This is what I'm thinking as well. Its a hard character, overall.

I thought Nolan did well to portray both the psychopathy as well as the effectiveness as a criminal and goal-oriented insanity.

One thing thats going to be difficult for avid fans is the removal of Batman considering that by and large he was the Joker's primary impetus and motivation.

I'm certainly interested in this film though, I think it'll be a good watch and either way it should get us away from DCEU's propensity for relentlessly and incessantly punching their way to nowhere.
