The Batman Spoiler Discussion Thread

[Luke995]

Boogeyman or just a weirdo showman, I don't really care: just don't make Joker a nihilistic/desperate terrorist again.

Dano's Riddler seems to have similarities with Ledger (but with an idealistic and backstory behind his action), so I think and hope Reeves would go on a different route.

However, no problem in making him scary, but I would see BTAS Joker in live action... Or, to be more specifical: how the character is in Mask of the Phantasm/Return of the Joker.
Scary, disturbing, cruel, but full of black humour.

One of my favourite Mask of the Phantasm moments is when he picks a bologna over a knife to use against Andrea. I like to think he intentionally made that choice just because he thought it would be funny.

 

[Erik Lensherr]

so he's bane

Joker that'll steal your significant other.

The official credits for the film have been released and Barry Keoghan was credited as “Unseen Arkham Prisoner”

so read into that however you will.

[GothamCity]

Joker confirmed.

 

[Boom]

Yep. That's a wrap, folks.

On that subject, someone allegedly saw images of Keoghan's Joker and described him as wearing a white and orange boiler suit. Does anyone recall if this leak came before or after the official trailer was released? Because Riddler's wearing a white and orange boiler suit in Arkham. So either that leaker is legit or he was piggy-backing off the trailer.

Gonna go against the majority here and say that I actually do want Joker to be a nihhlistic terrorist who wants people to see that life is a meanless joke.

I've always felt that interpretation of Joker is the most compelling.

However the key thing for me is that Joker should be hiding that aspect with his showman black humor and insanity.

It's not something that should be obvious it's something that only Batman and the rogue's should really get.

That's how I've always seen Joker.

It's should he hinted at subtle not something that Joker himself should be making clear to everyone he talks to.


Basically the nihhlistic side should be hard to see and something Batman would discover because Joker wants him to see his philosophy.

The boogyeman and showman aspect should be what's seen by the majority of Gotham City and most obviously reflected in Jokers behavior.


They all compliment each other.

No need to only have one aspect.

Just don't make him sympathic.

Credits.

Barry is credited as “Unseen Arkham Prisoner”

 

[Gothamsknight]

Also Paul Dano performing Ave Maria

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Everyone knows that Paul Dano is the songbird of our generation

 

[Captain Tired]

It's no wonder they chose him to play a young Brian Wilson.

...still love this and truly can't fathom its in a Batman film. If you told my middle school dyed blond hair, blasting the With The Lights Out box set, reading Detective Comics self... he would have never believed you.

"Unseen" Arkham Prisoner has a prosthetics designer.

Ahuh.

 

[WayneMB]

joker prosthetics done by Mike Marino. My dreams have come true.

 

[antsman41]

I'm going to the Court House tomorrow to change my name to Unseen Arkham Prisoner.

 

[antsman41]

...also, seeing all of the comic writers/artists being credited in the film's credits is pretty dope.

 

[flygerr5]

I think I figured out who the character “Kenzie” is listed in the credits. He is the corrupt cop that Selina attempts to throw off the roof.

Proof:

 

[AndyTrevino]

AAAAAAA now I NEEEEED to see what his face looks like

 

[Lautox]

why are there two characters with the ending name kenzie?

 

[Razor Crest]

What I find interesting is that we have 2 films now that refer to Arkham as “Arkham State Hospital.”
