Interesting movie, bad portrayal of the joker

Rating: 5/10 (12 January 2020)

The joker is an enigma that started 60+ years ago. When you try to adjust or add to it you are most likely going to fail. The joker was always a cartoon mafioso, the purple outfit, green hair and face paint as the cartoon aspects, where as the suit or tuxedo, guns, explosives and the lackeys are the mafioso aspects. To reduce the character to a person with psychiatric and possible intellectual disabilities diminishes the complexity and fun of the character that is the joker.
Bottom line: If you're looking for a movie about a charter that has a break with reality and the following consequences it's good, if you're looking for a movie that follows the 60+ year history of the joker character in DC comics it fails.
