Time to start the meme rumor mill that the villain of it will be Jared Leto as a different Joker. Or let's be more realistic Jared Leto as the Morber, the crown prince of Morb.

I was getting Jokerfied by random film people posting those takes before the movie even came out

Then several media members started asking questions to both Phoenix and Phillips about whether it was 'responsible' to release a movie like this and I felt like I was going insane

What better movie will they rip off this time? It was King of Comedy for the first one, so maybe this will be Taxi Driver?

I couldn't finish Joker, its just such a joyless painful movie. Just endless misery with everyone being lovely to each other. That's why I couldn't get through the first season of Preacher, just people with southern accents being lovely to each other.

I'm being 100% honest when I say I don't even remember if I watched Joker or not. I either did and forgot most of it or I didn't and just know certain things about it through cultural osmosis. There's not many movies that I'm completely unsure of if I saw it or not. My best bet of knowing for sure would probably be to look up if I ever mentioned seeing it.

I don’t feel like Joker was particularly responsible or irresponsibly. I remember Phoenix putting in a good performance and everything else feeling very derivative of many other films. Ultimately I just feel like if there’s one kind of movie we probably don’t need more of it’s angry white men having enough and snapping violently. We have enough of those. I’m not saying it makes things worse or anything. Just like you’ve made your point.

who, me?


If the film was "irresponsible," it wasn't in its potential to inspire violence, more in a badly conceived portrayal of mental illness. The entire film just felt voyeuristic to me, trying to ground the character in a veneer of mental health and inequality but not actually saying anything meaningful and at worst outright stigmatizing the people it was supposedly empathizing with.

e: Like, I think the really telling moment in that film is the part where Arthur's dwarf ex-coworker has to ask him for help opening the door after Arthur has just murdered his other ex-coworker in front of him. An absolutely grotesque moment.

Yeah. It felt like a lot of different ideas that felt assembled from other places into a kind of thematically confused non point of saying nothing really. Which is probably why so many people were able to draw so many polarizing reads into what they thought it was trying to say based on their own stuff.

Well, of course I know him.

I liked Joker, but I also haven’t thought about it at all since I saw it and I don’t know why anyone would think it needs a continuation.

There’s also no way it’ll escape unscathed without any influence from the creepiest parts of its fandom, so it’s probably a mistake to even make it.

That's where I'm at. Perfectly good, absolutely doesn't deserve a follow-up. Actually thinking more about it, a sequel retroactively kind of ruins the original? But then again that's like 50% of sequels.

Regardless I'm so excited for the piping hot takes about how its existence is a dark sign of our times or some poo poo :suicide:

I wonder if they're gonna have him actually say Shazam at any point. Because I feel like it immediately makes Shazam (the character) being called that look stupid... which it is, but I feel like DC might want to avoid pointing out how dumb their own naming decision was on Captain Marvel.

They are going to make his magic word BlackAdam. The dumbest idea.

I also think there is a 60% chance (down from my original 99% chance) that this movie is going to end with Black Adam killing the JSA to show how bagasse and serious this stuff is.

I'm assuming he gets locked in a tomb or magic portal or something and the stinger is him showing up in modern times. Billy may or may not show up for a second there but I doubt he'd be in the main movie

Dr. Fate is a good character. All of the various series he has had over the years are good. I recommend reading all of it from the 40s to the present.
