I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m sick of comic-book movies.
I haven’t seen Joker, but from what I understand, it’s a good psycho-thriller, and they could have made the same movie without a comic book connection, just called him something else after he went off the deep end.
Joker could almost be marketed as a non-comic book movie. If it weren’t referencing a character that is so well-known, viewers wouldn’t even know that it was from a comic book. There is literally zero super hero/super villain stuff going on - just an intense character study.
“I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m sick of comic-book movies.”
So am I.
But Joker is not a comic book movie. It’s a psycho-drama.
This is not it...
This one is the one worth watching.
And, the Joker connection works perfectly with the thematics...
Yes. And I am also tired of the constant reinventing of characters with endless origin stories.
Hollywood is rather slim in new and imaginative movies. I think the best years are behind it. Much greater entertainment comes from the streaming type movies and series.

I’m not sick of them yet. I’ve enjoyed all the MCU movies I’ve seen but I’ll be in no hurry to watch the Phase 4 movies that promise to be female and gay-centric. Hopefully those films will lose money and Kevin Feige comes to his senses.
the movie isn’t comic book. The character may be from Batman, but the story here and the character here is in the same line as Taxi Driver. A gritty, realistic movie of how we as society fail people and how governments destroy people
