Agree. If they had given us something - anything - to make us think he could contend with Batman. Even so much as a throwaway line from his mother, "You were so good in your chemistry and science classes in school. I wish you had stayed with it, dear" would have helped. This guy is just a harelipped loser's loser. Nothing shows his potential to be a criminal mastermind.

I mean the Joker depicted in the comic the killing joke is pretty close to Arthur. He was just a regular bum that couldn't make ends meat and his wife hated him before he started helping the mafia as a low level crook
