Deniro plays himself..an ass. Joker shoots him on live TV. Gets up and shoots him again. Saw a clip of it on youtube.

That seems to be the conscious intent all along. Making it a gritty character film like from the Seventies. It even opens with that old style Warner logo. The approach worked quite well (though it does have that ba$t@rd De Niro, filling in for Jerry Lewis from King Of Comedy).
