@Tfmonkey Fun fact: while you're talking about "The Joker" - I remembered a similar case with "Dirty Harry": the original Don Siegel movie was very right-wing by the 1970s standards. Dirty Harry himself was a representation of a right-wing hero who is politically incorrect, but he also fights a murderous monster... Anyway, later Clint Eastwood made a sequel where Harry is fighting racist cops as if to apologise.
