This'll get your (ahem) JOKER juices flowing....


I don't get these videos; the gist is that the movies have taken some liberty with the Joker's origin and it sort of ruins the character? That doesn't bother me at all and it's not necessarily 'wrong' for films to do this IMO. The audience is supposed to be bigger than comic book nerds like me who can spot obvious origin differences or creative liberties the movies take with certain characters. I think Nolan nailed the character but to be honest, that version of Joker never existed before that film - sort of this anarchist bent on exposing the hypocrisy of justice/fairness. I even liked Leto's Joker in Suicide Squad though I know others didn't - his portrays the 'mental illness' part of Joker better than most others IMO though Joker was never as physical as Leto portrayed him (the dumb tattoos and grill notwithstanding, I'd lover another Leto Joker film).

I'm looking forward to this Joker movie even if there appears to be yet another origin for him. This looks like Taxi Driver with clown make up, but I'm a big fan of Phoenix and his method and I think it looks great.

IMO, the best 'true' version of Joker is the one Mark Hamill (yes, Luke!) voiced and brought to life on Batman: The Animated Series...



Also, I see Harley has a new trailer for her movie...
