Is Spider-Man becoming The Joker?

[Huntsman Spider]

I can just imagine Peter killing the joker and turning into the Spider Man who Laughs.... He will probably kill everyone with his insane plot armor and popularity power(nor to mention their sense of humor squared will make even Deadpool give up and kill himselfand Mephisto would be driven mad) Then he will fight Julia Carpenter for control over the web of something something in a limited series Death Spider.

If you think about it, Spider-Carnage in the 90s animated series finale could have been the precursor to The Batman Who Laughs, if you count Carnage as Marvel's closest equivalent to the Joker and Spider-Man as a stand-in for Batman. Both of them turned out to be the central villains of a Multiverse-spanning plot that included alternate-reality variants of themselves, even if Spider-Carnage's variants were heroes and The Batman Who Laughs' variants were villains, barring the "main" Batman. Then there's the fact that the Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse were brought together by an interdimensional patron, which is rather similar to the Spider-Men of the Multiverse coming together thanks to Madame Web, who in the animated series was an interdimensional guide and mentor to the "main" Spider-Man. Of course, the main difference was that The Batman Who Laughs ultimately wanted to remake the Multiverse in his own twisted image, whereas Spider-Carnage simply wanted to annihilate the Multiverse, "even if I have to do it one dimension at a time."

I don't remember Jameson standing on a roof waiting for Spider Man after lighting up the spider signal.

Yes. Now that you mention it, the plot of Metal and the "Spider Wars" does bear quite a few similarities. Only difference being that it was limited to Spider Man instead of other heroes pitching in to help him while Metal had the whole DC invested in the event. Snyder took the story to its logical conclusion by going bigger than before and making Bruce the focus of a cosmic multiverse crisis for the first time.

He actually tried that early on in Superior Spider-Man, the original run, when he was still mayor of New UYork. Then Superior disabled it with one of his Spider-Bots because it would alert criminals and villains to where Spider-Man was, which was an interesting and logical deconstruction of the Bat-Signal.

Uh-huh, for better or worse.
