What reasons shouldn't it be r rated? To sell toys or make it family friendly?

As I said....I don't care if it's R-Rated or not, but I'm not going to insist it should be, and assume before they have even announced a director let alone start filming, that it needs to be.

Why it makes sense not to be R-Rated - to appeal to a wider audience, to allow a wider audience, franchise continuity and yes "selling toys".

The whole Joker did so Blade could as well argument makes no sense. Blade will be part of a series, a franchise. Joker is removed from any other DC franchise or series, and it's likely that it will remain that way - it's a story about a man who dresses as a clown and then loses it...as far as I know The Joker was never a clown of any sort before he turned to crime, there was never a character called Fleck...it's a "Joker" film in name only with Wayne and Gotham thrown in. It's isolated from the DC universe. Blade will not be isolated from the MCU unless there are plans not yet released.

Idk if it's fair to say Blade shouldn't be r rated based on old books

But it's just a valid argument as one that says it should be r-rated because the later books are more violent....books influenced by the earlier film which ignored much of the characters comic history.

The origins of the Joker from Wikipedia:

Batman: The Killing Joke (1988) built on the Joker's 1951 origin story, portraying him as a failed comedian pressured into committing crime as the Red Hood to support his pregnant wife. Batman's interference causes him to leap into a chemical vat, which disfigures him. This, combined with the trauma of his wife's earlier accidental death, causes him to go insane and become the Joker.[25] However, the Joker says that this story may not be true, as he prefers his past to be "multiple choice".[67] In this graphic novel, the Joker shoots and paralyzes Barbara Gordon and tortures her father, Commissioner James Gordon, to prove that it only takes one bad day to drive a normal man insane.[53] After Batman rescues Gordon and subdues the Joker, he offers to rehabilitate his old foe and end their rivalry. Although the Joker refuses, he shows his appreciation by sharing a joke with Batman.[68] Following the character's maiming of Barbara, she became a more important character in the DC Universe: Oracle, a data gatherer and superhero informant, who has her revenge in Birds of Prey by shattering the Joker's teeth and destroying his smile.[53]

But yeah, all of these characters are open to alternative tellings. That’s been the tradition of comics from the beginning. There are multiple versions of the Joker just as there are multiple versions of Batman. The latest in bookstores is where Joker is an antihero fighting the corrupt billionaire Bruce Wayne.
