@@arwyss Well it is funny. It's funny how fucking retarded our society is in handling these. We through drugs at everything when some people can fight it by pure support and we don't give drugs to those that need them because we suspend belief. It's hilarious how much we want to claim normalcy but fail so miserably at tackling the odd.Our definition of normal and peaceful itself is cloaked in contradiction. Peaceful society not at war yet the people within it are out for self and have no patience for others. Humanity is one big joke of contradictions.

[@george2p]

MiniWeni I'm willing to bet that scene between Arthur and Bruce happens at the end of the movie after Bruce's parents get killed.

[@antonbrakhage490]

If that's Bruce, then its an interesting reversal on the usual story, where Batman preceded Joker and in some versions inadvertently creates him. The only other version I can recall where Joker is much older, and met Bruce as a kid, is the Tim Burton Batman with Nicholson as the Joker (which also gave the Joker an origin).

[@antonbrakhage490]

@@Sam-vk8xd Disagree that Batman is insane. That just cheapens the character for the sake of being "edgy". For that matter, I don't think most versions of the Joker are insane, in the legal sense of the word (unable to tell right from wrong and therefore not legally responsible for their actions). Or at least I think you can make a case either way. Ledger Joker, for example, didn't seem insane to me. He wasn't delusional. Just a nihilist who hated the world and wanted to show everyone that the world was as ugly as he believed it to be. Killing Joke Joker (from which Ledger Joker clearly took some inspiration) always struck me as someone who knows deep down that he's a monster (hence his desperate need to validate himself by showing that everyone else is just as corruptable). He seems very deliberate, very self-aware, when he rejects Batman's offer of redemption at the end. He knows he's a monster, and he chooses to be because not giving a shit is easier than facing what's happened to him, and what he's become. Batman and the Joker both lose their meaning as characters if you simply say "they're insane". Batman and the Joker are opposites, but they have this in common: they both chose how they responded to the horrors of the world. Batman is a hero who tries to protect people and impose order, and the Joker is a villain who revels in nihilism and caring about nothing, because that's what they chose to be.

[@antonbrakhage490]

@@Sam-vk8xd No, insanity is not defined simply as "being mentally ill", certainly that is not the legal definition of insanity, and saying it is is both insulting to everyone who has a mental illness but is not insane, and misrepresenting legal and medical fact. Also, Batman being mentally ill is an interpretation of the character, not inarguable fact.

"Like Venom" - man, I couldn't disagree more with this statement. The narrative of venom was disappointing, unfortunately not unexpected. Heavily marketed with the villain narrative, at the climatic rocket scene I was unsure if I had watched a hero cloaked as an antihero, but a villain, definitely not. Judging by this trailer, Joker is obviously a cautionary tale, about a man that is consumed by the shadow archetype, leaving empathy behind - being a villain. If the joker is anything like venom, I am gonna give up on this genre. After more than a decade of half assed superhero movies - and seeing only "villains" 'finally doing something good" - I really want to see something new, someone that actually tells the story of an actual villain and what that might entail. Not a hero/antihero in a villain cloak.

If things went another way for them maybe things would’ve turned out differently. This trailer made me think of these kids and brought a tear or two to my eyes. The paths we take in life can lead to different out comes. The lesson here is never judge someone based on what you see. You don’t know what life they had and what horrible things happened to them.

When the Joker stretched his mouth into a grin with his fingers, I couldn't help but think of who inspired his creation in the first place: Conrad Veidt as Gwynplaine in "The Man Who Laughs", a 1928 silent film adaptation of the Victor Hugo novel.

[@altonbeckert506]

The Charlie Chaplin references are rampant throughout the trailer. The song heard is Smile co-written by Chaplin. The double ads of Chaplin's masterpiece Modern Times which shows up at 2:25 (double ads as a metaphor for the two sides of Joker's sanity?). The closeup of the extended-like shoes at 2:20 which mimics Chaplin's own clown shoes. The miniature Chaplin bowler hat at 1:29. And the constant (sometimes comic) violence acted on Joker is parallel to Chaplin travails in his films, especially Modern Times. Is Joker a Modern Times Charlie Chaplin? Are the two great clowns somehow related? My heart beats deep on this one

[@theaussieinbelfast]

Apparently that kid is actually Bruce Wayne

[@ZoeDuneCorp]

In coming through and re-watching Joker trailer reaction videos (perhaps the only movie I'm interested in going to the theater to see this year), I've learned that a group reaction this large can work! You guys aren't stumbling over each other and everyone's points are being made! Eric and Aaron (obviously brothers, though I haven't looked into it) have some great managing skills for this group. That's why this works!

[@alphabetmonkey1435]

Shhh don't let you comicbook side ruin it , just go along calmly and patiently

[@Dr.HooWho]

@@Sam-vk8xd plus they have to make it where it fits the movie

[@hclazarin]

1:21 The guy with the pen laughing like a jerk thinking "oh God, I'm gonna make fun of this awful trailer" . 3:28 "I love it"

[@jasonmelton9755]

This Joker is for mature audiences. Ledger had the right idea, but this is going to be the masterpiece.

[@s6v9n93]

Oh this joker is way older than Batman, he is seen putting a smile on young Bruce in one scene

[@MicaelaNCoira]

Eric understood the point of this movie

[@spencernoss6554]

And here I thought Ledger would stay my favorite forever. Fantastic trailer.

[@kingovmyself]

Audience scene from DKR, if they even do a HINT of that, best Joker ever!

[@marzz4698]

I love how these guys reacted to it. Didn’t talk loud during the trailer, made good points, and discussed why he didn’t like it which I respect his opinion

[@pen-bv4et]

Imagine if there’s a post credit scene where he kills Bruce’s parents

[@Xander-86]

Most likely he will and bruce wayne will be watching

[@자시엘-l1s]

Maybe at 2:57 those Flowers are for Bruce's dead parents Like a sick joke lol That'd be awesome

[@pen-bv4et]

jasiel delgado OMG😱

Heath Ledger isolated himself in his living space for a month and slept up to 2 hours per day (an ongoing issue leading to his accidental overdose) to adopt the Joker's neurotic mentality. Christian Bale emaciated himself down to 120 pounds for The Machinist, then beefed up to 190 pounds a year later for Batman Begins. Jaoquinn Phoenix is yet another great method actor to grace the DCEU who always went the extra mile to transform himself for whatever role he's given. Gladiator, Walk the Line, The Master, or any role in his long career affirms that when he commits, he's all in. This will be a film to remember.

[@rodkvic9513]

Joaquin Phoenix deserves an oscar just for this teaser alone 😭🤡❤

[@halfnhalf7737]

Krystal Rodriguez hu

[@connormcleod9595]

Yep

[@adamdobnikar6247]

Eric is such a good converser! Not that any of the rest of y’all aren’t, but he always finds a way to keep bringing up things that I’ve never thought of and I appreciate it. Keep on bein the man Eric

[@puspalatanayak9274]

I actually cried after watching this trailer

[@purusothumanpandiyan]

This puts smile in my face with tearing eyes......

[@ThitSizzle]

His laugh while on the ground after getting punched on the train Gave me chills

[@El_Crazyknight]

Why does he kept thinking a protagonist needs to be a good guy? he is just the main character that we follow on a story.

[@TheftTone6]

Good guy?? Really?? Joker is just a normal guy doing what needs to be done to live. He isn't special. He is an average kind of guy like us, but it's one bad day that makes him the psychopath we know and love. My take away is that they show him doing normal things to live and he looses it all and finally snaps to become who he has always meant to be.

[@El_Crazyknight]

@@TheftTone6 I think you didn't read my comment correctly.

[@xbree_]

Crazyknight I don’t think he did either lol I agree with you too

[@WallEWorld]

Taxi Driver meets American Psycho? I love the trailer.

[@efrenarevalo2025]

That make up feels more terrifying once you actually see it in the theatre.

[@kagenotatsumaki]

That is exactly how I felt. I wasn't sold on the design, nor was my cousin and his GF, but after I saw the movie they asked me "Does he ever look better in the movie? He looks stupid in the pictures" yes, they're *those* kind of people, and I told them, "When you see the movie, you will feel COMPLETELY different."

[@ShutterSnapped]

A lot of people making fun of the mother thing. It looks like he's clearly caring for his mother who has some sort of health issue. Since some people here are already mentioning depression and mental illness, we could maybe see that connection stemming from his mother.

[@lylehimself9287]

I can not believe an adult can't accept a movie like this. I'm sold 100%!

[@MsLoveTheSummer]

This looks amazing! I am SO excited!

[@insolencestar]

this shit looks genuinely terrifying. I bloody love Joaquin..!

[@neitomonoma8457]

We're all one *crack* away from losing our minds.

[@Sweatsofficiallytheworst]

Just from the trailer I'm loving Phoenix's Joker. He's no Heath Ledger but has the potential to be up there if the movie/his performance does/ great.

[@degenerategambler4830]

Bro said im not sold
