Not that it can't work but making up a new story entirely is just a really unnecessary heavy lift that brings down the percentages of it being well received.

Yeah, the 'disregarding the comics to put my own spin on it' approach is a very slippery slope.
Can be. But even different comics have disregarded one origin in favor of another or made up their own. That’s the beauty of a one off story. Superman year one, which I’m sure frank miller is probably writing very badly, is its own thing. Killing joke was its own thing and became lore even though that wasn’t the intent. Dark knight returns disregarded years of Batman and Superman being friends and teammates in order to make them enemies and make Superman a puppet of the government, which he wouldn’t be.
So I don’t see it as slippery; it’s par for the course. I just watched a Spider-Man movie where his spider sense is referred to as peter tingle, he built his suit on a stark jet, and other things I can’t say without spoiling lol. It’s less about being true to the beat by beat of the comic and being true to the character and core essence.

I might be alone in this, but the idea of an original story - especially with this character - is kind of intriguing.
It's a bit like we're getting a full length movie of "Ya wanna know how I got these scars?
"
The idea of The Joker being the hero, because it's told from his perspective is

I'll be
if we get a 'Usual Suspects' type reveal that everything we've seen is

Or it has been proven when you don't use the source material at all the comic readers are upset, they usually are the first to go to these movies and then they provide poor word of mouth. I just want the film to do well.Simpletons just wanna be spoon fed the same shyt over and over

I read most of the script, it's pretty good 
the movie isn't a "Gamers Rise Up!" film either despite what some cats have been saying. I believe their were 3 different endings but I like the one they went with.
Also I don't get the problem with not following the comics when Joker doesn't have a definite origin to begin with unlike Superman, Peter Parker, Batman etc.

This is the most DC thing they could do. Elseworld and Vertigo are the one thing DC always had over Marvel.
What’s bad about adapting what DC is good at.
If someone does Red Son.. I’ll be first in line.
