Sorry Heath, you've been bumped.

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2019)

I dislike the DC universe, to be frank. Justice League, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Superman are boring let downs. Chris Nolan's vision of Batman was certainly decent. Heath Ledger's Joker was compelling and certainly a worthy performance. Joaquin Phoenix has redefined this character in a way that will not be touched by anyone for a long time. This movie is a character study beyond words. I loved it. It's just amazing.
I am hopeful that this blueprint will pave the way for more sophisticated adaptations for superhero/antihero movies. It was, at times, heartwrenching and other times downright tense to experience. To the detractors that say that this movie will produce violence....grow up. This is a movie about a VILLAIN. If you didn't assume that violence was a part of the formula, then you are not firing on all cylinders.
Oscar's better be in the forecast.
