Some how I think those costumes are going to be banned in a great many places.

 

[TMP98]

These covers are fire

 

[Gothamsknight]

They're both so damn awesome

 

[I Am The Knight]

Some how I think those costumes are going to be banned in a great many places.

Uh why?

 

[JimThompson]

Uh why?

Because I think they will be associated by some with unacceptable violence and claims will be made they trigger people.

**** that.

Might as well get "triggered " over the character himself then

****ing stupid....

I agree...but that does not mean it could not happen in today's world.

 

[StarLord]

What exactly is there to be triggered about? We haven't seen the character lift a finger, shoot a gun or inflict any kind of violence on anyone yet.

LMAO at the EMPIRE tweet and all the Snyderbrehs replying.

They are the absolute worst.

 

[Micromind]

Lol @ Empire describing it as "Subversive", how exactly, is Joker in DC Comics subversive ?

This is not a Rian Johnson movie.

 

[Micromind]

Reminds me of this

(Maybe it's inspired by this ?)

Yeah, I'm not really sure what it's subversive to? It's not subversive to the genre of comic book movies, since it's barely even a comic book movie. I guess maybe it's subversive in that it's a denouncement on sad, lonely men instead of a celebration of them?

That's a great fan art piece lol

Are there even a lot of movies that celebrate lonely people?

Yeah, but they're obviously aware that it's based on a DC Comics Joker property and not some indie "art-house" movie. (Though it is close to it.)

I guess if you were expecting this Joker movie to be empowering to... angry incels, then your expectations will be subverted!

 

[Orb]

Its subversion in a sense its not your typical commercial film and that fact it reinvents the character

 

[Micromind]

I guess if you were expecting this Joker movie to be empowering to... angry incels, then your expectations will be subverted!

Except it may still end up empowering them, double subversion !

 

[TMP98]

Ok... I can't tell if that's fan-art the guy posted thinking it was an Empire spread, or if it's an actual spread that just photoshopped this image for some reason

Or gamers.
