Silent Member Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 The scene in the comedy club where he's taking notes and laughing alone made the film worth watching for me, the fact that you think the film deflates the mystery of a "supervillain" just illustrates that we're looking at this movie from completely different angles. The Joker has never been more interesting imo. And sure it's pompous and it doesn't fully gel, but if DC dares to go this route instead of sustaining the ridiculous Snyderverse grimdark punching, growling and explosions shit shows, I think DC movies *could* end up interesting, at the very least. They obviously can't compete with the Disneyverse marvel machinery anyway, so why not try to go in a completely different direction for a couple of films. Maybe even hand it off to some good directors? I mean this was from the guy that made the Hangover films ffs. Dear god, I'm a well grown man discussing comic book movies on an internet forum. I have much shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDEM Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Lol, me too, bro. I wanted to add something about how he's basically Forrest Gump under that make-up and, more importantly, about Bruce Wayne's parents and changing the canon, but now I can't bring myself to do it ...

xox Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 This portrait of joker has nothing to do with the joker we know! Nothing! It’d be impossible for him to become ledger’s or nicholson’s joker irl... no logic in that. Maybe he’s just a different character that happened to influence heath ledger’s joker in the same fictional world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Yeah I would say he seems a little too childlike. Which is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He devolves back from the kingpin of international supercrime into a lovable childlike simpleton with a mild mental condition, an endearing stutter and a crush on his neighbor. He just won't live with his mother anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that could be interesting, instead of just doing a straightforward sequel with the same guy. I really don't see how they could do another standalone with Arthur as he exists. I feel like that character has already been explored to it's fullest. Or they can pull what James Cameron did with Alien and add an 's' at the end to make 'Jokers'.
