Where the Joker excels is pointing out horrifying issues within our society. This is, in fact, one of those situations. It isn't saying it's good that the CEO was murdered, rather pointing out that society at large doesn't care if it's poor people who die by the millions. One CEO and it's the most important thing happening. If this amount of effort and money went towards helping poor people then their issues would be solved, but instead we're wasting it talking about one rich bastard only.
My wife always has the good morning America shit on in the morning and they didn't say a damn thing today about the shooting. I wonder if the media billionaires have told their faces not to talk about this anymore.
I don't think Good Morning America is that kind of show... It has been over a decade since I have watched broadcast TV so maybe I'm wrong, but I always remember that show as being one of those super positive, bubbly, morning shows that are all human interest stories and fluff? They're not going to talk about dark shit like that unless it' s like... 9/11 level. And at that point, they'd just cut to breaking news.
No, the Joker doesn't. We used to mock "we live in a society" memes. This is that.
That was a different Joker
As the other comment says, different joker. Also, yeah a lot of its stupid and cringy. It all depends on the author and the context. As with all art though, it's a tool for the author to send a message. Almost every hero and villain is a vessel for the author to talk through. They are making art and have something to say. You aren't supposed to like the Joker, but he is supposed to carry a message still. That message is usually that our society is inhumane and flawed and treats people horribly.
