I used that in another thread, didn't want to be too repetitive. I just watched Joker the other night. I really liked it. Kinda glad they went with Joaquin Phoenix over Jared Leto.

Ledger was the best Joker

I agree he did amazing job in that role, but I didn't like that version of the joker as much as I liked Jack Nicholson's. I'd still like to see Mark Hamill do a live action version.

Wow Mark Hamill... that would be interesting. He played a good Co*k knocker!

He does the joker's voice in Batman the animated series, and some animated batman movies and video games.

One of the best role's ever. Scary how good he really was.....very natural.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

His malfunctioning bomb scene was epic coinicendental improv.

He also kept busy doing voices in Metalocalypse between Star Wars movies

He has done tons of voice over work.

The whole disappearing pencil trick was brutal.

Many think he’s the best joker.

The newest joker with Phoenix was terrible. There’s no way that character he played was a criminal mastermind.

Everyone starts somewhere. We might be expected to infer that the meds he was on were limiting his potential.

There are tons of leaps one has to take to believe that that character could ever become the Joker. Including that he apparently developed an anti-aging serum lol

True, Joaquin was maybe a bit old for.the character. But, come on, one of the official comic book origin stories of the Joker is he was a lab tech who fell into a chemical vat. I think "Joker" was attempting to demonstrate how a real-life Joker might come to be, rather than presenting an origin story of a comic book Joker.

I more mean he went and visited Bruce and there’s clearly 30+ years between the two of them in the movie.

I know it was trying to bring more light to the fact that Joker had mental issues and such. I just think they did that really poorly.

I heard “special” clean up crews are heading to Phoenix to get us caught up by next week. They’ll be working on Sunday and Memorial Day .

Did they work on Sunday and memorial day?

If you ever watched/read "The Killing Game", it is revealed that the Joker just snapped one day. He was trying to prove that all it takes is one bad day to make a good man turn bad by doing terrible things to Commisioner Gordon.

He had some technical training and knowledge, but there is nothing in his background that suggested he would be a criminal mastermind or that he suffered from mental illness.

I think it's a mistake to take Joker as a canon story. It's more like an "elseworlds" story-line. The age difference isn't that big a deal. Even the director says he might not be the real Joker.

Joker Director Todd Phillips Says Arthur Fleck Might Not Be the Real Joker

I liked the depiction of the character's descent from trying to keep it together to fully embracing his insanity. I did think the delusional relationship with his neighbor was unnecessary and a bit ham-fisted. I also think the movie would have been less captivating without the Batman connections. "Falling Down", plot point for plot point, was a better movie.

Just my personal opinion. Which plenty of critics and others share. I didn’t like it. My wife is the comics fan. She didn’t like it either.

It's just a comic but seems to be an attempt to rewrite history. At least they didn't try to twist it to a social justice/gay theme.
