Men will lose their minds, according to this Twitter user! It would definitely lead to classic male outrage.
The Joker should have been a woman. And she finally went insane because too many random dudes told her to smile, so now she perpetually smiles while terrorizing Gotham.

She becomes a sort of folk hero for the women of Gotham. She unleashes financial records for companies that don't compensate women properly. She blackmails cheaters and misogynists. She threatens the goddamn Patriarchy. It's terrifying and wonderful.

The Batman needs to stop her to restore the order of things, but on some level, he's conflicted. She's a villain. But she's right.

Her catchphrase would be "Well, ACTUALLY ..." and then she'd just trail off and laugh maniacally.

The joke here is on misogyny, by the way. But on a serious note, would you want to see a female version of Joker onscreen? Janhvi Kapoor is vouching for it. ¡°I would love to play a female character that¡¯s just as uninhibited as the Joker,¡± she was quoted as saying by Bollywood Humgama at the MAMI Movie Mela 2019.
She added that there should be more roles that portray the uninhibited side of women. And so, she would love see female versions of controversial characters like Kabir Singh and Joker, she said.

¡°Times are changing, but I still I think we need to have a little less sanitised role for women. The best such role I can think of, in the Indian context, is the one played by Nutan in Bandini,¡± she said.
¡°There should be more roles that portray the uninhibited side of the female - roles such as the female versions of Kabir Singh or the Joker,¡± she added.
