It was already made "canon" for a while years ago in Batman Comics that the Joker isn't a single entity but three active men who all make up the different "types" like Gangster, Comedian, and Clown that all operate on their own and can't keep straight who did what.
It honestly works in that sense, simply because of how completely contradictory some portrayals are from each other over time depending on "what's popular" right now and how much new writers love to hard retcon literally everything about him.
So of course it got retconned later into "Joker just has Multiple Personality Disorder" which is somehow less grounded and makes less sense.
What a mess lol.
I mean, not even a decade prior they had him cut his own face off, then wear it as a mask for all of a single storyarc, and then just retconned that out entirely too.
Joker goes well beyond comic books natural issue with canon and consistency and is basically a new character with every new writer anyway.
