The Joker was one of the most anticipated films of 2019, and the buzz is immense, in many ways justified and problematic. Somehow, within a week of its release, it has become the film most reviled and defended by critics, fans, critics, and even members of its own cast and crew. The film itself was released in cinemas, and it was a debate that overwhelmed it to a large extent, but in a way that makes the Joker justified, if problematic.
I have yet to see it, but I really do assure you that The Joker is not a superhero movie and you can love or hate it as much or as little as you want. I'd say he's not the villain of the film, and there's no reason why Phoenix's elaborate back stories are any of those things. The Joker was a mediocre film, his own critics said it shouldn't have been, it wasn't.The making of The Joker is decidedly mature and uncartoonish compared to Tim Burton's Batman, who fell into a chemical vat and became one of the most iconic villains in comic book history. Burton has inserted the Joker into Batman's background, making him the villain of his own origin story. However, Joaquin Phoenix has expressed interest in a sequel, saying Arthur has actually become Bruce Wayne, who he would play Batman. After Joker was announced as a stand-alone story, Todd Phillips mused in an interview that Joker might not be Arthur Fleck opposite Batman, who has speculated that he was inspired by the man who became Joker, Jerome Valeska. Author Oliver Willis tweeted: 'Joker without Batman seems bad, you don't need to know his back story, it's unnecessary. No reason to guess the piece from the 1970s, but he's still the joker, no reason not to.
If you want to make a movie about how the Joker is a dark mirror of Batman, make the movie. If you generate sympathy for his character, do so in the form of a character study, not a story about his back story or past.Given that the Joker came of age in 1988, his timeline is the same as that of Dark Knight and Suicide Squad. This means that we will never see the Phoenix Joker of the film appear, but if there is indeed a story for him to make, he will have to be smarter than anything we # see. The trailer makes one thing clear: Arthur Fleck inevitably goes mad and becomes the joker who brings a new kind of madness to his Gotham City. On the set of Joker's Transformation, we see a normal citizen named ArthurFleck, but nothing screams "Joker" more than his creepy, sneaky smile. Once he's a joker, he'll know he's a failed stand-up comedian who's been disrespected by society. The Joker first appeared in the first edition of the Batman comics, and he did so by a mass murder attempt. The second joker replaced Joe Chill, but there were two versions of him, the second being the Joker from the 1989 movie and the third being Batman v Superman. The murder joke, written by Alan Moore and drawn by Brian Bolland, explores the psyche and depravity of the Joker, who psychologically torments Batman, Gordon and Gordon's father to the limit of his ability. Today, Joker broke into Arkham Asylum and tortured Commissioner Gordon to prove that even noble people can be driven to evil and madness as he is. In a plot inspired largely by Killing Joke and Flashpoint, Joker is a submissive character living under extremely difficult conditions. There were a few joker personifications, so there are fewer of them than in the "Killing Jokes" and "Flashpoint" stories. Todd Phillips' Joker, co-written by Scott Silver, has nothing to do with superheroes, unlike the other films set in Gotham City. Nevertheless, the evil character in the film becomes the avatar of vigilant justice. In combination, Phoenix shows that the Joker understands and respects the original design of the character. The last scene reminds us that we cannot trust him if we assume Arthur is a mentally ill patient obsessed with murderous clowns, unlike in the Batman stories, where he postulates what is already there. Despite the flaws in the story and the lack of a strong plot, the line between hero and villain is remarkably narrow, and this has its roots in Batman's story, where Joker posited that there was already a villain in Gotham City. Blaming the Joker for Batman is enough to turn the entire myth upside down and give the famous character a complete reboot. The Joker film bears little resemblance to what it has consistently been portrayed over the past 80 years. For all we can make ourselves believe, Joker is a rogue who makes us optimistic. This is a whole new aesthetic, unlike any rendition of the villain you might have seen at a past Halloween party.
