Perhaps Im confused by the "DC" label, but is this Batman's Joker? This seems unrelated, and I was sort of under the impression Joker's origin story was intentionally never determined. [Reply]
Everyone saying it's a masterpiece and Oscar buzz for Phoenix.
@firstshowing: There will be before Joker. And there will be after Joker. I don't know if the world is ready for this movie. Or maybe it is? It is GNARLY. It is crazy. It is audacious. It doesn't hold back. Wow. I can't believe it exists. But it does. And it's coming. [Reply]

Did they have the balls to make it rated R? [Reply]

Amazing. When it was announced I was quite skeptical because Todd Phillips has only ever done comedies. [Reply]
The only negative I've seen is that he (Todd Phillips) tried to do too much in one movie. But that's not unusual in entertainment these days. I just finished season one of Carnival Row and while I liked it a lot, they tried to cram about ten different storylines into eight episodes. [Reply]
I generally disapprove of giving this character a back-story.
I prefer the Joker that just randomly makes up his own back story with nobody knowing what is or isn't true. The enigma is part of the fun of the character.
I just hope the 'bastard son of a Trumpian Thomas Wayne' rumors aren't true. [Reply]

Did I ever tell you how I got these scars? [Reply]
