Ledger's performance was undoubtedly a bright spot in the overrated DK, but I have hope that this origin story will be badass. Joaquin is an A+ actor and will make Joker probably even creepier than Ledger

interesting point

I think it is certainly a 180 but very difficult and nuanced role

you have to be able to portray complete insanity without coming across as goofy, and there are lots of layers to the insanity. This is why I think an origin story is a great approach, because you'll get to see the actual roots of the mental illness

Phoenix's father, John Lee Bottom, originally from Fontana, California, was a lapsed Catholic of English, German, and French Huguenot ancestry.[8][9][10] His mother, Arlyn (née Dunetz), was born in The Bronx, New York, to Jewish parents whose families were from Hungary and Russia.[

great, another movie for Joaquin phoenix to ruin with his sps over acting. At best, he plays an adequate creepy guy, nothing more. I'd rather dig up Rivers corpse and have him do it (Weekend at Bernies part 3: the Joker). How the holy fuck do you guys actually think this b-lister is good?

Yes I have but we’ll just have to agree to disagree here. I find his acting to be distracting, lacking any subtlty or charm. He is a hammer but a small one that too often misses his mark. This isn’t unique to me plenty of others have called bullshit. He plays the weirdo card irl and that bought him more cred than he ever deserved. His next movie should be called “Lucky”
