WTF JOKER NO
that actually doesn't sound that bad
So let me get this straight.
They went from The Dark Knight Joker, a gun for hire suicidal maniac mastermind who dedicates himself to publicly destroying the humanity of innocents and dragging society into self-serving nihilistic chaos for self serving pleasure and the torment of Batman to:
>poor lonely mentally ill incel has had enough bullying and SNAPS. MOM’S GONNA FREAK
Why?
can't wait to take my girl to see this
Memes shape reality
the theater offers both a form of catharsis and the opportunity to lead the thoughts of the public
THat's a different joker, obviously. Bruce is a kid when his parents are killed, thus this joker inspires the joker Batman faces.
Oh nononon hahahaha
So the leak about Arthur dies in the end and inspires another guy to be The Joker (Batman's villain) is fake then.
So is this actually an unofficial origin story for Heath ledger's Joker? With Joachim paying his late friend homage? Heath's Joker is the only Joker with a Glasgow smile, plus Joachim's Joker "final costume" is very similar to the Heath version as well.
Not necessarily, this joker could inspire the joker batman fights. Even if arthur doesn't die
so he's a communist incel, sounds absolutely based and kino
Sounds like DC kino
Joker was never really a terrorist. What the angle Nolan went for in his movie.
Whether Arthur inspires the Joker batman faces, or Arthur IS the joker he eventually fights, its going to be fucking kino either way.
That's a legitimately great plot. It's the first time that Wayne's parents getting murdered makes sense. When was the last time you saw rich people walk through a high crime area or get killed? Never outside of mob hits or government assassinations which is what the comics currently say happened.
A riot against the rich is a perfect concept. My only gripe about this movie is that it should have taken place in the early 90s instead of early 80s.
Heaths joker would have to be like 70 years old
This
Baneposting literally killed a planefull of people
I like how they had so much freedom to mess around with the character because he's not Batman's Joker.
>INCEL JOKER
WHY IF IT ISNT SINGLE MOTHER ROASTY, WHO SOMETIMES SAYS HELLO TO ME, MY ARCHNEMESIS
I always wanted Bruce to find out that his father was a crooked piece of shit. Maybe make the Penguin one of his former goons that eventually raised in power to make the Penguin finally shine somehow.
>I always wanted Bruce to find out that his father was a crooked piece of shit.
They already did that.
That sounds really interesting.
WHAT THE FUCK IS A
>JOKER BATMAN FACES
A JOKER WITH BATMANS COWL?
A JOKER IN BATMAN MAKEUP??
please i dont understand
and everyone keeps writing that
Not him, but when?
I love how there's such a stigma towards single moms but single dads get all kinds of praise just for not abandoning their children.
Makes me glad my sister died of dabetus and left his son under my care.
This, kinda
Fucking...WHAT?! Single moms are constantly praised for being superheroes, wtf are you on about?
It's actually not shitty enough though. I want her to work at a doughnut shop or something.
I mean in a movie. Unless my memory is foggy and they already did that.
That's because single moms are nearly universally cunts who stole a man's child and used the government to forcibly extract money from him.
A single father is nearly universally a widower.
incelkino
The Joker that is the villain of Batman a.k.a adult Bruce Wayne.
Bruce is still a kid in this movie.
No one fucking likes Penguin.
Kingpin is everything Penguin wishes he was.
>Arthur develops a crush on his neighbor Zazie Beetz, a single mom who works at a bank, and begins stalking her. She treats him well out of pity, which he misconstructs as genuine affection.
ONE OF US.
Telltale game. It's the overall plot. The Waynes were in bed with the mob.
i actually love it, sounds kino
>not dating single moms just to get dem lonely shotas
Sounds kino, seriously.
Loli>shota
>shotas not lolis
I'm not gay
Ok, it will be kino.
>When was the last time you saw rich people walk through a high crime area or get killed?
The Waynes believed in the good of the people of Gotham against the advice of Alfred and their security detail.
Many ancient greeks liked shotas and they were manly men who would post in /fit/ if they were alive today.
How would you guys feel about an Alfred prequel movie?
He's already getting a prequel series.
Greeks were gay chads who believed true love could only exist between 2 men. Fema!es were only for producing children.
>Greeks were gay chads who believed true love could only exist between 2 men. Fema!es were only for producing children.
Sounds pretty reasonable. Maybe we should go back to this thinking and take away sexual power from the childish women.
I agree the pussy market is incredibly overvalued, the day a alternative comes around there’s going to be a recession.
>this post
holy kek
Ok? I mean I know lots of rich people like that and it can work for them because all the places they go are crime free. Like even during the worst days of NYC, Broadway never had criminals around during the big plays. And during operas the police made sure they weren't around.
But if it's like a riot it's sort of different like if they were caught in the wrong place at the wrong time then it works.
>t. greek or italian homosexual
It's an origin story for him.
His original one had him as a shitty broke comedian who was forced to be in a robbery by niggers
Sounds pretty based desu.
Idk
Memes I guess
Just be happy he’s not a gamer
Can’t be worse than Jared leto’s joker
they are not connected man, but the inspiration is clearly there
sounds like a hardwatch almost like David Cronenberg´s Spider which is very bleak
>everyone needs a prequel even the butler
Jesus Christ what a society
Were called RedCels thank you very much
This, the other joker will be macaulay culkin
His backstory is pretty cool tho
>still watches dragonball
weeb opinions belong in the trash
my lads i think you just created kino
>MUH BILLIONAIRE DINDU NUFFIN!
eAT THE RICH
Everyone knows what it's going to be: The King of Comedy, but with clown makeup. The question ATM is not about surprise or "spoilers" but execution.
had me until the stalking park
His real name isn't Jack Napier? That sucks. Also I'm not going to see this movie because I refuse to go see a Joker movie without Batman in it. Because without Batman all I'm watching is 'Edgelord' the movie.
So how does Bruce Wayne transform to Batman quick enough to battle him in the third act??
welcome to the 4chins
kill yourself
>Why?
Because DC has no goddamn Idea what to do. Marvel beat them to death, wizzed on their corpse, and they dug their own grave by making bomb after bomb after bomb. This is a good as it's gonna get unless the studio and the brand crashes and burns so hard they sell it to Disney.
quality lifelike sexbots are just around the corner
Probably gonna be shit tier, anything after Nolan is gonna be tough to top.
They could do a silly zaney one like Jim Carry Riddler
way better than any of Marvel characters.
i doubt it. actual AI is still ways off and animatronics are even less sophisticated
Yeah Marvel is total shit. Only iron Man 1 and the Thor movies I liked.
This whole movie is an homage to King of Comedy, a movie where Deniro plays an unstable stand up comic who kidnaps a tv host he’s obsessed with. The fact that deniro is in this movie just highlights that all the more.
This is a pretty amazing fake, OP should be a writer
Shit user, I should have read through the bread before posting. Yeah, this is basically a ripoff of KoC, just not funny. Or clever. Or even as dark.
FUCK _______
looks influenced by James Ensor and the Ashcan School painters.
That looks better than it has any right to
Nah. It's legit. He got it wrong though, this part takes place at a playground.
>AI
You don't really need your cumdump to be orders of magnitude smarter than you. I said sexbots not whatever you have in mind.
Confirmed kino. Can't wait to see it
you do want your fuckslut to pass though, don't you? if you tell her to bend over and she goes *please repeat command* why not just stick it in a fleshlight?
unironically the best origin story I've heard.
Checked these truth quads
Why not stick the fleshlight IN your sexbot and learn to properly input commands instead? After all learning is half the fun
we truly ive in a society
God this is just justifying white male unwarranted rage and violence and glorifying it.
Can we just stop?
literally /ourguy/ the motion picture
can't wait
>legitimately great plot
no it's not
>Wayne's parents getting murdered makes sense
this is true, and I like the riot idea
>I always wanted Bruce to find out his father was a crooked piece of shit
Christ, what'd he ever do to you?
RISE UP!
Joker was sort of a terrorist in the Nolan movie do yeah joker is a terrorist...
Jack was the classic, slick mobster.
Why isn't the Penguin more popular?
No one is Devito
the teen titans go movie actually has a good bit about this. youtube.com
Actual Joakino once again.
>mom actually freaked
Pottery
Why does Joaquin always chooses roles like that? When is he gonna play some charismatic playboy criminal like DiCaprio always playing?
I feel like I've seen this exact story somewhere before
So how many theater shootings will you amerimutts manage to pull out of this one?
guaranteed kino, movie of the century incoming.
It's all a reference to the King of Comedy even more than I thought
So it's like a spinoff of the king of comedy
So is Joaquin gonna top his performance in The Master with this? I have that feeling
So if Bruce Wayne is just a kid then Joker must be like 70 when he meets him
No, reality shapes memes.
>socially awkward introvert with nervous laugh
>gets a job as a stand-up comedian
Immersion cancelled
worked in KoC
user has daddy issues and projects them on to Batman’s dad bc user is a giant faggot, and possibly a nigger
Sounds pretty good.
1 was lazy and derivative. Three was an utter fucking mess. 2 was mediocre with a heavy reliance on some pretty tedious cod psychology and teenage philosophy.
Nolan is vastly overrated.
IRL clown uprising when?
>A single father is nearly universally a widower.
What, you didn't have an abusive alcoholic mom who abandoned her kids so she could suck dicks and get drunk? It isn't just widowers and I'm glad to not have fetal alcohol syndrome or something even worse due to mom's shitty habits. Inherited the alcoholism though.
Kek
If true, these plot leaks are pretty damn based.
I like the idea of the Joker being someone who gets are the shitty aspects of modern life then finally snaps. It could be ankino reflection on how terrible modern society can be.
Christ I saw this movie 40 years ago when it was called The King of Comedy and directed by Scorcese, why are we wasting our time with this clearly inferior shit
People evolve.
Sounds like legit kino.
Could the current clown world meme have secretly been viral marketing?
So who is the equivalent to that crazy girl obsessed with Jerry Lewis?
>Gets cucked, molested by his dad, gaslighted, publicly humiliated on live tv, etc.
Boys, it's time to break out the JUST fuck my shit up pics again
>1960s: Joker falls into a vat of acid
>2020: Joker falls into society
WOAH
>I saw this movie 40 years ago
Christ why aren't you dead grandpa? Or at least doing something better in your old age
>Arthur Fleck
>Art Fleck
>A. Fleck
What did they mean by this?
Motherfucking Jason Flemyng.
Is he...is he doing a Michael Kane impression?
Wasn't the Broadway area in NYC full of prostitutes and junkies in the 70s? Not unlikely that some rich couple would fall victim of crime while leaving the theatre and walking to their parked car on a side street.
I think that's Zero Year. Alfred ends up shotgunning the Penguin.
kino
Sounds good and I'm a little upset for spoiling myself
Are you retarded?
Only strange or maybe incongruous thing is why his terrible set was recorded in the first place?
For the memes
