Joker-best DC movie since The Dark Knight

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2019)

Since I've heard about the rumors about a Joker origin movie being made up to the point where I've heard that Todd Phillips film Joker has won The Golden Lion Award at TIFF and in doing so it has become the first comic book/superhero movie that won the big award at TIFF,I knew that,as a huge fan of the character, I had to see Joker in theater.
By the way Joaquin Phoenix portrayal of The Joker is beyond breathtaking and without him,this film wouldn't have won The Golden Lion at TIFF and it wouldn't have been received by both critics and fans of the characters as a masterpiece/amazing movie.
For me,Heath Ledger will be my favorite live action version of the comic book character but Phoenix really adds a big plus to the comic book character history and personality as well as making us feeling sorry for The Clown Prince of Crime and not to sympathize or to condone what Arthur Fleck/Joker does to people like Murray Franklin and Thomas Wayne but to understand why he does it and unlike Arthur/Joker,both of them don't give a damn about the people like him ,the people who are poor and have serious medical problems.
I really loved all the scenes from Todd Phillips movie and if I would have to pick 4 favorite scenes from the movie than those would be:the subway scene where Arthur Fleck kills those 3 guys who worked for Thomas Wayne because they bullied Arthur,the stairway dance scene,the hole talk show scene where Arthur kills Murray and the final scene where Arthur is in Arkham Asylum and starts laughing and after a few seconds we see a flashback with the youg Bruce Wayne being alone in a dark alley and in front of him are his parents who are dead and after that a woman who is in there with Arthur and it's his psychologist ask Arthur to tell her the joke that Arthur laughed and Arthur says " You wouldn't understant it".
That final scene is verry similar to the end from Alan Moore comic book Batman The Killing Joke where Joker starts telling Batman a joke that only the two of them would understant it.
I really loved Joaquin Phoenix in this movie and he should really win The Best Actor Award at the Oscar Ceremony.
The same thing goes for Todd Phillips as well,he should win at least one of these 3 Oscar Awards(Best Picture,Best Director,Best Original Screenplay) and Hildur Guðnadóttir should win the Oscar for Best Original Score because without her,both Joker and Chernobyl wouldn't have been complete.
Honestly,I don't know if Joker will have a sequel or not,Todd Phillips has said that this movie is a standalone DC film and that right now he doesn't have in mind a sequel for the film but if Joaquin Phoenix would want to do a sequel with him and if Warner Bros will ask him if he can do a sequel,than he might do it.
I personally prefer for Joker to not have a sequel because it might ruin the well received love/praise for this film.
Overall,Todd Phillips movie Joker is not just a great character study film but it is the 2nd if not the best DC movie ever and none of this would have been possible without Joaquin Phoenix performance as The Joker.
