That's what it was supposed to be, a gritty disconnected story about what a more realistic take on a joker would be, don't think batman or super heroes was supposed to be in either one, not sure where that commenter is coming from.
There is Bruce Wayne in the first one. He is the rich guy the main character meets in the public toilets then go stalk at his house.
That’s Thomas Wayne, Bruce is the kid he’s playing with at the gate
But that’s not the point.
Batman is a presence. The Wayne’s as a story element, they are supposed to be moral & ethical pillars. Solid truth. Batman does not kill and preserves an ethical truth.
All while the joker is a shifting description… an unreliable narrator. not a pillar not anything solid or true. The villains can shift and don’t have to hold true to anything. The killing joke is all about the lie and shifting excuses…
The movie may suck but a shifty joker hasn’t traditionally been the reason.
Bruce and Thomas Wayne were in the movies yes, they are part of that universe but it is not a superhero batman film or in that universe which is what I had mentioned
