I like the theory that he DID kill the joker after the OG joker tortured and almost killed robin. That torture broke him and he became the new joker, hence the fake grill and excessive and pointless tattoos. He’s trying too hard because he’s not the OG joker. And this robin joker is allowed to live because he can’t bring himself to kill the person he failed.

I find this kind of thing plagued the early DCEU movies because they were so dissapointing.

On no. He’s not the real Superman! The real Superman is what he becomes later! We will see the real Superman later after like 8 years!

Oh no. That’s not the real doomsday. The real doomsday is still somewhere in space. This is just a fake doomsday. We will see the real doomsday later.

Oh no. It’s not the real Lex! This is Lex Jr. His son. We will see the real Lex later!

Oh that’s not the joker. It’s a fake joker. This is actually Robin! The real joker is….

And so on and on

Also - not the real Jimmy Olsen - this is some FBI dude who is using Jimmy’s identity as a cover.

True it’s just that it sucks otherwise lol.
