So this Joker is just a simple materialist who is willing to break the law to get expensive shit? What separates him from any other criminal?

Not Finger's Joker. Not O'Neil's Joker. Not Englehart's Joker. Not Moore's Joker. Not Morrison's Arkham Joker. Not Morrison's Bat Epic Joker. Not DCAU Joker. Not Burton's Joker. Not Nolan's Joker. etc. etc.

Jack Napier was a gangster.
Joker wasn't about getting money, he was about getting revenge and then fame and jealousy of Batman.

>A gangster Joker that likes to be visually flamboyant.
This truly does set him apart, since every other Joker was clearly a dirty Ledger-like anarchist.
>>90691598
But Nicholson's and Ledger's movies where they played the Joker also won Oscars. Joker is clearly Oscar bait.

>>90691806
He means that Leto is the first person to play Joker in a live action Batman film and NOT win in an Oscar since Cesar Romero

Gangsters can exist for all sorts of reasons, really all they need is a gang
But Joker is often portrayed as something of a mobster with the twist of being batshit insane, and a clown

Batman's Oscar was for Art/Set Decoration, not Nicholson's Joker.

>>90692024
Oh shit I stand corrected.
Nicholson was NOMINATED though and Ledger did win.

The joker doesn't kill people to have cool shit. He has cool shit to kill people with.

>>90694669
He has fronts...

Joker has been a gangster before, but the cool kind of 40s ganster, not the nigget kind.
