Joe Chill was the gunman responsible for the murder of Bruce Wayne's mother and father.
History
One fateful night, Joe Chill had just so happened to come across the wealthy Wayne family, after they had just seen The Mark of Zorro. Chill cornered them in an alley, threatening them at gunpoint and demanded that they hand their valuables over. A scuffle ensued and culminated with Chill shooting and killing Bruce Wayne's parents. Witnessing the whole ordeal, the 8-year old Bruce took it upon himself to wage personal war on crime as the masked vigilante, Batman.
Many years later, Chill had appeared in during Batman's Black Mercy-induced dream. Bruce and his mother, Martha Wayne had witnessed his father, Thomas Wayne fighting back against Chill. When Wonder Woman had managed to call out to Batman to remove the Black Mercy, the situation in his dream had sequence changed for the worse to Bruce's horror. In the last moments of the fantasy, Chill had finally managed to overpower Bruce's father, Thomas and had killed him.
The Joker had eventually managed to learn about Chill's role in the death of Bruce's parents and, by extension, the creation of Batman after torturing Tim Drake, into revealing this or at the very least, the Joker had deduced the circumstances behind Batman's creation after learning Batman's true identity from Drake. The Joker had later proceeded to mock this revelation, when revealing his torture to Batman in what was ultimately their final encounter, by calling it anti-climactic, due to it meaning Batman was "just a little kid in a playsuit crying for mommy and daddy" well inferring it was too pathetic to even laugh about it.
