I like the idea it's a flashback... although it doesn't really work because he would never have been released.

Oh, I didn't realise that.
It’s implied yes, with the blood on his feet. But Joker being the unreliable narrator that he is, it’s left open to interpretation.

That and the fact that Arkam looks different to how it did earlier in the film.
Do you think it was a deliberate choice to have music from a kiddy fiddler?

Hard to say.
I don't think so honestly, it's a classic 'walk out' tune, but who can be 100% sure?

The song itself matched the scene pretty damn well. I must say though I would’ve preferred if was something else instead, pretty unsavoury given what we now know of Glitter.

this is todd phillips we're talking about.
he has a fondness for unsavory people, controversial figures.
he filmed the GG Allin documentary Hated in the Nation, for instance.
despite that tho, Gary Glitter's song is one of the all-time greats.
i think it's Phillips being controversial....as the whole Joker film is all about unsavory sides of humans.

Glitter no longer gets royalties anyway as he sold the rights.

Ah okay then I was mistaken, I thought I heard his production company still received revenue from this. That was my main problem with it - potentially supporting a known criminal.
Anyway, all good then. That song is damn catchy and great usage in US sports etc.
I like it.

Huge.
Keen to see The Joker evolve. Would be stoked if the other villain story was either Deathstroke or Lex Luthor

it'll get too cookie cutter if too many villains are given the phillips touch. it was smart of them to give him just one or two. wait and see approach.

I'm interested in the D.C. Black stuff they are going to do but yeah hopefully they don't overdo it. Also we would need some hero stuff to balance it not just villains. Unfortunately I can't see too many interesting ones from them.

I took my time seeing this as I'm not particularly a fan of the genre but it turned out to be the best movie I've seen all year.
There's a risk in giving bad guys a back story because it can make them seem pathetic, but here the writers deserve massive acclaim for the credible transformation of a sad loser who lives with his Mum to the evil force that we saw in The Dark Knight.
Phoenix's performance was an acting masterpiece e.g. after he shot the Wall St guys on the train, he became a different person. If he doesn't get the Oscar there's something wrong at the Academy.
8/10

thinly veiled Trump social dissolution thru the metaphor of Joaquin's schizophrenic episode.
i resent the fact it gets greenlit in the epoch of Trump admin*
Like the Ben Affleck second Oscar for Argo on the Persians and beruit, Hollywood cheekjowl with softpower and the establishment and DC

I thought Matthew McConaughey put in an equal maybe slight better performance than Joaquin in Beach Bum.
