And it may be the new kid on the block today, but it will merge with the Joker zeitgeist in the long run and have its influence on the character, even if in minor ways. That even includes the comics. I bet within five years, we see Joker doing elaborate dance scenes in the comic books. Did B:TAS ever clarify? |

B: TAS seemed to indulge in multiple choice for him too...Mask of the Phantasm cast him as a mobster who murdered Andrea's father, while an episode of the series focused on him having had a failed stand-up career as part of his backstory.

Joker was never the red hood in B:TAS but he did fall into acid.

If we include the BTAS animated comics he did fall into acid and was the redhood but that comic clashes continuity wise with the show.
Haven't watched the movie but I mean people forget this is a comic book movie, I lol at those who wanted this to be "art" and rate it bad because it's at the end still a comic book movie, I just expect a good origin story for joker not 1984. |

Wow, this movie could become the top grossing R-rated film of all time. It's already one of the most profitable comic book movies.
Guess who else still makes the list? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.for...o-gravity/amp/ |

I watched it friday night, it's ok. Needed more Joker, needed to be shorter, needed to be less pretentious of "what's real/what's in his mind". It's not a bad movie, it's not a great movie, it's somewhere in between, critics on both sides of the political spectrum made this movie out to be something it really wasn't.

Anyways the movie was amazing. I find it kinda meta that Joker's killings had nothing to do with politics but the people in Gotham were trying to turn it into something political... Just like all the media out there trying to turn this political in real life. The media seemed to almost try too hard to provoke a shooting so they could point and say 'we were right!!' The scene with the smaller dude did scare me cause I thought Joker was being a dick and only 'let him go' because he knew he'd be trapped and couldn't unlock the door himself. It did get a few laughs in theaters but then a sense of dread cause we thought his death was coming. I'm glad he let him go. I think the deaths were the most shocking because they were realistic and not over the top special effects and lasers or whatever. Props to making that final gunshot look so realistic.

Why can't Joker be Jack Napier, a failed comedian hurting for money played the fall guy in a botched robbery in which he ran next door and fell into a batch of chemical waste that turned him into the Joker we know today then lost his pregnant wife as a punishment for his failure?

Joker should be gay. Or transgender. Or am I missing the point you were trying to make?

It's been either depending on the writer, child.
Wow, you really "got" me.

No, he should be bi! That way his relationships with Harley AND Batman would both make perfect sense! (I kid, I kid....)

Joker should never love someone romantically. He’s insane, it makes no sense. Joker having flings and one night stands is fine, but to romantically be involved? Joker cares for no one other than himself. And even pre-Joker he should not be like that.

So, self-absorbed narcissist. Yeah, makes sense. Or, maybe losing that ONE person who actually matters to him is what drives him over the edge?

I'm super late in giving my thoughts but hey, I'm living up to my name, lol. I watched this movie twice so that tells you that I really enjoyed it. I really felt for this version of the character though it was hard to tell which scenes were all in his head besides the ones involving his love interest, obviously. Some theorized that the entire movie was all in his head except the very end scene.

One thing I do get sick of is the familial or poetic connection that film makers put into movies thinking it will make things somehow more artistic. It's become a trope.
"The villain knows the heroes secret ID because it makes it more personal". "The villains actions actually catalyze the murder that creates Batman". "The villain and the hero are lifelong friends who cry together at the end of the movie before one of them dies". "The villain is the father figure to the hero to create drama" It's become a trope and a cliche, especially in superhero movies. That's also part of the reason why Ledger's Joker was so good. He was just there. And Batman had to stop him. |
