Some interesting things to glean about these images. Seems the Joker - at least this early iteration of him - becomes somewhat of an Occupy Wall Street-esque figure/"hero." That looks to be Thomas Wayne being tackled to the ground and notice the "CLOWN4MAYOR" sign in the background.
Jared Leto is also a good actorMacarthur said:Phoenix is a really good actor so I think it has a very good chance of being great.ChiliBeans said:
I have really mixed feelings about this. Like, it will be great or disastrous, but nothing in between.
The best one-shot. The best.canadiaggie said:Silky Johnston said:
The Joker should not have an origin story.
The Killing Joke is one of the best comic one shots ever.
Only if you consider the Joker to be a hero...Duncan Idaho said:TCTTS said:

Lionizing occupy Wall Street?? Be right back. Gonna get my pitchfork ready.
Sure. Putting him in the same class as Phoenix is absurdPatAg said:Jared Leto is also a good actorMacarthur said:Phoenix is a really good actor so I think it has a very good chance of being great.ChiliBeans said:

How could you view the joker as anything but a hero?

Pretty crazy to think that Sir Ulrich Von Lichtenstein did such an insane job on this role to the point that we think its ruined for an a list actor like Joaquin Phoenix.

Seems pretty similar to the Bane story line from DK.

If you highlight the detective side of Batman, then I think it makes The Penguin and The Riddler much stronger villians. Show The Penguin as the boss at the head of Gotham's crime syndicate, and make the movie more of mafia movie. Don't make him an actual Penguin, or give him a Penguin army. Play him like a mob boss. For The Riddler, I think you could have some great scenes where Batman has to work his way through a guantlet of death traps. Don't just make The Riddler a comic vehicle. Play on his intelligence. You could make a decent horror movie with The Scarecrow as your lead villian.
If you're just going to have Batman punch his way through everything, then it limits your ability to have interesting stories with his villians. However, if you tailor the movie more to the villians style, it would give you a Batman movie that hasn't been done before.
