This is the thing.

Joker was an excellent movie in all aspects. I really enjoyed it.

But it really had nothing to do with the Joker. That was just an interesting bit of a marketing twist to make it appeal to a broader audience.

The main character could pretty literally have been 'any mentally ill person at all' and the movie wouldnt have skipped a beat.

That was just the tagline to sucker people into seeing it.

Still a very good movie, but the 'Joker' element is eminently unimportant.
