:dwillhuh: how would that work with a new early 30s y/o Batman and Bruce Wayne in Joker was born in the 70s? Also Arthur/Joker would be an old man fighting a prime Batman
fukk a universe, as long as we keep getting films like this I'm happy. Having these standalone films tackle DC heroes/villains in their own artistic ways means much more to me.

Like....the cinematography and attention to detail in this film is something else. I'm giddy just thinking about what more could be in store in the future.

That Harley Quinn movie trailer was fukking trash btw, Watching this movie and thinking wow that silly shyt is being released under DC. They need to scrap that universe and begin anew starting with this Joker

They've got a lot of opportunity to take a lot more risk-taking and I hope they take advantage of it

I'm really glad Marvel took a risk with Deadpool being an R rated flick instead of the typical PG-13.

I feel DC could revisit the Batman franchise but from a deeper, darker, grittier angle.

I wasn’t blown away by it but it was a very very good movie. Joaquin acted his ass off, great performance from him. His version shouldn’t be compared to Heath’s, both those performances stand alone to their respective movie. That quote he had in the diary on mental illness was spot on.

Just came back from seeing it. First of all, I loved the grittiness of the film. Everything looked filthy like old New York. Cinematically this film was beautifully made I'm still unsure how I feel about the story, they drifted away from the source material quite a bit. Honesty this didn't even feel like a comic book movie. It was more like a Tragedy, something I think Shakespeare would write. Not to compare this movie to Shakespeare, I just feel its similar in a way. The ending was a bit disturbing to me. Clearly this theme of mediocre white men lashing out is a real thing, but him becoming some kind of hero as if the rest of us should relate and pity a struggling white man idk that kind feels like a slap in the face to me. I definitely see how this could inspire some stupid incel to commit some violent act. Just like in the film when
Joker killed Murry and said "You get what you deserve". That one line was enough to inspire another lunatic to kill the Wayne's on front of their child only a little while later.

I haven't read this thread yet but has anyone noticed??
That everyone that Joker tried to open up to emotionally was black....
The both of his therapists were black.
The woman he had a fantasy for was black.
The clerk at Arkumn Hospital that he briefly opened up to was black.

I wonder what was the message in that. It's almost like they were trying to say black people have the ability or responsibility to save failing white men... idk..

This movie was great in many ways I admire but extremely problematic as a comic book fan and also as someone who see real life themes like white incel rage being glorified.
