I thought that was one of the more grotesque things about the flashback sequence of Return of the Joker, really - the idea that converting Tim into Joker Junior took a long time.
But then, in a number of ways, I've always found the Hamill Joker to be the best of the bunch. He could be funnier, he could be nastier, he could be scarier, when he needed to be. But by and large, it was just a rather more well-rounded character than the nutjob murderer of the books. I have zero problems reconciling the BTAS Joker who stole the Lexwing during World's Finest and bombed Metropolis with the BTAS Joker who did what he did to Tim. I do, however, just see an increasing mess of contradictions when it comes to comics Joker.
