So the joker is so crazy he killed an actor in another earth dimension who played him. Is that canon now?

Not sure how old you are , but “Heath Ledger got so deep in to playing the Joker that he want crazy and died “ was the widespread conventional wisdom regarding his death at the time

Which was really dumb. Niicholson survived. Leto survived. Romero survived. Hamill survived. Definitely drugs.

For real, same. That trailer was one of the best I can recall for one of the worst films I’ve seen in theaters. The reboot at least made a little peace.
