It’s ironic to me that some critics are looking at this as a far right propaganda film when it has way more far left elements. He’s off his meds because there’s no more funding for his social services. He inspires an Occupy Wall Street type movement. Thomas Wayne is depicted as this rich out of touch Donald Trump-like figure. The guys he kills that sparks everything are basically caricatures as the rich, rapey Wall Street types. But I also think it’s indicative of the horseshoe theory where at some point if you go far left or far right enough on the spectrum and share this common belief that there are bigger forces oppressing you and the only way to stop it is through extreme measures, people with opposite political ideologies end up meeting at a certain place.

As far as race though the one thing I do find frustrating with movies like these is that the reasons many people find Arthur sympathetic for, (traumatic childhood, his mental health, not having access to proper care, living in poverty everyday) are things that so many black people who turn to crime face every day. They just don’t have the luxury of getting people’s sympathy or understanding. And that’s where I see the privilege. But it seems like critics of the movie are ignoring this element in favor of the whole incel argument which again I didn’t really see outside of his speech to Deniro at the end
Wayne is like Hillary :gucci: Wayne is the one who’s out of touch with the common person even calling the people who are upset clowns which they Then use to call themselves like deplorables.

Was he sharing a bed with his mother? It didn’t look like a two bedroom apartment, and there wasn’t blankets and pillows near the couch.

:ld:



This pretty much summed it up for me. A couple of Wayne references, but other than that, they used the name recognition to get this film hyped.

Had it just been called Arthur, with the same plot and trailer, not set in Gotham, it wouldn’t have been as widely anticipated.


Was called Romeo during the filming up to a certain point

Its a okay movie, but it does everything I hate with modern movies.
It tries to humanize a piece of shyt. SMH.
Now days you can't ever have a person simply be a miserable piece of shyt, they have to try to make it "reasonable" for the
The movie would have ended when he came into the flat after first time the lady asked if he was following her and he said yes.

Oh and he bathed his grown able bodied mother. Hmm.

The cinematography pointing out the delusion was brilliant, ie when he is the usher in the Charlie Chaplin. Hints with the black and white films or the old school songs, show his mind has stopped there. Or does he go there for comfort.

Mad cerebral and subliminal. Where does the delusion and reality differ, or does it?
Every scene in the movie is happening and not a delusion
The only thing that is not real besides his his "girlfriend" is also his audience he tries to entertain. His psychosis was hallucinating happy people, who laugh at his jokes. That all died when Murray the talk show host, put his reality on blast for everyone to poke fun at.
He watched that talk show every night even hallucinating Murray loved him like a son
but the saddest shyt to me was knowing the truth about his child hood, i was looking at the movie like :what: wtf is up with his body... then the facts were revealed. His psychosis was so fukked up he thought he grew up with a loving mother :mjcry:

Scenes like...

the elevator scene with Zazzie
Thomas Wayne
kill in apt
Murray scene

...the majority of the movie should've been scenes like that. Even if they wanted to add more scenes that explored his surreal take on his life.

Well then that's just silly cuz the only reason I was interested in this to begin with is because of Joker who we've known him as for years. This "separate from everything else" bs is just a cop out for them to not be held accountable by critics. I'm not one of those nerds that follow every headline about a movie up until it's released so I wasn't aware of what I was walking into. It's still overhyped and underwhelming even from a separate story arc standpoint.


I def appreciate the fact that your back your criticism up with solid supporting arguments.

But to be fair, even in comics they’ll stray off what’s considered canon and go an entirely different route with an established character, so I don’t think it’s a cop-out.

Also, in the original Batman movie, the age disparity between Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson was similar to the Joker movie.

My Pops Forever RIP
A couple of things that annoyed me just as a New Yorker (I get that it’s Gotham but so what?)
When he gets chased by the detectives toward the train station, that was 170th yet they label it as 18th Av in Brooklyn


So when the detective gets shot and Joker is dancing as he leaves, that’s Bedford Park Blvd. in the BX. You mean to tell me two detectives couldn’t find Joker on the same train between 18th Av and Bedford Park? :dwillhuh:

Other than that I fukked with Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker portrayal

I don’t understand a non spoiler thread but whatever.

great movie.

Hopefully this is a easy layup for the new Batman movie. If that movie fukk up it will have to be the biggest flop in movie history. That’s how well it setup up the new Batman to me. Joker is the best origin story ever to me. Not one scene did I have to suspend disbelief.

give duke the Oscar now
The new batman movie isnt set in the same universe as the joker movie though

10/10 most people probably won't get this movie though



whut will they not get.
that absence of reason,...
the full marketing component of the prison industrial ecinomy system is on full display

this is just another dc/wb vertigo what if style tale.
with batman motif's plastered on it.
once agsin,...
all, because those revenue grab phonies and prison industrial property marketing agency warner.
fukked't up and jagged't another batman franchise,...AGAIN.
where dc.
go back to their vertigo what if elseworld bullshyt to save their asses

then desperately use the same wack card.
die hard later sequels and dragon ball evolution got ripped for.
where warner now goes full wack die hard and sons sequels
written as another story with john McClain.
not really john mcclaine, but it is john mcclane.
or this is goku but it really is not goku.
Or ...this piccolo.
except, it is not piccolo

warner are going the whole die hard sequels that suck route.
by giving us a movie with joker on it.
when the character is really not the joker
which has another story unrelated to Batman.
except it is not batman.

the more i think a out that movie it is the same ol same ol for wb. As they fukk it up.
then people deflect like they saw some heavy absence of reason style anit hero film. Where at the end of the day.
I do not give flying fukk.
about why the villain is like that.
nkr, why he is suffering from extreme transference and failure to accept accountability.

the more i think about it.
this is a worse bait and switch than suicide squad was.
after the Oh batman id in suicide squad.
except it is not the elegant turned joker batman appearance story that was brilliantly made in the cartoon suicide squad.

at this point,...

I am ready to be like fukk wb.
as this series fails to produce anything interesting.
Than a retread back into nineties villain antihero sensationalism and complete absence.
if reason beyond just sheer revenue grab art house film moocoe house semantics.

this is like watching the Elizabeth Taylor lassie movie.
then finding out it ain't even really lassie.


plus after you realize it could have at least flipped a current oh wow. That is really cool and different take in batman.
giving plausible villain opening fornfilm worthy villainy.

it just falls flat on its face.

as it steers so far away from batman in a current sense.
that it just is another indicator to say fukk all dc films.

just like any intelligent comic book reader said about dc. Before comics went to shyt in the nineties comic boom as well.

movie could have set up three central villains to the current batman and at least failed trying to spin a new take on the new shyt. Instead,...all we grt is another huff vertigo art piece. Where once again,...i have to sit through another villain expose. When dc villains all suck ass, outside of some hillshir vertigo take anyway.
after thinking about how much was lost. To make this a new batman, joker. Evil batman Thomas Wayne, could be turned ras ah ghoul. You could have made the pieces for four robin stand alone movies easy. which is bones for the teen titans the highest draw at dc daily. Included in that is Damien Wayne. Who kills dikk Grayson as well. Instead,...this bullshyt ass wb. Does what they always do, and get fake props for. Give the book to some weirdo writer. who can not really write real monthly comics month to month under the comic code.
then, have them go away from the little good they have. For some elseworld vertigo tale.

the more i think about this movie.
this some of the same,...
we need vertigo to save us again,...
ol bullshyt from wb.



my whole life these fools can not get batman right.
I know they will always fukk it up.

it is about time everyone realize.
dey need to say fukk warner.
including the prospect
of a concurrent dc film that makes real sense..
until dc realizes like marvel did.
how not to fukk up characters.
that were already burn up dead draws.
all because of their low quality.
I will ot be giving them good reviews.

Dc movies and comics are a waste of time.
