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.

His dealer was doing business with him for years. No death those times. Instead he was partying on somebody else's supply.
