I know... at least, that's what was promised. I hope they rethink that.
Maybe he could just be a wannabe that gets raped and then dies.

K, I need to see a full photoshopped mock up of this guy as Joker now.
Start buzzing in that BodsLogic guy’s ear and it’ll be online for the masses to drool over by tomorrow.
Someone needs to make a mock-up poster for The Batman 2 with that as the Joker... I bet it would take off and go viral.
Fast! Before they make the movie. Oh wait... its The Batman... the studio fully expects to reshoot most of the movie again.

joker within phillip's universe has always been based around a symbol, it really felt implied in the first movie with how he never made his motives political. he just killed bad people who he deemed deserved it and it just happens they were rich
and it fueled the "eat the rich" movement

That guy Diostar posted has a good look.
I just want a funny but creepy Joker again, with chattering teeth and laughing gas. No overdone scars and facepaint. It’s insane that Warner Bros. is allergic to that - every iteration feels more “tryhard” than the last - until Joaquin (who is the sole saving grace of that first movie), but then they ****ed him.
I remember reading a Batman comic years ago that followed a victim of Joker’s laughing gas who had somehow survived, but his face was permanently stuck in a hideous, stretched grin - the art style was pretty eerie too. Joker was totally true to the character, but you really felt how monstrous his actions are. I don’t remember the issue, but it might’ve been a standalone Joker comic.
They can totally make a Joker that’s accurate, funny, and scary. Just take what made Nicholson and Romero great and make it more… today.
I liked The Batman, but I don’t care to see Matt Reeves’ weird Alfred E. Neuman after sloppily eating spaghetti take on Joker. Dude’s laugh was even outshined by Paul Dano’s in the ending Arkham scene. Weak.

Could not agree more.
It's really not that bad, but I can see how people expecting to see a sequel to the first would hate this.

I heard the acting is actually quite good, but the story just isn't what people would've wanted for this sequel. Having read the ending I can completely understand the backlash lol.

Me first man, but I can see through my disappointment and actually enjoy the movie itself for what it is, i'm not blinded by it.
Like I did for the first one ! (I never felt like I really saw "The Joker" in the movie and that's why I went to see it in the first place...)
The movie wasn't made for me and me only, it says something and it does it pretty well in my opinion.
Actually the reaction is the best proof that it works when you think about it.
Everyone is so focused on "The Joker" that they completely forget how beautiful the movie is in terms of cinematography... They really did a fantastic job.
I understand that the outcome or some of the creative choices are disliked and that's okay, you're allowed to dislike the movie or even hate it if that's your thing...
But I will not accept bad faith, and a lot of it right now is.
I read the ending before watching it. And honestly, the ending sounds a lot worse than it is actually on-screen. The direction here is not what people are going to expect with the reception of the first one, which is also a big reason why there is a such a huge outrage on this movie as of right now. I said it before, but as a movie on its own. It's a fine and even fun one at times, as a sequel to 2019 Joker...it can be a terrible one, but that depends on your perspective and what u got out of the first movie.
I couldn't agree more, you said it much better than I could. If we stop and think about it the outrage and hate that his movie is getting lines up perfectly with the context of the film...which in a way is kinna funnyMe first man, but I can see through my disappointment and actually enjoy the movie itself for what it is, i'm not blinded by it.

Well guess owning a Joaquin Joker is off the table regardless if it's inart or HT. Thanks to Hollyweird for ruining another film. And I agree I want an accurate comic Joker done already, Willem defoe would have made an amazing Joker when he was a bit younger.

I’d put the Back to the Future Trilogy in the threefer category. All solid films in my opinion.
Joker 2 is an interesting way to take the story, defying expectations to push Arthur further down the road of becoming the clown prince of crime but instead reverting him back to the cowering, broken sad sack we first meet. It’s just not the direction Joker’s fanbase, or the movie’s fanbase, would like to see, which is a fascinating choice for a media product that ostensibly wants to entertain and make money.
I didn’t hate the sequel but did it make Joaquin’s Joker even less like the comic book character and lessen the desire to purchase pricey collectibles of? I’d have to say yes.

Yuck, I wouldn't. I hated BTTF 3.
