1 glaring flaw makes it hard to recommend, overrated.

Rating: 5/10 (4 November 2019)

One big flaw occurred to me actually even before i saw the movie, but it became glaring when i watched it. Joaquin Phoenix is 44. Let's assume his character is the same age since his exact age is never stated in the film. Bruce Wayne is shown to be a young boy as well. The murder of his parents is shown yet again. It's generally assumed that Bruce was around 10 this event happened, so, assuming he first becomes Batman at age 29 that means Phoenix's character, Arthur Fleck, would be in his 60s. It's simply not believable that a man in his 60's would be able to hold his own physically against a man 30 years his junior even assuming he kept his body in shape. No one else has even mentioned this, but it's so obvious that, for me at least, it makes it hard to recommend, despite the excellent acting and production values. I don't understand why it's rated so high.
