Danny Cannon of Gotham Says The Joker Isn’t a Single Person, but an Ideology

Gotham executive producer Danny Cannon, spoke to Entertainment Weekly on what the character of The Joker means, after the events of what happened with Jerome Valeska (Cameron Monaghan) in episode 3, when fans assumed he was the actual Joker.

“I think the Joker isn’t so much a single person as he is an ideology,” Cannon said. “[He’s] an idea that we can all live without fear and we can all be free and we can all not live within the world’s restrictions and not live within the rules at all. This guy walks between the lines and I think that’s an ideology. It’s not a single person. It’s a way to live your life, and I think that’s what we explore.”
