It's not the joker

Rating: 8/10 (6 October 2019)

I think this is a great movie and it shows great character development. But this focuses less on the joker as "the joker" and more on just a crazy psychopath and mental disorders. As always in movies disorders are taken to the extreme and very unrealistic which is fine when it's superhero movies or unnatural movies but this didn't go for that type. There is hardly any reference to bat man what so ever. If you remove the occasional Bruce Wayne on the TV all we have is that one scene outside the cinema. Also They really made the Wayne look like bad people which I don't think was justified. If they did it in a way showing the jokers illusion then fine Wayne family truly did care about the people of Gotham in the dark knight and such. Anyway it's a great movie but I don't see why it was nessecary to name it the joker. This reminded me a lot of V for Vendetta if they put that in the Batman Gotham universe. Again the only thing I don't understand is why is this the joker it's a great standalone movie but it isn't the joker. Anyway I highly recommend this movie it's a great standalone movie but does not really connect to the franchise in a way I wish it did.
