When this film was first announced, I did not like the idea. To me, one of the most intriguing things about Joker is that he is just Joker. We know who the real names of Riddler, Penguin and most of the other main Gotham Villains, as well as the reasons why they turned to crime. But Joker was always this mysterious character who almost seemed to pop into existence as the Yang to Batman’s Yin. Explaining exactly who he is and why is is the way he is felt like taking something away from Joker.
However, from what I have heard this film is very good, driven much more by a good story and terrific performance than by flashy special effects. I am looking forward to seeing it, and expect it to be a much more complex look into a person’s dark heart than the simplistic ‘bad guy doing bad things’.
I am happy to hear you turned your life around. Your words are very inspiring and a reminder that there is always hope. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Thanks. Yes, for me it's going to be amazing. I've worked with a lot of neglected men in my life, and it always seems like there's nothing for them. This may start a discussion.
