He seems glad that he could portray this dark character like it should have been portrayed and was actually successful in making audience uncomfortable with how dark Joker could be.

However, some audience members are finding the amount of dark crimes and intensity petrifying and are asking for a trigger warning for the ones buying the tickets. One of them tweeted, “I’ve just walked out of the Joker.
