I’ll watch it. So far, online comments about it are very positive. I may even go to the theater to see it.
Hard to believe Phoenix can do better than Heath Ledger’s portrayal in “The Dark Knight,” the only watchable move in the Chris Nolan Batman trilogy, imo.
At some point, Joker will be in another Batman movie. Will he be played by Joaquin Phoenix, Jared Leo, or ? Apparently, Warner has decided to make DC movies that are standalone. I prefer the interconnectedness of the MCU movies, even though I may have seen my last one because of their reported new PC direction.
Having seen many of the movies Joquim Phoenix has been in including Gladiator and the Johnny Cash movie, he may be the most underated actor in Hollywood. Truly an incredible actor who can change himself according to the role. I have no doubt he will be incredible in the movie, but I just can’t watch this one...I think he is going to make it the most creepy cringe worthy, most uncomfortable Joker movie to date.
To each his own.
Although I enjoyed the entire Nolan trilogy, I preferred The Dark Knight Rises to The Dark Knight.
I collected comics long ago. I owned many hundreds of both Detective Comics and Batman Comics (more of each than of any other DC or Marvel titles) - my oldest Detective Comics went back to 1945. In other words, I know the genre - and this title - exceedingly well.
Heath Ledger played an idiosynchratic psychopath more than he played The Joker. The best portrayal of that actual character from the canon was by Jack Nicholson.
