If you have mental illness, you are expected to behave as if you dont.

Rating: 9/10 (9 February 2020)

A credit to the writers and to Joachim (always been a favorite actor) for telling a story of a tortured soul who has struggled with being abandoned all his life, a mental illness from a head injury as an abused child, ridiculed for his illness- he just cannot get a break. Its heartbreaking.
From here, the story sets up for 'the joker' as he becomes a dangerous murderer, but although the character says he has no political agenda, an anarchist mob wants him to have one. That agenda is simplistic and stupid - an attack on the rich- something never explained in modern times (rather hard to do in a nation of equal opportunity and social supports for those who need it). That's the Marvel comic part of it.
Its the clever study of mental suffering that is the heart of the story. Joachim nailed it.
