As a DC fan the current state of their movies has left me pretty down. Yeah I kind of liked BvS and Justice League when they came out but on additional viewings I noticed more and more problems. I'm also one of those weirdos that thought Suicide Squad wasn't as bad as everyone thinks it is and Wonder Woman was great of course. But with the recent announcements of Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill possibly leaving it got me worried about the future of these DC movies. Then they put out an image of Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker from the Joker origin movie a week or two ago and needless to say I was whelmed.
Like the earlier pictures from the upcoming Tom Hardy Venom movie, instead of showing pictures of them in character they just showed pictures of the actors that look like mug shots they attached to their resume. All in all I wasn't too excited for this movie until today when they released a teaser/make-up test showing him looking more like the Joker. And I really didn't know how to feel about it but it did peak my interest.
The make-up looks more like a traditional clown with a bit of Heath Ledger's Joker thrown in, mostly just the hair. I was thinking that this might be what he looked like before he totally became the Joker and that he was some sort of tv/carnival clown instead of being a stand up comedian like he sometimes is in the comics but from what I saw of the set photos I think that this is going to be the Joker design. Which I am actually okay with, especially after seeing the set photos. Overall I think this might be a very interesting direction to go with the movie and I just hope that It's good. Us DC fans need a win. I do have to wonder if this is going to be stand alone though or is this going to take place within the continuity of the current DC movies. It might be a bit weird to see this Joker and Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn together.
