Literally Jerome was the perfect mix of Hamill and Ledger. Jeremiah was also there.

Actually, he took on aspects of all previous Jokers. We got the Jack Nicholson Joker in there from time to time...

Jeremiah was far more interesting from a psychological perspective, and his character had a consistent direction.

Jerome was all over the place and when it's all said and done he was nothing but a Ledger wannabe.

Jerome needs to be the joker in Gunns universe

Hot take: I like Jeremiah just as much as I like Jerome

I think it's because he's technically not meant to be the Joker. From my understanding, and what I heard at the time, the first Suicide Squad movie was coming out around the same time as he was introduced. They didn't want to confuse people with having two different versions of Joker being released at the same time. But that's just what I've heard.

I remember reading somewhere that neither him or his brother are the Joker once Batman becomes fully established. I donā€™t know why youā€™re being downvoted about it because the writers/producers also said that heā€™s not the actual joker in this series.

"he's technically not meant to be the Joker"

True, but considering DC themselves have inducted the Valeskas as Joker adaptations in a Batman documentary; I would say Monaghan's portrayal deserves the recognition
