Why I think Arthur Fleck vs Jerome Valeska should happen on Death Battle?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I figured to directly pitch a particular DC fight. I know some may not like it because indirectly it would be another Joker episode. The twist is both these characters are proto Joker characters that gotten succeeded by the actual Joker within their stories. I also couldn't think of a more fitting match for either character than well each other.

I am talking about Arthur Fleck from Joker movie series taking on Jerome Valeska from Gotham show. You can bet they got some strikingly similarities making them virtually the same character. Both grew up with abuse from their own families including their moms. Well adoptive mother in Arthur's case. They later murdered their moms.

Both chosen a clown persona that inspired a lot of people in Gotham bringing chaos to the city. Jerome technically has two deaths on his show. His original death, he gotten fatally stabbed. Which ended up happening to Arthur by the actual Joker. Jerome set up his final death while sent his brother a surprise. It's hard to say if Jeremiah already planning his terrible things prior to getting gas or not.

Arthur disappointed the man who killed him to end up becoming The Joker. Jerome made sure chaos coming to Gotham through his brother. Whose essentially was the actual Joker on the show. Both also met Bruce Wayne as a kid prior to him becoming Batman. I also gotta mention both killed while on camera. A major difference is Jerome loved the attention he's getting from both sides of everything he's done.

Deep down Arthur realized he never wanted to be this symbol some people put onto him. Obviously both has their real names revealed while The Joker's true name for a long time wasn't revealed in comics. Their Joker personas were somewhat similar. Jerome was more of chaos itself while Joker stopped caring to do what's right.

Jerome was having fun doing bad things while Arthur felt more justified within his actions. Neither wore mostly purple clothes, one of Joker's notable traits. They got their own clown make up with Jerome healed from his face cut off by a follower of his. In a few ways both had inspired Joker stuff added to their characters.

Arthur was a failed comedian, which was pulled from Killing Joke. Gotham show with Jeremiah getting the iconic Joker laugh moment from the same story that got triggered by his brother Jerome. Jerome later gotten green hair prior to his final death. This would be a more realistic Joker fight. I don't think it would be closer or as crazy as Joker vs Sweet Tooth.

I do think in the right hands this could be quite entertaining to watch. People might not like all the laughing. These two men been through some rough stuff in their life. This would be a bit outside the box since who ever considered a concept like this before? A Joker fight without the actual Joker amazing stuff.

Obviously we're taking a huge risk doing that. Personally I rather see this over The Joker vs Green Goblin. Just imagine the interactions with these two. I felt that by itself what makes this so fun to watch. Then all the possible situations that could happen as well. All of a sudden, this fight keeps more interesting than expected.

I do like both these characters. There's a lot of people that felt Jerome not his brother Jeremiah should've been The Joker. Honestly, Jerome lacked some major traits of the character. I do agree he was more fun to watch in comparison. Arthur comes off as a surprising, refreshing take on the concept. I would love to see this fight happen eventually on the show.
