Agreed. It’s not only a stupid idea for a movie, giving the Joker ANY kind of backstory just ruins who he is.

A sequel to Maleficent is moving forward as Spectre screenwriter Jez Butterworth has been tapped to polish a script by Linda Woolverton. Angelina Jolie is expected to reprise her role as the wicked sorceress Maleficent.
