I have been thinking about this for a while to figure out what I think.
After a lot of thought I think it would be a better movie without him being the joker. If you get rid of the comic book ties I think the movie would be better and keep you immersed more.
It’s also little shallow in its treatment of mental illness.
Phoenix was great and I like that the movie was clearly his perspective and using that as an unreliable narrator.
I’m interested in how this affects comic book movies going forward. Will this lead to more character study as comic book movies or less non comic book movies being made?
