Niners Fan in CT Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Here's something else I found interesting. @The Natural The other day Deadline ran a rough estimate (this was before this weekend's numbers) and they believe Joker will end up being as profitable as Avengers Infinity War and more profitable than nearly every comic book movie ever. Think about that... insane. Link to article: https://deadline.com/2019/10/joker-profit-global-box-office-avengers-1202767490/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I agree with Vile that a sequel should probably fill you with trepidation... a movie they made for (what in modern days passes for) a shoestring budget is about to make a fucking billion dollars... You simply do not let that opportunity pass. That's just the modern studio system, for better or worse. Depending on what happens in The Batman, I could easily see this Joker becoming part of the DC film universe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With other Batman villains being re-relaunched in this proposed sequel, the retcon / merging is already in. I imagine Jared Leto's agent was smart enough to have included a good severance clause in his contract. The question is do you want an actor with as questionable of a work history as Joaquin Phoenix to be the cornerstone of your new franchise? He turns in magnificent performances, but he really does live the life of the tortured artist. I love the fact that money does not really appear to motivate him, but that can problematic for something like this. What happens when Joaquin is no longer feeling the role?

EVA Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Ugh. Adding more villains to the Joker sequel basically means they’d be making an R-rated GOTHAM film series. No thanks. If they’re going to make it at all, it should stay focused on Joker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to make that point although it looks like it will be the mission of the Joker sequel to invalidate / retcon both Gotham and Suicide Squad Joker. Edited October 28, 2019 by J.T.

Niners Fan in CT Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 A sequel would need Batman to play off of I would think... but supposedly Reeves already has a trilogy written up for his Batman. They have time to figure it out maybe they should just be kept separate. DC is doing well with their solo entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterien Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Late to the party on Joker, finally saw it last night. My three sentence review -Phoenix is great in the role, I liked the film, I LOVED the last 30-40 minutes. I honestly think that everything from the fridge scene onwards is some of the best scenes I’ve seen in cinema in a long long time. The uneasiness, the edge you feel watching Arthur delve more into the madness just grips you and when he has that dance on the cop car you can’t help but smile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I was watching the new season of Bojack Horseman this weekend (great stuff!) and there was this quote from Todd: “Assistants are like Deadpool movies! I couldn’t just stop at one, even though I probably should have." Replace Deadpool with Joker, and that's how I feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts now are that I'd be good with just the one Joker movie and Joaquim Phoenix Joker should remain in a vacuum. Then again, I hate the Jared Leto DCEU Joker and hope that Phoenix's Joker will be the standard going forward so why not use a sequel to set the groundwork for the Pattenson Batman joints? Let all DCEU Batman content ride Joker's coat tails to awesomeness. Learn from the success of the MCU. Once you've got something good going, keep doing it and find smart ways to keep from doing it to death. The OST of Deadpool 2 alone justifies its existence. I think I enjoyed it more than the first.

The Natural Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Deadpool 2 disappointed me. I enjoyed Deadpool a lot more, felt it was leaner and funnier. Deadpool made my top 20 comic book movies released in cinemas. I'm not sure if Deadpool 2 would place in a top 40 iteration.

The Natural Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Joker's Academy Award campaign has just begun by Warner Bros: I think Joaquin Phoenix is a lock for a Best Actor nomination. Like to think Joker has a shout for Best Cinematography, Best Original Score and Best Picture nods. If I had to guess, I think it'll miss out on those.

Bustronaut Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I got real bored during DP2, to the point that I actually went to the bathroom during a movie and felt like I didn't miss anything.
