It wasn't The Joker but it was a decent movie. Derivative, but decent.

it was good call back to King of Comedy with some DC paint on it

I wish I could show the director my script for the sequel. He's having a hard time thinking of where the story would go, and I have a few unique takes on his relationship with Batman.

He just wasn't The Joker. Good movie, but they didn't even respect the color scheme of the character. Like, look at his jacket, it's just red. Joker's always been a purple chad motherfucker.

Just think of it as another story Joker tells to his Psychologists

It was a good movie but it was not a good superhero or even super villain movie.

I mean say what you will about the bad DC movies we had before it. At least being somewhat knew they were superhero movies they had things like alien technology, power armor, and kryptonite that would’ve made the story very different if they had been completely removed.

Meanwhile if you had taken all of the comic book elements out of joker it wouldn’t be anything but a slightly above average psychological thriller aka Seven.

For the record I felt the exact same way about the Dark Knight. It seems DC can only make good movies when it’s
a) Batman or a Batman adjacent property
b) Completely throws away everything fun from the comic book

Remove one or the other and the movie is almost 100% guaranteed to suck.

I honestly like the red.

It wasn't an adaption and I liked the movie.

As good as any I suppose. The Joker has been through so many different interpretations and had so many different, conflicting backstories at this point that he's more of a theme than a character. It was a good movie so I'm inclined to say he was a good Joker.

Especially now, yes.

I'd say so yes

This, Joker is a mysterious character whose only base is being a criminal showman so yeah it was the Joker if you called the character any other name people would rightfully call it a Joker rip off and if you take off the clown meme then the whole movie premise falls apart since the message was all about a nobody creating a memorable character that the population would pay attention to.

It was a Joker movie.

I mean, he was several dozen global news cycles in the movie. Every psychologist on earth would know and remember this character and this story. Not exactly a backstory you can fake (unless he's just stealing this guy's identity).

It was a good standalone movie. It wasn't quite the criminal of chaos style Joker that's more common but it didn't need to be

I'm willing commend any "new" adaptation of anything. The movie itself didn't rely on previous adaptations of the Joker and instead told a brand new story.

I clapped Unironically at this

They heavely took from Moore Joker tho

The similarities are aesthetic at best. They're down-on-their-luck losers who live in a shitty apartment trying to take care of a woman, but that's about it.

Moore's was a bit of a meek everyman who got in over his head and broken when his downward spiral came crashing to a head when everything fell apart around him in a single day.

This Joker is a deranged product of some abusive co-dependent mother relationship who was already in a lifelong process going crazy before a bunch of people abuse, berate, humiliate, and give up on him.

Going in I was worried about the inevitable blood smile being a gaudy monologue after a gruesome murder, and when he killed the fat man in white facepaint I thought my fears were confirmed.

But this scene was grand, yet intimate. The score absolutely elevated it.

Both share several traits, both develop "a bad day philosophy" and consider Bruce to be like them, both want to be noticed at any cost, both can't remember their own past due to delusions or at least claim to not be able to do, both are complete sociopaths murdering people for no reason, both fall apart after their "family arc" is gone. Comic Joker is clearly the base of this character, specially Moore story, there is countless of killer clowns, several of them are mainstream but this Joker simply couldn't claim to be it's own character when he share so many traits with the comic one.

Sharing traits does not make them the same character. No matter how much aesthetic similarities were ripped from The Killing Joke in order to make comic nerds see it and say "I notice that!", they are foundationally and fundamentally telling two entirely different characters and stories through their characters. Joaquin Joker tells the story of the twisted way society breeds a character like Joker. Moore tells the story of how ambition and desire can twist ones good intentions into becoming something like The Joker.

I teared up when i saw the first trailer for the first time

joker creates batman because he wants an friend but batman will do anything to put joker away

The big thing is that this isn't the Joker from the comics but rather a completely new interpretation which I think works for a world of Batman where "Joker" is multiple people wearing the mask but now they were inspired by one man
It's an interesting look at what happens when society collapses and how violence inspires violence, but this movie wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as it was if it wasn't for Joaquin's performance

Was it really about joker from the comics?

It was a nice whatif/elseworlds take, but I would never want it to be his canon backstory.

They are the base of the character premise rather than aesthetic, and both stories main messages are about how this world and life in general lead people to terrible situations where the mentally ill would be particularly fucked over. The characters are not completely identical that's for sure but no movie version is ever the same as the comics.

Do you really follow joker for the purple huh

Not really, but it was a good movie.

Good, but also overrated? The class stuff was superficial, the mental health stuff was superficial, it lifted almost everything from The King of Comedy, honestly it mostly coasted on Phoenix's performance.
