What is exactly is your reservation for Joker and Damned being in the same universe? They're both from the same creative team. Damned picks up directly after Joker. The plot literally carries over. Damned #3 directly shows flashbacks to Joker, including Johnny Frost's corpse.

Joker was also a standalone graphic novel by Azzarello and Bermejo, released in 2008 for mature readers, that was never advertised or implied to be in-continuity. It also doesn't follow mainstream continuity at all, and it isn't just alternate costumes either.

While Year One, The Killing Joke, and Arkham Asylum were later retconned into main DC continuity, this has never happened with Joker. Even Johnny Frost has never been referenced outside of that one graphic novel or in any canon storyline (besides as a flashback in Damned and a cameo as a standard henchman in the DCEU).

Even if we assume that Joker is 100% canon to New Earth continuity, that still doesn't change the fact that the plot of Joker carries directly into Damned (with flashbacks and everything), which is from the exact same creative team.

I really don't see what the point of the Bruce Wayne (Damned) revert was. Stating "we don't know if the two stories are in the same continuity" is a blatant lie, per. The events of Joker not only took place in the Damnedverse, but the entire plot of Damned hinges on them. At this point, we might as well say that we don't know if TDSA is in continuity with TDKR. I don't even see a source that confirms Superman: Year One takes place on Earth-31. Where's the link for that claim?
