Finally got around to watching this movie, I really enjoy a good origin story of which this was not! The maniacal clown that I grew up with reading the comics Was this, he was originally the Red Hood: a criminal who, during his final heist, vanishes after leaping into a vat of chemicals to escape Batman. His resulting disfigurement led him to adopt the name "Joker", from the playing card figure he came to resemble.
He was not a young Jack Napier who killed Bruce Wayne's parents in the Tim Burton travesty. He didn't start a clown movement and start a riot resulting in Wayne's parents death. Let's do a little time line figuring out too. If Arthur was lets say 30 in this movie and Bruce was lets say 10, when the time came for the two to meet as The Joker and Batman the would have been 50 and 30.
Enough with destroying characters origins!
