Joker not as you know

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2019)

Finally an origin story on DC's and perhaps the most iconic bad guy of the comic universe comes to the big screen. Like the mask on the infamous clown, the movie paints a deep portrayal of a misunderstood individual and society's qualms towards mental health. For decades, the Joker has been the bane to Batman and Gotham City, but here we see that Gotham City failed Arthur Fleck and created the Joker we have grown accustomed too . Joaquin Phoenix's powerful performance no doubt changes the Joker from villain to victim and hopefully one of an Oscar winner.
