So I did some research on the backstory of the Joker, and it’s very messy, but that’s mostly because the several writers that wrote his character decided that an unreliable narrator should have multiple origin stories, fulfilling Joker’s line, “if I’m going to have a past, I want it to be multiple-choice!” It has been made clear that he does not remember his life before becoming the Joker, although he remembers things from time to time, but they don’t match up because they are from different versions of his origin story.

In all of these origin stories, there is one common similarity, and that is he was a criminal before jumping into the vat of chemicals. That is one thing we can be certain of. Also, he is insane, but that’s something we knew already.

So, allow me to make a counter-argument. I don’t think Two Brains is a parallel or a character based on the Joker. Maybe he is somewhat similar to a specific portrayal of the Joker, but there isn’t enough there. Two Brains remembers his life before becoming evil, if I remember correctly, and still retains some of his original personality. It’s just that the sociopathic mouse brain takes over his life. He’s not really the same kind of insane as the Joker, and we know for a fact that he wasn’t a criminal before turning evil.
