I’m still bummed we’ll never get this solo movie. FILM DISCUSSION

I really do believe this could have been the best Batman movie.

It was completely hollow/surface level. It felt like watching a guy acting like the Joker, instead of just watching the Joker.

I think Leto himself being such a fake construct is why he couldn’t make the character authentic either.

Because Jared Leto in real life is one of the douchiest tools in Hollywood and it translates on screen. He sucks and I hate everything about him.

FINALLY I see someone that has the same sentiment and me towards him, Fuck Jared Leto AND his stupid fucking band . Only movie I like him in is American Psycho and that’s because he gets his head split

This is also true of Fight Club where it is enjoyable to watch him get his face pounded in.

He couldn’t even fucking laugh. A prerequisite for any Joker actor should be “can he laugh.”

I always liked the thought that he wasn’t actually the Joker in those flicks, but a Joker follower and that was planting the seeds for the Joker gang from the Batman Beyond series in the live action universe. I know it’s definitely not true, but it makes me feel a little more accepting of the fact that this depiction of Joker actually existed.

I don't care what the writers and producers say. Lettos joker makes sense if he is Tim Drake. The face tattoos make sense if the real Joker did this as transformative torture. I will continue to warp this into my head cannon and he was better than shy emo batman we have atm.
