Because Bob Kane didn't have an original idea in his head.
He's the Rob Liefeld of the 1930s.
Gwynplaine’s (Conrad Veidt) fixed grin and disturbing clown-like appearance was a key inspiration for comic book talents writer Bill Finger and artist Bob Kane in creating Batman’s greatest enemy, The Joker.

That and an old "Joker" from a deck of cards.....
whoa whoa! let's not insult the guy, he may have been taking false credit but there's no need to be mean.
if you go to bing images and type "remembering bill finger" there is a cool cartoon of bob kane describing batman in a word bubble and bill finger's imagination exploding with a gotham backdrop, pretty cool.
I have seen that cover. All Kane ever came up with were those great purple gloves.
