The only thing I'll take exception to is classifying Joker as "comedic". He is not. He is *very* grimdark no matter his motif. EXCEPT FOR MAYBE his Ceasar Romero portrayed version from the campy 60s Adam West Batman. Or parody venues such as Robot Chicken and HISHE.

However, overall, behind his twisted and psychotic sense of "comedy" and "jokes", he is seriously homicidal and nothing he does is truly meant to be laughed at. For example, his classic "Bang!-flag" gun also shoots real bullets and at least on one occasion the flag itself like a speargun after the initial jump-scare-relief of the flag.
