Dark Knight, Suicide Squad and Joker all omitted Joker's iconic Smilex/Joker Venom, high-voltage hand buzzer and nitroglycerin exploding cigar, from Batman comics. Their Jokers don't even use chemical weapons! Only Jack Nicholson's Joker used them. I would go with a composite Joker with both comic book and conventional weapons and include Harley Quinn and Leto's criminal tattoos and grill, only with realistic evil gangster clown and teardrop prison tattoos. The comic book and Nicholson frozen face grin, Glasgow/Chelsea Smile/Grin, Leto's grill and Phoenix' pseudobulbar effect laughter are a winning and creepy combination. After Dark Knight and Joker, the clown makeup is more plausible than the perma-clown look. Phoenix's Joker has the most realistic origin. I like Dark Knight /Phoenix Joker with Nicholson's arsenal and their combined MOs.

I want to see a sequel to the Joker movie (after it's success, they've actually made hints that they'd consider it. Imagine it taking place a few years down the road, Arthur has now fully accepted who he is, and he escapes the Asylum. Maybe even picks up his trade mark purple suit along the way. He then goes on another killing spree, but he is now the Joker for the entire movie and his killings are closer to how Joker kills in the comics. Even if they don't want to tie him to the DCEU and the Robert Pattinson movies, they make some reference towards the end of a man who is dressed as a bat. Arthur becomes obsessed with him and learns that Batman is in fact Bruce Wayne, which makes him even more obsessed. Then the credits role

There's another aspect of the Joker that the Dark Knight nailed. He doesn't actually want to kill Batman. He's obsessed with him. Without Batman, the Joker loses the will to live. In a sense, the Batman is the only thing the Joker has ever actually loved. His attempts on Batman's life isn't at all about killing him but simply in his mind making Batman better. His kidnap and who to save scenario of Harvey Dent and Rachel is simply taking two people that Batman cares for and taking the one the means the most to him off the table, thus in his mind bringing him closer to Batman.

First, the 2019 film version of the Joker had a backstory that was very ambiguous. You can't tell which was true and which was just in his head. All the events in the film could've just as easily been BS and he was locked away in the asylum the whole time. Second, movies are different from comic books. They are different visual mediums. A movie is never going to be an exact interpretation of a comic book. If you want something that's one hundred percent comic book accurate, read the comic instead.

Joaquin's Joker is a Joker that could actually happen. A person who could possibly exist who doesn't have any Mafia juice or what appears to be black magic in Heath's Joker. Joaquin's is a tragic Joker who was a product of Gotham's apathy. It's a good lesson about the harsh consequences of an overly apathetic self serving environment.

ok so you know the jokers backstory isn't a mystery right? thats just something people say because you cant understand that different writers do runs all the time and they have no requirement to write the same back story over time to the point now that its a running gag not that he has no backstory

In the Joker movie it shows a whole different Joker that just wanted to be a comedian but was rejected and beaten and makes everyone including Thomas Wayne look like an Asshole justifying Joker being a Psychopath.
And the Joker being revealed as Bruce Wayne's brother makes it even more sad.

Even after giving The Joker a standalone origin story movie, his mystery is still kept intact. Who's his father? Who knows. Whose his real mother? Who knows. Did anything in the movie actually happen? Who knows.
