Good.
I actually think DC would be better served by just doing that really. Just make separate films like they used to.
Copying Marvel isn't working anyway.
It feels like you're coming in here to aggressively stake your claim that you don't take super hero/villain movies as seriously as other people do.
Which is weird.
Superhero movies have taken over the film world, of course they're going to keep getting darker, grittier, deeper, more serious, etc. I personally love it!
So in your opinion a movie can't stand on it's own then, correct?If they kill this Joker off? Then yes it's a waste of time, at least for me.
Fantasy is/can be silly too, doesn't mean every fantasy story/movie/show has to be an over-the-top D&D-style hero's journey adventure. Superhero stories can be as horrific as Animal Man, noirish and psychological as Moon Knight, earnest as Superman, pulpy as Batman. Not all stories have to embrace the sillinessNaw, I really like a lot of super hero movies, but if you don't think there's a level of silliness to a billionaire dressing up as a bat and punching a psychotic clown, I don't know what to tell you. Silliness isn't a bad thing, and is inherent in the vast majority of super hero comics, which is why I find it weird that people get so excited when it's absent in the film adaptations.
He's hit or miss, but like you pointed out, other comic book movie directors have had spotty track records as well and made great films.This is Todd Phillips first CBM and first serious drama directed movie

You are missing a few there.
Starsky and Hutch 62
Old School 60
Road Trip 57
And he was a writer on Borat.
A movie can stand on its own, but this much build up of an iconic character just to kill him off is something I personally don't want to get attached to.So in your opinion a movie can't stand on it's own then, correct?

They are, comedy rarely reviews wellmaybe they don't hold up, but i thought Road Trip and Old School were pretty fabulous.
Lol thanks for the warning, I won't. I'm very fragile :P
Don't "please" me. Your take isn't THE take. What I said is perfectly reasonable approach to this and is based on an analysis of the character as a whole. You and others criticising this have no clue what they're going to do with this story but yet you're coming at it as if it's already a problem.Please.
THis has never happened ever, every time you give a backstory to a well known charterer that character is ruined. It's not evil anymore, it's just another victim.
Rubbish
Oh yeah, perfectly reasonable, because we have so many examples of movie characters improved by that point of view, isn't it? It's not like your approach has been done thousands of time and it has always had result from mediocre to rubbish.Don't "please" me. Your take isn't THE take.

A lot of this movie feels like a passion project of his as well from what I've read (him doing a Taxi Driver styled film in lieu of a remake).
People love him because he's easy to categorise. Simplistically evil. He's the unrestrained force of nature people wish they could be, which is why he's ALREADY loved and admired by many as a character.Oh yeah, perfectly reasonable, because we have so many examples of movie characters improved by that point of view, isn't it?

Let me complete the sentence, Please stop pushing a banal and lame approach that almost never worked pretending it to be somewhat deep

It's not getting excited by the absence. It's being excited by the different approach. I love Logan but I'd like a comic-accurate X-Men movie too. Gotham and Tim Burton's super-stylized gothic-art-deco approach are just as valid as Nolan's grounded Batman
If this is a great performance I'm not going back to watching Leto Joker movies.

The Russo's career pre-MCU was far more impressive than Todd Phillips'. Yes, the Russo's didn't have the most impressive movie track record, but their tv stuff was very well received. I mean, they were one of the parties behind the start of what is considered by many to be one of the best comedy shows of all time (Arrested Development). And of course they were one of the main creative forces behind Community, a show that is also loved by many and a critical darling.This is Todd Phillips first CBM and first serious drama directed movie

I don't think that's confirmed it's BruceWhy is Joker putting a smile on Bruce Wayne's face? Bruce seems rather young with a 40 something joker. By the time Batman is in his mid 20s, Joker would be 60ish. Weird.
If they kill this Joker off? Then yes it's a waste of time, at least for me.
Good. People are too focused on franchising anyway. Just let this be a stand-alone single movie and leave it at that.Got some bad news for you. Phoenix only signed on to this movie on the condition there wouldn't be any sequels. You're not seeing this Joker beyond this one movie.

This looks terrible. It reeks of 'Oscar bait' from the trailer. It's also one of the most unnecessary films of all time - I don't want or need to know the Joker became a psychotic killer because his mum was ill and he was bullied at work. It ruins the character and reduces everything about him.
This is not the same Joker as those other Jokers though. This ain't the backstory of Heath Ledger's, Jack Nicholson's or Mark Hamill's Joker, this is something completely different and you will probably never see this same Joker in anything ever again after the movie. So I'm not sure how this "ruins the character and reduces everything about him".This looks terrible. It reeks of 'Oscar bait' from the trailer.

If some mild criticism of an trailer gets these shitty post I can't wait for the reviews.Fo, real.
The one thing I hate about "woke" Twitter is the endless need to find someway to shit on everything in the hopes of your tweet going viral. You're not clever, just stop and enjoy shit.
