I really didn’t like this origin story. I think I recall this being part of a possible storyline in some of the older comics, that the Joker much like Batman is a symbol or an idea more than one man. With that mind set, the movie is okay. But I also remember something about the original Joker being the most formidable of them all. Thus the idea that he could be killed by a follower whom wishes to take his place is just not something I enjoyed. I would have preferred to see a smarter, more power wielding, unstoppable person, as the joker I remember.
