Only in that one timeline unfortunatly.

A freind of mine actually came up with the CRAZIEST theory/possibility that made us all crap our pants when he explained it, the 'Darth Vader' Scenario.

What if The Joker is Thomas Wayne, secretly surviving the assasination attempt on him and his wife, and going completly insane as a result of the murder of his wife despite all his philanthropy.

I can't decide if that would be better or worse than "The Joker is Bruce Wayne, brought back in time and stuck in a time paradox that forces him to commit the Joker's crimes for the sake of preserving the time stream."

(Things get strange when you start consider how this would affect The Killing Joke or the Death in a Family/Under the Hood sequence of events.)
