CNN has weighed in and you'll never guess what they feel the film 'validates' and 'led to the rise of.'

It was ok. Didn't think it was some masterpiece like some have said/reviewed.
Clearly the most entertaining part was when he started to transform into Joker. That's when the movie started to finally pick up. Because other than that, the movie for the most part was slow and dull. |

Phoenix is absolutely making it sound like a sequel is a possibility.

It could work out time-wise really well. Bruce is what, 10 or 11 when this movie takes place in I think they said 1981. So if you put Robert Pattinson in the same universe and have him be a brand new Batman, you could easily introduce Joaquin Phoenix in The Batman and get that rivalry started and setup a pretty impressive trilogy if done right.

I haven't seen it, but it sounds somewhat like Christian Bale in American Psycho. I liked that film except when he killed the beggar's dog. Different lifestyles but the feedback seems similar.

Nearly every site has MULTIPLE reviews of it, which seems weird on it's face except they're clearly trying to manipulate public perception of the film. Why did the Guardian feel the need to review it 3 times? I've seen two reviews from Vice. Multiple from Salon. They're trying to stuff the critic box. The movie is a Rorschach test. What you take away seems to have more to do with the person watching than anything the film itself does. I wasn't blown away nor did I find any pushy messaging. I kinda felt like i'd already seen it since it borrows so many beats. Last edited by WhiteWhale; 10-08-2019 at 05:51 PM.. |

I think you could pass Phoenix as 30 in this movie, maybe a bit younger. I would say that Joker by trait is 10 years older than Bruce Wayne, it's a stretch, but not a massive one.

I am guessing here but probably that we need to consider mental health to be important for those that don't have access to services, as well as taking the ultra rich down a few pegs. I am guessing they won't make a Batman movie based off this, but it would be interesting to see how he is portrayed. Does the bat continue to beat the shit out of impoverished nobody criminals or will he actually go after white collar shits and beat the piss out of them? As it sits now Joker is an idol and symbol to the broken and poor in that universe.
