The workaholic sigma grindset BS is totally problematic, and definitely hints at the wrong kind of Joker idolization, though personally, I like a good warning of bad choices type character. The Joker could've been that if the sequel didn't crap all over the very notion.

It's also why I (used to) like Rick from Rick and Morty. He's a terrible, miserable person, despite being capable of almost literally anything. He's a great warning that happiness doesn't come from things or power, but personal choices and outlook.
