I think you rushed to that conclusion. So far, it has been about also appreciating Romero, and most comments seem to agree about that. Only your comment polarizes. However, I have to agree that "Not that bad" was a poor choice of words (to quote another Joker).

I agree that Romero's Joker was incredibly faithful to the comic version of the time. In fact, the entire series was. Unlike the Riddler and the Penguin, the Joker evolved really fast to the point that he started having that duality thing with Batman.
