Yep, we're seeing a lot of joker symbolism. It's written: "it's time for accountability"
(also sounds better in Arabic)

Similarly Joker is being used as a symbol of protest in Iraq.
In yet another fascinating development , Iraqis change their profile pictures to the #joker in anticipation of the 25th October protests. According to many the symbol represents rising against years of oppression and bullying by the government. #iraq pic.twitter.com/KMfA9iSgLW

Photo montages of the #Joker running among protesters in #Baghdad, by Ahmed Shawqy (Insta: ahmedshwqy). He told me that before he saw the movie he felt that Baghdad had turned into Gotham City. After watching it he saw an even stronger connection between the film and #Iraq. pic.twitter.com/YZGlQdEfUf
