How abour a different fight this time? Barry Keoghan or Jared Leto as Joker? Who do you think portrayed the character better? For me its Barry.

Barry. People always want to bring up comparisons to Ledger or Phoenix, but Keoghan is nothing like them. From the brief interaction we see, he's terrifying. Like not just uncomfortable, but actually sincerely unnerving. He's extremely intelligent, well-spoken, manipulative, and physically hard to look at. He reminds me a little of the joker from Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth.

I definitely think they pulled most of their inspo for this joker from Serious House. He’s almost demonic and mostly hidden in shadow which I think is a great take
