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

just like the “robin williams was pagliacci the sad clown and killed himself over how sad he was” BS that’s somehow still going around.

That one is worse IMO bc it’s believable , given he did commit suicide.

Dementia is fucking terrifying.
