This is stupid. On many levels.

1) Just make it the origin of Leto's Joker. There's no need to add to confusion and start a whole new universe.

2) The DC characters are not split up as Marvel characters are by rights holders (X-Men belong to Fox, Spider-Man to Sony, etc). Just keep one universe.

3) The Joker is not supposed to have an origin. It's one of my few beefs with Batman (1989). He is mysterious and made extra creepy by the fact that he has nothing to lose.

4) This shows a complete and utter lack of faith by DC and WB in the current DCEU. They obviously think that the DCEU is going to fall apart and they want a backup.

5) It's also an obvious waiting game for the DCEU. If it fails, they just drop it and bring this new universe to the forefront. If the DCEU picks up steam, then they'll just say that it's all part of the multiverse and play it cool.

6) It's a cash grab.

Yup. I think your points perfectly summarizes why this decision is so stupid. Just when I think DC is getting their shit together, they go and pull something like this.
