It's based on Joker from the comics, who was a dark character. And besides, it's a new take. Jack Nicolson's character went nuts because he fell into a pot of acid and scared his face. It was OK at the time but probably wouldn't be convincing now. By having this character fucked up at a young age and then live a sheltered life, it makes more sense as to why he turns so dark.
Strangely, a friend of mine who had some similar experiences, walked out of the movie. He told me it was terrible and dark and violent and not to go see it. Of course I wanted to see it anyway, and I'm glad I did. But still.
The movie's not for everyone for sure, but I enjoyed it. It's worth seeing.
