Their decision to not use “Joker” on television because there is also one in the current movies is just dumb in principle, especially given that they’ve already broken their own rule with Superman, Flash, and Deathstroke. It also projects the idea that they have to protect their investment in the movies because they have zero faith in their own shows being good.
On the other hand, the actor playing Jerome/Jeremiah is one of the high points on a show that’s all over the place in terms of writing and tone. I just finished watching the season finale, and there are a few great characters on the show, but it still feels like a show that doesn’t know what it wants to be. I don’t expect any adaptation to be exactly the same as the source material, but some of the characters on Gotham don’t appear to have anything in common with their comic book counterparts other than their name. So maybe when it comes to not letting them use the name “Joker” on Gotham, in this case Warner Bros. is accidentally right.
But they used "Joker" on DC Universe Titans. He appeared there, green hair, white skin, and purple suit
