appearance, the Joker usually wears a purple three-piece suit consisting of a long tuxedo and striped pants.
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.
In other media
As the arch-enemy of the Dark Knight, the Joker has appeared in almost every adaptation of the Dark Knight's adventures (more than 250 products). Many actors have portrayed the character on screen or voiced him, but only a few are remembered by fans as the “real” Joker.
The first on-screen Joker was Cesar Romero in the famous 1966 television series “Batman.” The Joker was next played by Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton's 1989 film. The most popular incarnation of the Joker is performed by Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight, 2008). And the recent performance in the film “Suicide Squad” by Jared Leto.
In addition, the Joker has appeared in a large number of feature-length cartoons, where he was voiced by actors such as Mark Hamill and Troy Baker. And, of course, the Joker could not ignore games based on DC comics: he appeared in Injustice: Gods Among Us, DC: Universe Online, the Batman Arkham series and many others.
Important Comics
In addition to the Killing Joke mentioned above, many important and interesting stories have been written about the Joker that tell a lot about the character.
If you want to read about the Joker, then you should pay attention to:
- "Death of the Family" and "Endgame": two New 52 stories featuring a returning Joker who knows the secrets of the Bat-family;
- "Batman. Under the Hood tells the story of a resurrected Jason Todd who returns to Gotham seeking revenge and killing the Joker;
- The Man Who Laughs, Year One of the Joker, chronicles the supervillain's first appearance in Gotham and the beginning of their confrontation with the Dark Knight.
- Joker is a graphic novel that, although set in an alternate universe, provides a deeper look into the psyche of the Joker.
Origin
The origin of the Joker has been a huge mystery for over 75 years, and the full and true story of his appearance has never been told. However, many authors tried to tell their version of the appearance of the Joker. Batman fans consider Alan Moore's version in the graphic novel The Killing Joke to be the most canonical version of the origin.
In the novel, we see flashbacks of the Joker, a failed comedian who turned to crime as a member of the Red Hoods gang in order to earn some money to help him support his pregnant wife. However, while trying to escape from Batman, he falls into a vat of chemicals and survives, but is seriously injured. This incident and the death of his wife drive him crazy, turning him into the Joker.
But the most interesting thing here is that even the Joker does not remember his origin story: “Sometimes I remember one thing, sometimes something completely different... if the past is so necessary, let it have options! a person should have a choice! HAHAHA!”
Star Factory-4
Dominic Joker has always dreamed of performing on the big stage. And soon such an opportunity presented itself to him. In 2004, a native of Odessa came to Moscow and took part in the casting for “Star Factory-4”. Members of the selection committee, true professionals in their field, highly appreciated Dominic's talent and creative potential. As a result, he was among the participants in the 4th season of the project.
During his stay in the “star” house, the guy made friends. He teamed up with Timati and Ratmir Shishkov. The guys created an r'n'b group called "Banda". At the end of the project, the quartet continued to perform in front of the public. Wherever they went on tour, they were greeted with a bang. Unfortunately, in 2007 the Banda group broke up. One of the band members died in a car accident. Nastya, Timati and Dominic decided to go on a free voyage.
Concept
The Joker is easy to recognize even if you haven't read the comics. His wide smile, his white face and often slicked back green hair all identify the Clown King of Crime. But how did he come to such a recognizable image in a time when there were no supervillains, much less supervillain clowns.
The concept for the character was based on a sketch of a joker card drawn by Jerry Robinson. However, it is believed that the main source of inspiration was the character Gwynplaine (Conrad Veidt) from the film “The Man Who Laughs” (1928). Much of this character's appearance was inspired by the Joker, especially his wide, evil smile.
Co-creator Bob Kane confirmed in a 1994 interview: “... (Joker) looks like Conrad Veidt, you know, the actor from The Man Who Laughs.” Finger had a book of pictures of Conrad and he showed it to me and said, “This is the Joker.”
