Well, that's one more film I never want to see

Jared Leto is out so that's at least got something going for it.

Well, at the very least, I can't wait to see whatever Scorsese passion project this paycheck will fund...

WB has at least 4 movies (5 if he's in "THE BATMAN") featuring the Joker in development, and 3 of them are with Jared Leto...

My theory is that WB is trying to end the comic book craze by heightening contradictions

Definitely a worthwhile use of arguably our best working actor.

Playing The Joker has basically become the closest thing American culture has to playing Hamlet (and as many actors have won an Oscar for one as for the other).

I mean so many serious actors (Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Jared Leto, and now Joaquin Phoenix) have interpreted the role that it’s starting to seem like some kind of ultimate role for a certain kind of actor. I’m not being entirely earnest, I’m riffing on Mark Ruffalo joking about following Edward Norton and Eric Bana in playing The Hulk: “... the way I see it is that Ed has bequeathed this part to me. I look at it as my generation's Hamlet.”

Nothing shocks me anymore. I think The Joker works better with me knowing less about him but who knows.domino harvey wrote: Mon Jul 23, 2018 5:41 pmDe Niro to join as wellMungo wrote: Tue Jul 10, 2018 11:43 pm Joaquin Phoenix set to star in Joker movie, will begin filming in September

I mean, De Niro was the star of Dirty Grandpa, not sure why a superhero film let alone a prestige one would be shocking

Come on dude, even with a myriad of bad choices lately, it's not hard to see why this is notable

My shock comes from De Niro joining what has been a rather routinely mocked project online and I'll concede to being biased because of it. I'd love for it to be good I just don't have any faith.domino harvey wrote: Mon Jul 23, 2018 5:52 pm Come on dude, even with a myriad of bad choices lately, it's not hard to see why this is notable

I wasn't trying to play devil's advocate or be discouraging toward Big Ben - De Niro truly will do just about anything thrown his way, his list of credits includes some real gems, of course, but it's lengthy and mostly full of questionable fare. This stands a chance of being one of the best films he's ever been in, which is wild when you think about it.
Surprised to hear this is the film getting mocked online when there are two Jared Leto Joker films and a Suicide Squad sequel on the way!

I love De Niro to death I'm just very skeptical. I certainly don't think a superhero film is beneath him (Or anyone for that matter.) it's just that with all these inundations with the Joker it feels sort of...like a joke? It will be interesting to see how this film is received here on this forum and with the the more general public.mfunk9786 wrote: Mon Jul 23, 2018 6:05 pm I wasn't trying to play devil's advocate or be discouraging toward Big Ben - De Niro truly will do just about anything thrown his way, his list of credits includes some real gems, of course, but it's lengthy and mostly full of questionable fare.

I'm also guessing I should see The King of Comedy now.

I would always recommend doing that.

Perhaps the new secret origin of the Joker is that he's Rupert Pupkin after he fell into a vat of chemicals?

I hear 80's talk show and I'm thinking more like Morton Downey or Wally Georgezedz wrote: Tue Jul 24, 2018 1:54 am Perhaps the new secret origin of the Joker is that he's Rupert Pupkin after he fell into a vat of chemicals?
