Pheonix didn't portray Joker, his character is someone that inspired the real Joker to appear.
You ever see U-Turn? If he doesn’t win you over in that one, then I dunno what to say.Still haven't watched it.
I hate Phoenix, so might never watch.
Reportedly the sequel is planned to take place 10 years after the events in JOKER; also, producer Bradley Cooper's name has been batted around to take over Batman for this series.I really liked the movie, but I just couldn't see how this guy in a clown suit could somehow end up as batman's arch enemy.
You forget that the most famous use of that origin you just said had him as a complete loser who quit a stable job, to pursue something he was terrible at causing him to fail at supporting his family. He then gets bullied by criminals into participating in a robbery, then stupidly he thinks it's a good idea to jump into a pipeline full of chemical waste to escape. Him being a weak minded loser has been an angle for decades, dude.Falling in acid/chemical waste after a robbery gone wrong has always been the most used origin, him being bipolar and depressive with a weak mind was never an angle before. He was always ruthless and cold
Every meaningful character was white, with no leading female roles. Terrible film.
That’s a bummer. I was pretty content with the story ending there.
I prefer this take, it was disappointing that they didn't make that crystal clear at the end of the movie.
Arthur isn't smart or evil enough to be the actual joker.
I haven't seen the movie yet but if it's full of scenes that don't actually happen except in the main character's head then it's gonna have to be a skip for me.
