I think I can even see a little ‘Taxi Driver’ mixed in.

Washington Post:
Movie seems to be less comic book and more early Scorsese

https://www.washingtonpost.com/ampht...arly-scorsese/

Phillips and Phoenix are delivering a true character study — a stand-alone comic-book movie that looks more like a gritty Martin Scorsese portrait of a cackling outcast as he begins to crack up on the city’s mean streets.

This seems to be the stuff of pre-“Casino” Robert De Niro, who fittingly happens to co-star in “Joker.”

This is the textured take of a searching loser coming apart on the urban fringes — a wannabe stand-up celebrity who seems to share cinematic DNA with two iconic Scorsese/De Niro creations: Travis Bickle (“Taxi Driver”) and Rupert Pupkin (“The King of Comedy”).
