REALITY 76,691 Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 3 hours ago, jaXXXon said: The thing that was scary about the Joker in The Dark Knight was that we knew nothing of his origin, we didn't know where he came from and who he was. I don't think that can be beat along with Heath Ledger's brilliant performance. However, Joaquin Phoenix is a very talented actor, so I have hopes after watching the trailer that this could become the second best Joker around. Maybe I'll be proven wrong. We'll just have to wait and see if Joaquin can really be as great/if not greater than Heath Ledger. I agree that one of the best things about the Joker was that his backstory/origin was shrouded in mystery, but after seeing this trailer, I think it's brilliant of them to make him seem more sympathetic. The most effective/memorable villains are always the ones you feel for. 𝔊𝔬𝔬𝔡𝔟𝔶𝔢, ℑ'𝔩𝔩 𝔰𝔢𝔢 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔦𝔫 𝔪𝔶 𝔡𝔯𝔢𝔞𝔪𝔰 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuminati Freak 2,432 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 People said Jack Nicholson set the bar way too high when he portrayed the Joker then along came Heath. Just look at it and appreciate each performance on their own merit. I personally loved Jared Leto as the Joker too. There is so many different incarnations and so much room for different stories to tell. the wonderful thing about DC is their Multiverse where different things exist all at the same time in an alternate universe so they can get away with these standalone stories.
