Today especially, it's worth contemplating the state of our post 9/11 collective imagination.

Hollywood just trying to promote more and worse crime. Glorifying that which will tear down the USA!

Is it possible that the movie could be temporarily shelved by Warner Brothers because of the current political climate?

“Era of mass murder”? What utter bilge.

The 20th Century was the “era of mass murder” (Mao, Stalin, Hitler, in that order,) thanks to the Socialism/Communism these people advocate.

The movie looks very dark, but good.
I plan to see it.

Portraying the villain as the protagonist?

What could go wrong? It’s been done ever since... Harry Potter.

They’re already saying this Joker is better than even Heath Ledger Joker. No F way. Ledger IS the GOAT of Jokers.

Heath Ledger is the Joker.

Leonard Nimoy is “Spock”

I won’t be seeing this most recent effort.

I’m likely not going to see this movie on opening night.

Just saying...

They don’t dare make movies about the blackest villains - collectivists who believe they can make humanity better.

I’m not a big fan of comic book movies generally, but I think they’re going way overboard today making them so “gritty” and “real.” Pennyworth has very graphic depictions of sex and violence. VERY graphic. It’s part of the Batman story so why all the T&A and decapitation?

It’s possible to take issue with some of the details of the controversy, but it’s a good thing that people are finally asking what the effects of entertainment on society really are.

> ...Stephanie Zacharek wrote that Phoenix’s character “could easily be adopted as the patron saint of incels,” referring to the “involuntary celibates” group of frustrated males whose beliefs have come up in several mass killings.

Well Stephanie has come up with the answer to mass killings.
Come on girls. Take one for the team.

you know what is empowering, not giving hollywood my money and not filling my head with their garbage.

I don’t even have to debate whatever they are talking about cause i just don’t even care.

Liberating and good for peace of mind. I don’t miss facebook at all either

Doubtful. It's going to make a ton of money. Early reviews are stellar.

Morons always gonna be morons. The only past, present, and future is now. See all things thru the filter of now. And by the way, if it isn’t happening to me, or in my twitter feed, then it isn’t important.
Morons.

To me, The Joker will always be the guy who whacked Batman’s parents, and ended up looking like he did by falling into a vat of chemicals. Everything else is just fanboy misappropriation, so don’t be a buzzkill.

The original, authentic Joker is simply an evil man.

This is just more leftist revisionism, to make him pathetic and sympathetic.
