Amazing descent into psychological chaos

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2020)

This movie blew me away. I've seen all the Batman movies, Suicide Squad, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc. This IS NOT LIKE THEM.
This is the smartest, psychological deterioration of a character I've ever seen. Within minutes you're feeling for Arthur. His awkwardness, his frailty, his degrading psychosis is amazing.
I've always been a Joaquin fan, but this is a master class on method.
So dark. So brilliant.
Don't expect a DC action movie here, it's not that type of movie. But do expect to think differently about all those villains you've ever seen going up against the caped crusader. You will forget that this is about Gotham City and based on a comic. This could be any city, and based on reality.
