I didn't watch it, does Harley Quinn actually rape The Joker in the movie?
No, the prison guards do. Then the Joker gives up and stops being the Joker. Then Harley dumps him. Then a fellow inmate kills him. Then the inmate becomes Heath Ledger's Joker.
You make the persona sound like some sort of spiritual entity that jumps from host to host. ... which kind of weirdly works given how fucking varied he's been over the years. You're on to something.
Awesome concept idea and yet also boring as fuck for what is supposed to be the best "grounded" league or super heroes and villains out there.
I dislike super heroes and villains using the alias as a enigma, symbol thing. Bruce Wayne is what makes Batman and Frank Castle makes the punisher. It's the person that makes the hero/villain, not the costume.
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.
