He actually has a decent look. The transformation should work well.

I have no hopes that this movie will be good. Hopefully it ends with Joker offering to tell a completely story.

woah he looks way older than last time i saw him in something.

also i usually think of him as pretty low-energy (not in a bad way, just more of a chill personality) so its hard for me to picture him being manic like the joker

This is the movie where they are making Thomas Wayne evil and acting like Trump. Which is fucked up. It's like if they made a Superman movie and Pa Kent was an asshole

One of the god damned reasons Bruce turned out how he did is cause of his parents. They both were huge philanthropists and tried to help the city anyway they could both publicly and secretly too. Thomas Wayne was nothing like Trump.

This movie is going to piss off alot of people

He looks good. No idea filming had started already.

Alot of things driving me crazy tho. Standalone different from the universe and it looks like its gonna be one of those movies where we wont see the joker until the end

That might actually be a good thing for this movie. Assuming he can nail high energy Joker when he snaps. It should hopefully be a disturbing transition.

It was done pretty differently. Thomas maintained a clean persona to Gotham and his son. Everything rotten about him was secret and done behind closed doors.

I don't know how Bruce would spring from a guy like Donald Trump. It sounds like they're going to make Thomas Wayne into an 80's Trump persona which doesn't seem like a good fit to me.

Are they going to make him an ass publicly? I was under the impression this was all rumors just because Baldwin agreed to play him but he quit like a few days after it was announced.

Wait this Joker appears to be quite old before he becomes the Joker. If Thomas Wayne is in a major role how old is he supposed to be by the time Batman rolls around?

Unless Thomas Wayne is a flashback character maybe.

It sounds like he quit the part because he didn't want to do another Trump impersonation. So I'm guessing that's the intent yeah.

Not always. Bruce is Batman's best disguise, and has probably pretended to do coke or some other part of the elite lifestyle that is morally bad.

Apparently, in the forthcoming #Joker movie, the Jokers real name is Arthur Fleck. As in A. Fleck. Now THATS funny.


Surely this isn't true lol.

I was hoping his real name would be Jack Napier. I can see why they wouldn't do that though. Changing his name kinda adds to the whole "no origin" / "multiple origins" nature of the character.

Just fucking why? This is just ridiculous, honestly. No matter what direction they go, the outcome is never going to live up to our own imagination. No doubt it will take itself way to seriously, again. Fucking DC, they have perfect fucking characters and just keep jamming them into the same garbage movies over and over.

True, but there's a difference between revealing a character's true name, when they previously didn't have one, and changing who a character is. Besides, Bob was more prone to give his opinion on things when he disliked them whereas Stan is more of a "here's a bank account where I can be reached" kind of guy.

Err they completely changed Joker's character and origin in the 89 movie. It wasn't just his name. They also completely changed Batman's origin in the movie.

I'm gonna guess that both of them aren't overly protective of the character. Batman has changed way more over the years compared to Spider-man as well.

I will concede that making the Joker the murderer of Batman's parents was a mistake. It confused the hell out of me as a kid because Batman didn't regard the Joker with any special hatred in the 1966 series or the Animated Series.

I don't think I learned of the existence of Joe Chill until Batman Begins came out.

None of this is a surprise. It's why you're often wrong about this sorta stuff in general. You're just attached to the adaptations you grew up with.
