Of course, from time to time, we saw that both the story and the name of this character were handled in different ways. The Joker, whose face is cut off by his father in some stories and who falls into a cauldron filled with chemicals in some stories, was introduced as Arthur Fleck in the movie starring Joaquin Phoenix. Of course, it was also underlined that this story was a completely different Joker story. On the other hand, in the 1989 Batman comic, the Joker was portrayed as a gangster named Jack Napier.
