Society wasn't ready to be fully jonkerfied 
On a more serious note, as someone who was pretty "whatever" about the first one, and didn't even hear about the second one till all the "discourse" about it happened online, I've kinda been enjoying not taking any of the drama seriously and just making "gang weed" jokes at both people who liked it and people who hated it. I think this is the best way to enjoy the Joker as a media asset.
