OB & Burton's Joker paint themselves as these larger than life heroes, when neither are heroic. There's personality similarity and the choice that both use musical numbers to manipulate the audience 2 tear down their counterparts, 1 could argue Burton re-used 4 theme and/or plot device. They have diff motives, the films are about diff things, but they do have commonalities. | |

| Oct 22, 2019 at 17:08 | comment | added | Darth Locke | It could be a reference to the Joker though, because Tim Burton did direct two Batman films, with the first having Jack Nicholson portray the Joker. In some ways, he subverted the Joker too, because he wasn't just one thing, there's an element of a byronic hereo romantic there, despite that he basically celebrates nihilism. | |
