I guess I can't wrap up my mind here, sorry. I have to say that to tone down my statement and say that Joker is not a "crap choice", but more like "odd". Other third party characters like Sonic, Snake and Bayonetta had a few reasons here and there to make it to the roster, while both Cloud and Joker are just plain weird due to the fact that they don't hold any particular tie with Nintendo or their history. 67 chracters (barring Cloud, Pac-man if you want, and now Joker), in fact, do, so when a character that doesn't align with that general scheme pops up, so it's kind of hard not to think it doesn't feel a little out of place, in spite of the producers' comments that the series is mostly a celebration of video games in general as the ton of Spirits of different media can prove now. So it's not my intention to offer a definite judgement, it's more like an impression, because at the end of the day Joker's inclusion also adds many pros as the ones you've stated.
Now, on another note and to be totally fair, I also don't care much about Joker.
My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
