Dunno. Maybe ask Ryan

I lost all my speed dial numbers when I got new cordless phones, and I'm too lazy to go through my stuff and find Ryan's number right now.

I just asked Google.

Ask yourself why you need to be mollycoddled by Hollywood and why you find something like Joker so appalling.

Is it because you, yourself, are The Joker?

Remember Firefly? The very last episode, Objects in Space, has Mal and Inara pleased to leave Jubal Early drifting in space to die by asphyxiation. In the comic books, Jubal came back from the presumed dead to once again try to collect the bounty on River. Kaylee was the next one to try murdering Early, by dropping him along with Serenity's garbage, from a high place. Early was lucky enough to only break bones. Somebody came along to then keep him from death. Firefly wants to kill Early, but also keep Early around for more episodes. Batman does to Joker what Firefly does to Early, except Batman isn't deliberately cruel, by breaking Joker's bones like Early got his bones broken by Kaylee.

I think DC Comics needs to decide one way or the other about Joker living or dying. Likewise, Joss Whedon needs to decide what he wants done to Jubal Early. There is a character that started out evil in the DC Comics, Harley Quinn. She slowly morphed into somebody worth keeping alive. She is neither good nor evil, but she is useful to both the villains and the heroes of DC Comics. And she is worth having a movie about her early life. Her story is much more interesting than Joker's constant evil and illness. Look at her newest comic. It is worth a movie:

Older Harley comics send her on adventures a little too weird to be made into good movies, in my opinion: https://getcomics.info/?s=Harley

Unlike Harley, DC Comics never did anything to redeem the Joker. He is worthless. I think Joker doesn't have enough going for him to make a interesting movie, unless the movie has a Batman around for Joker to bounce off.

The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

Yeah... but nobody cares about your opinion, or of opinions of any of the other people who review the movie without ever having seen it.

Not sure if you heard, but Joker is on its way to making a Billion dollars off of a $55 million dollar budget.

Prepare for A LOT of imitators.

Oh... and by the way...

Harley Quinn was introduced by Batman the Animated Series. She didn't get her start in the comics.

People who don't know anything about comics don't know that, so I figured I'd help you out.

I never claimed to be a comic book guy, which is why I either don't mind what happens to characters in the movies ( as long as it decent material ) if it deviates too much from their origin story, be it comic or animated series.

All I know of Harley Quinn is that I loved her on screen version from Suicide Squad and Kevin Smith named his daughter after the character.

Still, being a Tolkien fan, I " get " why some characters have a canon that should be respected, while others ...maybe not so much.

I liked how Joker's actual origin played out ( or did it ? ) in mov...I mean " film ". It was intriguing , to say the least, with how he and Bruce Wayne had a shared history. Of sorts.

Did you read my theory that Bruce and Arthur actually are brothers?

It may have gotten lost in all of the bullshit. I was hoping somebody would reply to that, but nobody has so far.

Well, I did like how the movie flipped, then flopped on that possible plotline, but then still kinda left it up in the air.

Yeah... Like I said originally it's 50/50.

Did you think of that possibility when you saw it? Like I had mentioned before, it didn't cross my brother or my dad's mind and they actually argued me on it at first until I explained where I was coming from.





I think that would be awesome though, if they continue with this version of the Universe if you find out they actually were brothers, but it would have to be done in a meaningful way. Hopefully Disney doesn't buy DC before then or that's never going to happen.


Honestly, my hope is that DC dumps everything else they were working on, reboots their entire movie franchise and centers it around this movie and style.

It's not too far fetched of a hope, given that the movie is on course to pretty easily make 20 times what it cost to produce. Time will tell.
