He stopped dancing as much after he hurt his hip and started taking painkillers and...well.

It's really hosed to consider that he's an opioid casualty.

I think the Joker should strive to make the audience laugh. I always felt uncomfortable when I laughed at Jack Nicholson or even Mark Hamill.

The Joker's just another mediocre white male comedian, disappointed that their tired politically incorrect schtick isn't getting the laughs it once did. Batman Beyond was the only Batman to notice that the Joker just wasn't funny.

Reiterating, caused by the fact that his religion doesn't allow the blood transfusions he needed to get his surgery because of a dumb reading of the Bible saying "do not eat blood."

Though the Joker version is more 'Life doesn't matter!'

I'm kinda surprised no one's rolled with the Joker actually being a clown in his origin story before, iirc.

Had to chuckle at this because it seems like that kind-of movie from the trailer! I'm not on the hype train; Drew Magary sums up my reaction well:

I like not knowing anything about the Joker.

That trailer had some cool pre-Joker things in it (Joaquin laughing by himself in the subway car), but I sense that we're being forced to sympathize with a complete lunatic. Those shots of Phoenix on the ground crying seem way too loving saccharine. I'm sure Joaquin will nail the role though.

I think Ad Astra and Ford v Ferrari have a shot at being good.

Also, I'm an idiot, so I'm still holding out some kind of hope that they haven't completely hosed with New Mutants.

That Joker trailer looks like middlebrow trash. Leto as an ICP gangster wannabe reflects what the Joker actually is: a tryhard loser. Phoenix is going to class up the psychosexual pathos of a man pretending to be a clown to fight a man pretending to be a bat.

You should probably steer clear of appearing on late night TV shows hosted by Conan O'Brien sound-a-likes in the future, just as a friendly warning.

Oh, I know. I love the environment and love a good pro-environment message. Avatar, in my opinion, was so pro-environment they forgot to put a story or characters in there.

Avatar isn't about environmentalism, at least not primarily. The close relationship between the Na'vi and their planet serves to signify that they aren't Fallen in the biblical sense.

Sure, but some Jokers indulge harmless male fantasies of getting money, being respected/feared, and dating a hot emo girl.

Other Jokers indulge harmful antisocial male fantasies of being a brooding renegade philosopher who no one understands.

There’s a direct causative line from this:

My problem with people like you and this Drew person is that you’re so wrapped up and in love with CANON you can’t open your mind to different interpretations of characters from a medium that always changes things. You ruin things and lash out because a writer dares try something new.

Maybe there should be a tale of a Joker who is sympathetic.

How about you try new things and stop complaining when you get something other than a McDonalds cheeseburger combo.

i think trying to have the protagonist be a nuanced portrait of living with mental illness and also the joker is going to be a trainwreck

i'd be real suspicious of that trailer even if it wasn't about a mass-murdering licensed character

It's really looking more like the Paggliaci route than trying to be realistic or relatable

To be honest, Batman would work perfectly as an opera.
