Let's look at some math

Rating: 2/10 (12 October 2019)

I understand why people are excited for this film and I'm afraid it's clouded everyone's judgement. There are some insane flaws in this story regardless of it being an original origin story. While trying to pull from such films as King of Comedy, Taxi Driver and Fight Club to attempt at bringing a fresh look at The Joker there is 1 major glowing flaw in everyone face that I have yet to see anyone talk about.
In any origin story you bring to the character the Joker it all leads to the same road, an enemy in Batman. We can all agree on that, without that regardless of origin story you have no Joker character at all.
So explain to me how Arthur being at least 30 and that's being kind because let be honest, he looks no younger than 40 in this film, is going to fight Bruce aka Batman who we see him interact with at the age of at the oldest 12. By the time Bruce would become Batman the Joker will be pushing 65/70.
The film is lost the second we see Arthur and Bruce on screen.
Had this film been a story about a young boy who was troubled and saw Arthur character this inspiring the Joke I would have loved it. Unfortunately it's not and everyone seems excited to see Batman fight a Joker in a wheelchair with this origin story.
Heath will forever own this role and the character should stop there.
