Reply to comment by mistercloob in The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega And Barry Keoghan To Star In New Film From Trey Edward Shults by DemiFiendRSA

dude’s going to explode once his Joker makes a formal Batman debut. His deleted scene was great (I get why it was cut), he looked like character in a gritty David Fincher thriller

I hated the deleted scene lol. The dialogue was poor and his whole performance was just talking slowly. Did not feel like the Joker.

I think I'm just sick of the Joker at this point. It could be the greatest performance ever and I'd still just roll my eyes.

In the past fifteen years we've had TDK joker, Suicide Squad Joker, Solo Joker, and now Irish Joker. Plus if you're into games, Hamil Joker reprised his role. Too many jokers!!!

It's been done every way possible. Joaquin found a new way, but the character has been nailed on several occasions. It's done.

those are very valid points now that I think about it. Like I said, I get why it was cut for reasons beyond runtime. But I do like how it wasn’t another beat-em’-up interrogation or a Gotham City face off. And I did have to watch it with subtitles since it was hard to understand him at parts

Man do I disagree with this statement. Thought that scene was garbage, Keoghan has the same problem as Gerard Butler, he can't completely get rid of his accent.

Possibly earlier. He is in the new WW2 miniseries that Spielberg and Hanks are producing, similar to Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

Its on Apple TV tho and not HBO. Due this spring.

Also featuring the fella who just recieved praise for his performance in the Elvis Bio-flick and other really good young talents.

I disagree. It just felt like an imitation of Heath Ledger with the surface level alteration of "what if I did Heath's joker, but I was a full-blown mental patient?" It was very obvious and cheesy.

I liked pretty much everything about The Batman except for the awful sneak peek of his Joker that they left in the movie at the end. It almost bombed the floor out on my whole experience.

I just want the Joker from the comics. This ain't it.
