Prose on Reception section

Let's try to resolve this in a more civil manner. The prose has either read "generally positive but divisive" or simply "divisive". We could resolve this in a few ways:

"generally positive"
"generally positive but divisive"
"divisive"

Feel free to discuss here. Please also refrain from cussing or name-calling.

Thank you --WuTang94 (talk) 02:22, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've just reworded the opening sentence in "generally positive reception, but some aspects polarized critics and fans", reflecting what the rest of section says. I hope the meaning of that sentence is clear now.--Earthh (talk) 23:35, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can get behind that.--WuTang94 (talk) 01:28, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit on Jan 17: Seems like there's constant edit warring over this. Either side should provide some good reason here as to why it should be "positive", "mixed", or "negative":

Merge request

merge to Joker in other media. (non-admin closure) ^Queen of _Hearts 03:54, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redjedi23 has expressed concern about this article meeting the requirements of WP:NFILMCHAR. Jared Leto's Joker has only appeared in two films in a credited role (one being a director's cut), with an uncredited cameo in another one. However, I'd argue that there may be enough extensive coverage of this version of the character (and not just the actor or any related controversy), in a similar fashion to Lois Lane (DC Extended Universe), but will leave that up to users to review and decide.

In the event that this page is merged, I would put it into the "Joker" section of the target article or to the "DC Extended Universe" section of Joker in other media. WuTang94 (talk) 01:27, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Imo this character is not so relevant to deserve its own page. I would merge it into Characters of the DC Extended Universe, or into Joker in other media. Redjedi23 (talk) 21:18, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Joker (character). As I'd suggest to do with Joker in other media, which I don't see as meeting WP:GNG either. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:28, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. I think at this point the Joker in other media page is the best target; if it's not kept then the relevant details can be merged up from there. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 16:19, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
