I think the reason I liked the Heath Ledger joker so much besides the performance itself was that they deliberately screwed around creating an unreliable origin story. The fact that he tells multiple contradictory stories is the best part.https://batman.fandom.com/wiki/The_Joker_(Heath_Ledger) …

The 180° mad scramble from hype to caution by the pop-puritans (à la Dave Chappelle) tells me it's either very insightful,has unapologetically frank discourse,is simply intellectually honest(or all the above), & likely very effectively prosecutes some sacrosanct false narratives)

Just saw the new Joker, and "origin indeterminacy" plays a major role. I recommend watching it, not just reading the hand-wringing takes from journos.

He's a trickster archetype, albeit darker than usual. An origin story lessens him, as one would Coyote, or Bugs Bunny.

ok except now I really want to read a good trickster origin story...
