The Batman | March 4, 2022 | Warner Bros. | Certified Fresh on RT | 7th Most Profitable Movie of 2023

[Menor the Destroyer]

It was the right call to cut this scene, it's mostly redundant and makes Batman look dumb since Joker is just telling him the most obvious things. I also just don't really like Keoghan's performance here. 

[belblazer]

They did the right thing by not including in the movie, but it's way better than the scene in the actual movie.

 

I like the visuals but still hate the cast decision.

Cool scene and I look forward to seeing his joker in the future but we didn’t need that scene in the movie so it was a good call to cut it.

I actually think it's a pretty decent scene but agree with everyone that it was right to cut it. 

 

It's too visually similar to the later Batman prison scene and it really spells out the Riddler/Batman connection for the mums in the back row who aren't getting it. 

 

Not entirely sold on Kheogan's performance, especially the laugh. It's actually quite a creepy look when it's blurred through the glass but when you see it at the end it comes off as too grotesque. I think he's a fantastic actor so let's see if they can fine-tune it.

They need to find a way to make Phoenix the "Godfather Joker" in this universe and have Barry K kind of like his "Robin".

Anyone else kind of tired of the Joker no matter how great the performance may be?

Yes. Weve had enough of him.

 

Bring back Poison Ivy! I want to see her creating giant evil plants that make Gotham a bit more green and less depressing.

[Omario]

i'll be game for joker in Batman 3.

Mr. Freeze needs to be in Batman and it needs to be Christmas themed.

[WittyUsername]

Matt Reeves already claimed that he doesn’t plan on making the Joker the villain of future movies, so we’ll have to see if he means it. He said he wants to go with Mr. Freeze for the next one.

Im down for that.

[TerwillikerInst]

Main problem with this Joker is that the design is a bit "try hard" and the performance is very Ledger-esque. 

 

If we do have to have the Joker again, it would be nice to move away from the grimy, gritty look we've been getting since Ledger and instead go back to the more classic elegantly suited and coiffed version.

 

Also, and this is just a personal thing, why do we keep getting serious actors cast as the Joker and not a comedian. That might be a nice change. 

 

So yes, I am saying my ideal Joker would be Paul F. Tompkins.

Where is grace pulling these numbers from ? Up her ass most likely, trying to spin this. 

[Hatebox]

Well that was boring. I feel like between this and the awful tease they kept in the film something's gone badly wrong and any interest I had in Reeves' take on the character is now in minus numbers. Just keep the character out altogether. Which of course they won't.

If they had to have the Joker again, then I prefer a younger actor like Keoghan having fun than some 40-50 year old method actor taking it way too seriously and embarrassing themselves by thinking they are reinventing cinema.

The general rule is 2-2.5* production budget

185-200*2.5

The 350m number includes the marketing budget.

 

250-350m PDT + MKT budget is pretty standard for major tentpole blockbusters.

 

Grace Randolph's take on breakeven is shit and not properly informed.

 

Her movie maths on batman have been shit .
