Gotham’s Joker can’t be called “The Joker” or have green hair because of the movies

“Various hair tests. Pure green was off-limits to us (as well as the name “Joker”), a decision from high-up as they wanted to reserve these for films,” Monaghan explained. “A decision which ultimately I respect. They did not want to dilute the very lucrative brand. It allowed for creativity on our end.”
