I meant actors saying they wouldn't play certain roles.
”Definitive” is subjective with art. There is no such thing. Only to that individual. I didn’t argue against it being one of the definitive stories or a classic to people. I argued against it being arguably THE definitive story. How can he be 100 percent correct about something so subjective?You arguing that Killing Joke isn’t one of the definitive Joker stories? What? Dude said it’s arguably the definitive story and he is 100% correct on that.
TKJ movie sucked but the book with the OG colors is an all timer
CLJ is the obvious choice for his age group. I think he should be at the top of Reeves’ list along with Poulter

Seems kinda artsy-fartsy, but the trailer I watched doesn't really give much away.
I'd possibly agree if they didn't lean too much on him being a broken family man. It's a great idea for A character but not the best angle to go with Joker. I want him to be the most frightening guy in the room; you can't exactly accomplish that if you heavily imply he used to be an anxious timid guy who had his wife and child taken away from him.
I still really love the idea of LaKeith Stanfield.
Are you saying that what Andy is proposing for the Joker is obscure or not canon? Joker is rarely sympathetic. He’s usually portrayed like a demon clown in human form. Even some popular comics making him look like he’s not even human.
There are ways to stay true to his character without making him super cartoonish (as cool as that is).I'm saying (as I've said before) that a film version of any character, whether it be from comics or literature, be as true to the source material as possible. I actually don't really care what liberties they take with the appearance (though I would personally love if Bermejo was an influence on the design this time around), but the further away you get from stories like Batman #1, DC#168, Five-Way Revenge, Death in the Family and TKJ, the more likely it is that you end up with another Letoker lmao and nobody wants that.

I feel like a gothic silent horror monster-looking Joker is just niche enough to fit into the vibe Reeves seems to be going for. There's arguably a little less you could do with that in another universe than say, a super vibrant permawhite Joker.Given they used prosthetics on Farrell, I don't think we can rule them out for whoever plays Joker. We could get a monstrous Joker, I guess we'll just have to wait.

That specific design angle is something that could totally be recognizable as The Joker but distinct enough for you to recognize exactly where it comes from. No possibility of confusing it with Leto or Nicholson for instance.

On a more mutual note, I think some heavy Bermejo influence is very likely
But seriously though, intentional or not, Battinson looks a LOT like Bermejo's Batman. So going that route for Joker in terms of wardrobe mainly would be understandable. It's both gothic and modern.If I had a nickel every time I heard someone say that in the summer of '06... lmao
