[This is a different one speaking]

Lupin is NOT a copy of the Joker. Open your bloody eyes and see that both are unrelated in every way. Yeah sure both plans their battles likewhat, sure all they want is to garner attention,  yeah sure both are great prepsters. but their careers, and modes operandi differs GREATLY. Joker is a mass murdereing SOB who wants nothing more than to spread laughter to his whim. Lupin is a gentleman thief, he has morale and doesn't kill that much. Morality matters. Most of all, even if great prepsters, Joker gets his plans down because he's got an ARMY of goons in his disposal. Lupin plans his with only a few men, sometimes he even does it himself. Joker has some awesome tools, but most rely on everyday weapons, Lupin is both a thief and an inventor, his gadgets are more versatile. Joker had a experience a lot, but Lupin experienced a lot more, especially because of his heritage. Mentally healthy, both are opposites. THEY ARE DIFFERENT IN MANY WAYS.

BTW: Greatest prepster in whole of fiction is still John Constantine
