What if Jim Carrey played the Joker instead of the Riddler?

I've been reading comments on YouTube that suggest that Sting (Steve Borden), when he was doing his own Joker gimmick in TNA Wrestling in 2011 was essentially what you would get if you mixed Heath Ledger's Joker with Jim Carrey:

They both have that "chaotic-evil" energy, but Carrey's is more chaotic. Nicholson's was more deliberately evil, and Nicolson can have an edge of really pure evil that I've never seen in Carrey.

Even in Carrey's craziest, worst, most fucked-up characters, there always seems to be the possibility that he might do something decent, either by accident or for shits and giggles. Which IMHO works better for the Riddler than the Joker, who is calculating as well as batshit.
