Based on the reviews I was expecting something really shocking and controversial.
It really wasn't that... instead it was a solidly done film that tapped into the idea of rooting for the anti hero, which to be fair was pretty much the only way for a story like this to carry your interest. There's something inherently appealing about that but it's also a pretty common theme of films and TV of this era.
The biggest head scratcher was that Joker appeared to at least 45 while Bruce Wayne was about 10...you would have to imagine that once he finally becomes Batman Joker will not present much of a threat as a guy in his 60s or 70s.
- Some people reckon his character created the idea of the Joker, but wasn't the actual Joker from the comics.PhanLo
- Yeah I don't think it was much more complicated than that they just wanted Joaquin Phoenix for the role.yuekit
- ^ Hmm. Yea this makes sense as the person that killed his parents wasn't Joaquin.Hayzilla
- Who knows? There were a shit ton of Jokers by the end of the filmIanbolton
- I'm not a big comic book fan but doesn't Joker usually have a gang of clown mask wearing henchmen? I figured that's who those guys would become..yuekit
- He's a Joker but not The Joker.pango
- Could be the one 'joker' who went rogue and shot Bruce Wayne's parents becomes the actual Joker later?Akagiyama
- What Pango said ^^haga
- Wasn't orig Keaton Batman 40-ish and Nicholson Joker 60-ish? You could argue that JP Joker is in 30sprophetone
- You know the 1989 Batman movie... the only one that mattered?prophetone

- The Joker himself never was a physical threat to Batman. So yeah, a 65 year old Joker could totally threaten 25 year old Batman.jagara
- I mean, get some henchmen and go to work :)jagara
