The Joker : Folie à Deux has been a historic failure, boasting the worst CinemaScore and the biggest second-weekend box-office drop for a comic-book movie in history.

Director and co-screenwriter Todd Phillips included a fictionalised version of the Goetz shooting in Joker ( 2019 ).

The Joker is the only villain without a backstory in the Emmy Award winning Batman: The Animated Series .

He didn’t even have a name until Tim Burton’s Batman ( 1989 ) identified him as Jack Napier , a name derived from “jackanapes” (or possibly a reference to star Jack Nicholson and Alan Napier ).

Others incited a social panic, describing Joker as an “incel-friendly,” “toxic, and “dangerous manifesto for radical and lonely white men” that might inspire copycat violence with its “irresponsible propaganda” SWAT vans were in attendance when Phillips and Phoenix walked the red carpet.
