I’d venture to say this portrayal of Joker will be one we haven’t seen before. Most follow the comic book portrayal then there’s the Ledger Joker. A more realistic sadistic no real motives other than wanting to watch the world burn type of villain; very few notions to making it a reiteration of the classic comic book Joker. This Phoenix Joker seems to be a more vulnerable outcast driven to insanity type, not the mobster of the comic book, or what theories of the back story of the Ledger Joker. Will definitely be an interesting watch. I hope it’s a success, we might get a sequel.
Pick your poison.
I was thinking the same thing, I'm happy they didn't puss out and went with the R rating.I think we're going to see the development of a psychopathic monster in this one, especially given the R rating.
Saw it today and I loved it. Thought he did an amazing job as Joker.
Just watched it. It doesn't even feel like a comic movie. It's creepy, sad, and downright uncomfortable in some parts. JP is awesome in the role, as is everyone else in the movie. I'm not anxious to watch it again, but it is a pretty good movie.
