Why Liberal Media Hate the Movie, ‘The Joker’

That’s right......it’s just a make believe Movie. The media always ‘rides the backs of lead films’ to make political points one way or another.

People can and do judge whatever they want of any movie...Joker appears to have a great script, great acting and a host of other greats from all the reviews.

Faggotry has ruined many films recently.....often interjected when you aren't expecting it and really adds nothing to the scripts except they show up. It's an all out effort of Hollywood's, as usual, ‘conditioning’ the public to it's debauchery.

::Sigh:: I miss Cesar Romero.

There’s been enough reviews of the Joker so people know what they are stepping into when they go. Those crying out about it just want an excuse to flap their jaws.

I find serial murderers a fasinating study...like the Canadian Col. Russell Williams.... His interrogation was stunning and worth the listen..... of course some are just outright nutjobs and of little interest. BTK was another of interest. Bundy and a few others.

First, I’m the guy who as a kid...consumed comics with a passion...more so DC than Marvel. So I have a different prospective on this.

To your question....”In other words, in this story arc, Joker is the Moriarty to Bruce Wayne’s Sherlock. Will either liberals or conservatives both be able to identify with the good guys in this film?”

There are three answers to this. First, for the people who read the comics before the 1990s (before all of this deep-thought came into storylines of comics)...we will always identify the good and bad guys, putting them into their rightful place. Politics won’t matter.

Second, to the non-comic reader who watched all the Batman movies up until the Christian Bale ‘period’...I think most people will identify the good and bad guys, and just watch for pure entertainment. Again, politics won’t matter.

Third, but then along came the 2005 reboot, and we were introduced to a complicated Batman, with complicated background characters. Batman got the job done, but he wasn’t pure of heart anymore. As the second of the Bale Batman movies is delivered, with Dark Knight...we finally get introduced to the new Joker vision...with Heath Ledger delivering a one of a kind performance. Scene by scene, this Joker is no longer a plain criminal or nutcase...he’s a revolutionary. He wants to bring society to chaos, to reshape it. Batman is going down his traditional path....simply to catch the bad guy. Joker’s intent is more sinister, but ultimately to make everyone a loser...to restart the system.

In the third case, liberals and conservatives probably have a problem in identifying the good and bad guys. Some liberals might even say that the Joker as a revolutionary is doing work that Bruce Wayne and Batman should have been doing...resetting the capitalistic society.

Adding to this, along came Suicide Squad where you were pulling for the bad guys to win against the super-bad guys.

Some of the DC material can go this way...other material (Wonder Woman and Aquaman) can’t be bent too far. Although I admit that the new version of Aquaman isn’t anything compared against the early comic version.

Birds of Prey is slated for 2020, and promises to be another ‘bad guys aren’t that bad’ experience.

All of this brings me to this last point...comics are unique. They can’t compare against the story-line of A Tale of Two Cities, Robinson Crusoe, or the Last of the Mohicans. Bad guys are bad guys, and things are two-dimensional. A liberal and conservative can both read a novel by Upton Sinclair and each reach generally the same conclusion on good versus evil. Modern comics can suggest something that is radically different.
