*IIRC Several people on these threads have posited that the Joker may secretly have superpowers or be paranormal in some way. Taking that a step further, what if he was related to one of DC's various satan-like entities (such as Trigon or Darkseid one of the negative emotion entities). In the "why so serious" monologue from The Dark Knight if we take "fiend" to mean "demon" rather than "crackhead" then the idea of a smile being carved in the Joker's face takes on an oddly satisfying mythic quality. Like, maybe that's not just some messed up thing that happened to him and messed him up, maybe it actually constructed his current personality directly.
