The mystification is instant. WB makes a Joker movie to cash in on Batman. They get a cheap director and accidentally let him do his own vision. It makes a lot of money. Then they get lazy, decide to let Todd run amok with it, thinking it'll make money regardless. They cheap out on the usual corporate bureaucracy. The movie flops because Todd took it too far for general audiences.
But none of that actually happened, satanic WB executives are destroying western civilization by attacking Western Canon which somehow includes Ledger's Joker.
So many chuds LARPed that particular Joker during the "edgy quote signatures" phase. Ledger's Joker was rivaled only by Tyler Durden for a source of tryhard chud quoting.
They turned Joker into a got damned CUCK. He used to be badass, "wanna know how I got these scars?!" now he's all like "boohoo we live in a society, please fuck my wife Lady Gaga!"
Making Harley Quinn the abusive partner of the relationship was an unexpected move, though I hope it doesn't do some sort of reverberating invalidation of the previous versions of Harley with "both sides" euphoria.
I think I see what you mean. Edgelords for decades have been into "I may be a computer toucher with a lanyard but deep inside I'm T W I S T E D" self-identification.

[WB Execs]: It's so simple... We kill the Batman franchise! It's not about the money, it's about sending a message!
[Jonkler Fans]: JUST LIKE IN THE HECKIN' TREATERINOS!
taxi driver + king of comedy, more specifically. for what it's worth, phillips was always transparent about it being a tribute to scorsese. i prolly only remember this because i watched the two the night before i saw joker & it ended up being extremely jarring

I've been thinking about how all these freaks' favorites are Jekyll and Hyde movies, and Joker 2 is about that cult of Hyde in a lot of ways.

I’m a certified joker hater, honestly. Shit is just a vapid copy and paste of taxi driver with a different character skin
