The scenes to Joker look very good. Joaquin Phoenix is a masterful monster. Whether they be real or imagined. His unstable portrayal of Commodus in Gladiator is chilling and frightening. And I think he's going to be perfect for this part.
....what bits and pieces I've managed to glom onto have been damn great.....nobody will touch Heath, but Joaquin will OWN this portrayal.....

I'm not so sure about that. I think Heath did a fantastic job with his vision but I think Joaquin will equal it with his. Heath was sort of an unlikely Joker who showed his acting range. Joaquin is a little more to Joker type and not that far from crazy.

Of course, I dont' know this till I see it. Heath proved himself. Joaquin needs to step up and do the same. I hope he does.

....I think we're comparing pears and partridges here, Heath killed it within the framework of an established character....Phoenix will rule as the genesis of a comic legend.....

Having his older brother River Phoenix die in his arms on the sidewalk outside of The Viper Room has, I believe, really messed up Joaquin's head and enables him to go where other actors wouldn't dare. I can't imagine going through what he went through. He certainly gave a chilling performance in Gladiator.

Joker looks like it might be good, the only live action DC film to come out in this decade that I enjoyed was Wonder Woman. I don't think they'll ever have another masterpiece like The Dark Knight though.

Absolutely. Something like that changes a person's very core. And I think he uses those feelings to be a terrific actor.

They should do a Batman movie from the viewpoint of Bruce Wayne's psychiatrist where we find out that all the Batman cannon is in Bruce's head. Because Bruce is nuts. He dresses up like a bat to go out and carry out vigilante justice for cryin' out loud.......

the real question is who supplies Joker with all his makeup
