This generation's Taxi Driver

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2020)

When DC took a risk on Todd Phillip's R-rated Joker, I don't think they actually knew what they were doing, because if they did, it would have been a much tamer version of what we got. This movie is an unflinching look at the rise and rise of Gotham's psychopathic clown prince of crime, and man does it not flinch. It (narrowly) takes the title from The Dark Knight as the best comic book-based movie ever made.
