If anything, 2019 has turned out to be a great year for comic book movies. Already, audiences have been dazzled by the likes of Captain Marvel, Shazam! and Avengers: Endgame, with Spider-Man: Far From Home looking to impress in a matter of weeks. And before long, we’ll journey into madness when Joker storms cinemas this fall.
The important thing to note going into this one is not to expect your usual superhero fare. In fact, the first reaction to the flick described it as being “a series of punches to the gut.” Anyone who’s followed the production knew director Todd Phillips was going for something different, so that’s hardly cause for concern. After all, you’re not supposed to root for the Clown Prince of Crime.
Continuing on that note, it’s become very apparent that Joaquin Phoenix’s iteration of the character won’t simply endure “one bad day.
