Should it be mentioned that the perpetrator was dressed as the Joker and mentioned the Tim Burton Batman film as an inspiration? Multiple news sources have reported this so it seems worth mentioning.

I think so, especially since the attacker has explicitly told police investigators that he was dressed as The Joker. Per Asahi news here: https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASPC1671RPC1UTIL028.html
"事件当時、服部容疑者は紫色のスーツに緑色のシャツを着ていた。米国の人気映画シリーズ「バットマン」の悪役「ジョーカー」の服装をまねたと説明。「人を平気で殺すので憧れていた。事件のために買った勝負服だ」などと話しているという。"
"At the time of the incident, the suspect Hattori was wearing a purple suit and a green shirt. He explained he imitated the costume of the villain "Joker" from the popular American movie series "Batman". He reportedly is saying "I adored him because he killed people like it was nothing. I bought this as my battle dress for the attack"." Churba (talk) 17:08, 2 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
