It’s interesting how portrayals of the Joker have evolved
Jack Nicholson Joker was basically Smarter Trump
Heath Ledger Joker was nihilist philosopher
Jared Leto was (bright spot in horrible suicide squad movie) basic sadistic asshole.
Joaquim Phoenix is boring incel.

Characters written to fully explain motives seem kinda weak. Strong characters are defined by the ways they transcend their origin stories. Otherwise they seem a little bit like wind-up toys.
Interestingly wind-up-toy characters are more often heroes than villains.

Probably. The others seem written as just interesting character studies.

Mark Hamill Joker is the best. The only one who ever struck me as delightfully insane.
