what if it's just another fake version of the Joker that will lead to another Joker-type? We won't get a failed comedian take? I wasn't able to find the info online but I thought Joker's real name was Joseph or did he not really have a name? I always liked the idea of a dark and "nasty" gangster transitioning into a crazy, joking clown. I don't feel like this Jeremiah is the true version either. Firstly, because he seems innocent, and will be driven by madness later on. I thought the way they introduced Jerome in season 1 was a good set-up and intro to the potential Joker of the series, but by season 2, his character kind of felt flat for some reason.
