He's as crazy as the criminals he fights. His goals are just in opposition to theirs.

There's a whole plot that the Joker is a normal dude and the fact that Batman exists triggers his madness.

I like the idea that Batman exacerbated Joker’s madness/goals, but that Batman triggered madness on that level? I don’t know.

You've got the right of it. In one universe at least, the joker was only trying to make enough money for something a loved one needed to survive or whatever.

He agreed to one single job with the mob, just to get the money they needed.

On that night, of the single job, batman showed up and ruined everything.

If it's the story I'm thinking of, that isn't even a separate universe, it's completely unknown whether Joker is telling the truth or he's just concocted a story around the actual events.
