- That's the one thing I find puzzling about this new Joker movie. No Batman? No tie-in to the DC Universe movies? Why a stand-alone movie?
If it's good, I guess I don't mind, just being picky.

- I saw the new Joker movie yesterday. I liked it, but it definitely was NOT a typical comic book movie. Now if only DC and Warner Brothers can make a good Superman or JLA movie like that, everyone will be happy.

- I haven't seen this yet. My one concern is that the movie is rationalizing a psychotic character who has murdered so many people in the Batman stories over the years. And as times have changed, he's become even more cruel and evil.
Why make a movie that paints him in a sympathetic light? At least that's how this movie has looked to me in trailer's etc.
I may be off, but I just don't feel in a rush to see it.

- I understand where you are coming from Drew. All you need to do is look at our movie and TV heroes from the last 20 years or so. Tony Soprano, Jax (of S.O.A. fame), Daenerys Targaryen, Walter White (Breaking Bad), Lucifer Morningstar and Ivar the Boneless. All very popular characters from popular shows and everyone of them are super- individuals. We (by that I mean the public) love seeing rotten individuals doing rotten things. Joker is no worse than anyone from the small list above.

- Haven't seen the movie yet, but looking forward to it. I don't mind that it doesn't tie into the new Bat movie . . . I'm not fond of the casting . . . an ex glittering vampire to play Batman? I'll skip that one, thanks.
