Wait is that legit? **** a Joker origin story. He's a comic book interpretation of mythological trickster gods. His past doesn't matter. The only real time they ever delved into his backstory the writer explicitly said that this story wasn't necessarily canon because the Joker remembers nothing before becoming the Joker and he prefers his past to be "multiple choice".
That whole bit in The Dark Knight with the Joker telling multiple stories about how he got his scars was a canon-style representation of how he remembers his past. His past is whatever amuses him in the moment. But whatever he remembers in that moment is real to him in that moment. Or not. He doesn't care. All he cares about is what he is right the **** now, which is the Joker. The Joker is not a real person. I don't want an origin movie. Or at the very least, I don't want an origin movie that treats itself like an origin movie.
An origin movie that's a schizophrenic madhouse that's confusing to the audience could be ****ing fantastic, but I don't think the studio that brought us Man of Steel and Suicide Squad has that kind of movie in them.
