Kinda hoping Phoenix's character is driven to madness by watching Eddie Murphy's Delirious on tv and realizing all he knows are vaudeville jokes

so why exactly is DC making movies outside the DC Extended universe featuring characters that are in its extended universe.
are they going to see how it does and then decide whether to fire Leto as the Joker in the actual EU? cos I think that's a decision that can already be made.

Why does DC have a popular Flash TV show and then make a Justice League movie featuring someone completely different as the Flash, why does DC make 80% of the decisions it makes? My unsubstantiated guess is 'rampant late-stage syphilis' but who can say, really.

they're moving forward with tonally varied standalone movies (this, Shazam, Matt Reeves' Batman solo pic) while retaining some of the things that people liked - Gal Gadot, Margot Robbie, probably Momoa too now I guess

Posted elsewhere, here's director Todd Phillips discussing his approach to this popular character with almost eighty years of history from which to draw:
We didn’t follow anything from the comic books, which people are gonna be mad about. We just wrote our own version of where a guy like Joker might come from. That’s what was interesting to me. We’re not even doing Joker, but the story of becoming Joker. It’s about this man.

What if you adapted The Wonderful Wizard of Oz into a film and just made it a movie about one of the Washington Wizards learning to play basketball in Australia, people would like that, right?
― I Ate Those Food (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 9 July 2019 14:33 (four years ago) link
okay let's map out the process here:
1) take one of the most recognisable characters in pop culture, who has had numerous widely-acclaimed screen translations already2) prevent yourself from telling any stories about him doing any of the supervillainous stuff he's known for3) don't include any of his supporting cast or anyone else from the wider creative universe he functions in4) write a story about his origins which is entirely separate from any of the multiple origins he's been given so far5) ???6) profit

Anyone who might theoretically be interested in some wild take on a DC character with no reverence to the subject matter probably wouldn't be interested in reality because it's still a DC movie.

it doesn't even look wild, though! it's just reheated taxi driver!
― coroner criticises butt (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 9 July 2019 14:45 (four years ago) link
Also worth noting that...they just did this a few years ago ('this' being a cinematic presentation of the Joker which didn't resemble the character in any meaningful way) and the reaction was a resounding 'nope'.
― I Ate Those Food (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 9 July 2019 14:47 (four years ago) link
So it's more of a story about the man behind the grease paint.

It's rare that you get enough heads up on a car crash that you're actually able to set up some lawnchairs on the sidewalk, maybe get some corn poppin'. It's a nice change of pace.

'this' being a cinematic presentation of the Joker which didn't resemble the character in any meaningful way
tbf there's not really anything in the trailer which suggests this won't meaningfully resemble a plausible origin story for a character who's had numerous origin stories, it's just... who gives a shit? his origins are the least interesting thing about him ffs

What I want to see is the Joker's infancy. When did he learn to crawl? What was his favorite flavor of baby food? Did he wear disposable or cloth diapers?

This remains the case. The definitive version of the Joker is from B:TAS anyway, I don't care if this movie doesn't really have anything to do with the famous clown we all love. Pure cinema.

Phoenix would be the reason to see this yeah. I didn’t clock that Philips was the director, I don’t like his work at all iirc
― shhh / let peaceful like things (wins), Tuesday, 9 July 2019 15:22 (four years ago) link
TBF my dour preconceptions of this film wrt Phillips at the helm have been based upon the bulk of his career but there's always a slim chance that we'll be gifted with something that hearkens back to his Hated roots.

definitely more Shyamalan than Scorsese though. i think that’s why the end didn’t bother me, because it just felt like he’d given over to total delusion after the Brian Tyree scene at Arkham
