I've got no idea if Snyder's Joker will be any good or not, but even his early homicidal maniac years are a far cry from the way DC has handled the Joker in recent years. Even the early years had a certain degree of style to them. By comparison, recent years have seen him do such shit as scratching babies with rusty nails for the hell of it.

That's not to mention the ungodly stupid manner in which a lot of people act around the Joker, such as the story where a guy apparently didn't know that his tuna sandwich contained broken light bulbs. Or the way he has the uncanny ability to turn minor injuries into instant death, like killing somebody by making them trip on a banana peel.

Prejudging a story without knowing anything about it is a bit foolish, but DC has spent the last fifteen or so years telling terrible Joker stories. As a company, they haven't exactly inspired much in the way of confidence when it comes to this character.
