The Crow existed before what you are calling "emo" came into being. It definitely was the progenitor of stuff like My Chemical Romance and absolutely gave rise to goth culture before emo became a thing. The Crow made goth-industrial stuff mainstream.

My father was a drinker and a fiend and one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn’t like that, not one bit. So, me watching he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me and he says “WHY SO SERIOUS!?”. He comes at me with the knife “why so serious!?” Sticks the blade in my mouth "lets put a smile on that face!" aaaand….. why sooooo serrrious?

Seriously, the Crow gave birth to the first major media manifestation of this sort of thing. It absolutely existed prior to that but it was not mainstream. Back then, Goth-industrial was a fringe (but interesting) subculture to a lot of young people. Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Machines of Loving Grace - teenage kids didn't know who these bands were before The Crow became a thing. I mean, some of us did but it wasn't mainstream.

"Victims, aren't we all" was the 90's equivalent of "Do you want to know how I got these scars"

Yes, a murderous capitalist who’s only driving goal is the acumulation of money is the best representation of the modern idea of the Joker.

nah, every other batman character from when comic characters were 1 dimensional gimmicks has been fleshed out or given some context that made them interesting, no one really ever gave "clown...but evil!" that same treatment beyond when a grumpy wizard decided to be edgy and say "what if batman is lovely, and the bad clown is just his reflection?" and since then everyone has been aping his deconstruction and pretending there's more depth if they handwave his lack of context as the joker being some manifestation of chaos
Romero and Hamil were great because they understood it's a silly character for kids and hammed it up

I mean, sure? Except also he kept his promise to Llewellyn, so what actually is his driving goal??

Money? He pretty much says it in the movie. He gives a soliloquy about a coin, the basis of currency. It’s not like he kept it a secret.

Yeah, 'why did the killer also kill his target's wife if he didn't need to?' isn't some inscrutable mystery. Dude has a reputation to uphold, and has already demonstrated he's antisocial.
Besides, he also has a bit of a black eye since he didn't catch his target.

He decides the wife’s fate by the flip of a coin, re: money. He’s pretty goony about it actually. He almost had a nosebleed when that gas station guy saw through his capitalist bullshit.

I don't read comics, but in earlier movies, and I have read online, that Bruce Wayne is a playboy that's intimated to bed supermodels and poo poo constantly

what I've never understood about Batman is how he's this billionaire playboy running Wayne Enterprises, which has to be exhausting, and require tons of travel and long hours, AND is sleeping with all these people, and yet he's constantly available as batman 24/7 any time that drat spotlight turns on, which is constantly. Like, how many 24 hour shifts of stressful work and personal life, while being literally beaten to poo poo every goddamn night can this guy do? When they fire up the bat signal and he's just too physically exhausted or out of town on business travel does Alfred have a "NO" signal he turns on and fires back over the city?
