Well he does well with Bernthal. But this movie looks like too much fun for a Punisher movie. To be honest, the tone/vibe of Batman V Superman is totally up Punisher's alley. Zach Snyder to direct the next Punisher movie, please. . .Ayer can take over Justice League.
This is the way Joker has always been in the comics. He says and does what he wants, and despite being a regular human, power-wise, is able to psychologically intimidate most other characters. Plus, he's usually got a bunch of henchmen and probably has something tangible to threaten in anyone who he comes in contact with. Plus. . .that Batman picture sums it up pretty well
Kill of Superman? Sure. Joker? No way. Too much money to be made with this guy.
Which trailer did you think was deceptive? I feel I've been able to get a pretty good impression of the final movie based on their trailers for DC stuff, going back to the Burton films anyway (Superman 4's badness could not be reflected in any trailer).
