Fan Casting Jack Napier in Wolfgang Petersen's Batman vs. Superman

He is not a clown. He is a laughing surgeon of the soul. Resurrected by forces unknown, the Joker returns to Gotham not merely to kill Batman, but to annihilate him spiritually. His weapon is not a knife but a whispered revelation designed to prove that love, hope, and happiness are the universe's cruelest joke. Deploying exploding daisies, Joker-in-the-boxes, and a clown-faced hang glider, he orchestrates a final, operatic confrontation atop the Freedom Monument where he intends to take Batman's life after first destroying his will to live.
