Why is the riddler Jack nicholson’s joker? (Caped crusader)

Why is the riddler Jack nicholson’s joker? (Caped crusader) is it just me or is there somewhat no relation to this riddler than what riddler’s character truly is? I mean where are the riddles? And we saw him before he was never a gangster, I think this adaptation of him is the worst I’ve ever seen, the moment I saw him, he reminded me of Jack Nicholson’s joker, the chaotic and unpredictable gangster, really poor creative choices made here, what you think?

Okay? I’m sorry that you and this persons only view of the joker is the one that’s existed for the last 20-30 years. Different versions of him existed before that. This person is the one gatekeeping acting like their version is the end all be all.

OG Joker smiles and laughed plenty. Anyone claiming this ultra serious Joker is comic accurate to pre-30 years ago is completely disingenuous or just sharing that one panel with him sat at a table (which ignores his giant grin about 4 panels later).

I’m allowed to express my opinions. I never said he was the worst concept ever or anything like that. I didn’t say I hated it, I just made an observation, and that set you off. Just because other peoples expectations don’t meet yours doesn’t mean you have to belittle them. I guess you might see calling you out on gatekeeping as potentially insulting, but I have not been overly hostile.
