    As I remember, no one put into question that Joker was alive at the end of TKJ until Morrison came with his own interpretation years after the fact.

    ... so what exactly happened to the bodies of the "expired" Jokers? I can see some cult trying to put those bodies into a lazarus chamber, or extracting blood samples for DNA related experiments. Joker-ized mercenary soldiers in the future?

    No, it added nothing. But it wasn't the worst riff on Killing Joke. Some good thematic exploration.
    Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft

    Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

    The Joker formula alters DNA apparently. So no go in that regard

    I'm not sure anything Post Morrison and Court of Owls has added anything to the mythos. Anything meaningful, anyway.
