[@jerrythemagicalllama]

I love this interpretation of Joker. He seems to be a bit self-aware and he feels much more like a human being despite his cruelty. He's multi-dimensional and should be taken seriously yet he is still playful at the same time. Wonderful casting choice, fabulous actor.

[@chengoo]

Seriously, this Joker got something a lot of the other counterparts don't have: subtlety! Yes, the traditional Joker is played in an extremely rambunctious manner which is always fun to watch. However, I find this Joker captivating in a sense that it is not over-the-top yet the psychotic energy is still present. 10/10

[@SufganiyotSecurity88]

12/10!

Anthony Misiano is more than just the face of Joker, he gives a strong performance too!

[@MasterOfTheLemons]

Wow, this Joker has a totally normal voice, yet still feels totally comic book! Usually when Joker performances are more grounded, they're like Nicholson or Ledger, and they don't _really_ fell like comic book Joker. But this guy DOES! He just totally captures that Joker energy, without slipping into a loud, semi-British Hamill impression. This almost feels like the _real_ Joker, the one all those comics and movies are based on. Bravo! He looks literally exactly like The Joker too btw, the smile, the hair, the eyebrows... UnCANNY!!

Anthony Misiano/The Joker is the one who started this project.

[@anthonymisiano256]

princeofthewildthings Actually no, I was approached by Daniel Petruccio who had been developing a script with Michael Lupia. I came on board the project and definitely SHARED the creative burden of developing it having produced films in the past, but it was not my brain-child.

[@Mrsupercoolguys]

Better Joker than Jared Leto

[@ColtenGriffin]

Said no one ever

[@Mrsupercoolguys]

+The Griff Literally everyone hates Leto and his portrayal of Joker

[@ColtenGriffin]

in his less than 10 mins of screen time where we barley even saw him? Anyone who really likes the character of joker knows that Leto was a good portrayal for what time he had. This was like the Riddler with clown make up

[@Mrsupercoolguys]

+The Griff Leto sucked. His performance was cringeworthy and even comic book fans/writers agree that he does not resemble the Joker (apart from his look)

[@ColtenGriffin]

Again, only 10 mins of screen time. People are unsure of how is going to do. The movie focused more on Joker and Harley's relationship. But it is your opinion and I can see how you might not like him. I think that we should give him a chance for when he most likely appears in Ben afflecks Batman solo movie.

[@rasberry797]

Surprisingly I actually really like this toned down Joker, he is a bit more of a scheming Joker, and I like that. Reminds me of Heath's Joker in parts, which is why I am surprised I like Anthony's Joker so much, because I gravitate towards the comic/cartoony Jokers more.

[@MikeHuffam]

I've only followed Anthony Misiano through his cosplay career, but to see him on film playing as the Joker, I have to say he exceeding my expectations! Great job making your twist and personality to the character, and happy to see you didn't try to over-do the laugh, but rather make it your own menacing psychotic version. Proud of you dude!

[@adolfgaming1761]

Everybody’s talking about Batman but I only see Handsome Squidward

Wait... hold the phone. What's this? An actor... that actually makes the Joker his own character instead of a bad Mark Hamill or Heath Ledger impression? It's... it's unheard of! In all seriousness, this some awesome stuff. Keep up the good work!

[@RaptorJesus]

I fucking know, right? He's taking some cues from them, obviously, but he's doing it in his own way. Nice little hints of other Jokers, especially how he talks. An interesting mix of Romero, Ledger and *especially* Hamil's Jokers. But still unique.

[@kylejosephsen9388]

Joker isn't always a raving lunatic, some portrayal's of him like Heath made him out to be way more chaotic, and there's a comic that portrays him more as a broken man who lost everything... He can be rational and calculating when he chooses to.

[@AWlpsSHOW36]

Holy crap! Not only is this guy the best Joker I've seen on a fan film, but he looks so much like Conrad Veidt's portrayal of Gwynplaine from 'The Man Who Laughs'! The resemblance is so uncanny and accurate that it's terrifying!

[@LelouchViBritannia13]

Oh wow, Harley's Joker's performance was incredible, truly! His dialogue was perfect!

[@TheBatmanChronicles1]

Actually, his name is Anthony Misiano - he's an actor. ;) However he DOES have a popular facebook page with that name. All kidding aside though, thank you SO very much, honestly. We are so happy to hear people enjoying the direction we took the character, and Mr. Misiano has even said himself the reason he originally came on board this project was a love of the Jokers dialog in the script (writing credit to the talented Michael Lupia). :)

[@freddy9088RAY]

is there going to be a sequel? id like to see the girl play catwoman!!! again

[@mayanfield6337]

[@Ceridewn]

I think I'm falling in love with Anthony's Joker laugh, it's freaking amazing and gives me the shivers. I'd love to see more of Anthony's acting, even if he's not playing Joker, he seems like a wonderful actor.

[@foreverdead1248]

Anthony really does look the part, but I think the script writer failed to grasp the Joker's character properly. It reads more like the Riddler, who is a little neurotic, a little bit whimsical, and certainly as ruthless as the Joker can be. But Nigma is more level headed than the Joker, (I hesitate to say sane, for obvious reasons) and I feel much more like I'm watching Nigma dressed as the Joker. Even when the Joker is angry, it's flamboyant, exuberant, not curt and cold.

[@shaunjones8353]

foreverdead1248 yeah i didnt like it, but the guy you can tell is a good actor still

[@foreverdead1248]

***** I'm pretty sure Anthony has said also that he's not actually a Joker fan. He just chose to cosplay as him. It's difficult to act as a character that you're not really in to. I think if Anthony had read some material with the Joker - notable ones would have been A Killing Joke, and A Death in the Family - or even have played Batman: Arkham Asylum, he would have had a better grasp on the character's personality.

[@TheBatmanChronicles1]

foreverdead1248 Anthony's actually a huge fan of the character and the entire Batman universe, has been his entire life, and we loved having him on board our project in several capacities. However not every actors' portrayal of every iconic character will fit the mold every individual viewer has formed in their minds of how these characters should be portrayed. It's the curse of playing a character people already know and love.

[@foreverdead1248]

The Batman Chronicles Odd. I remember an interview where he said he wasn't actually a fan of the Joker's. Still, I blame the writer for the unusual portrayal more than the actor. Of course, there's different interpretations of a character as old as the Joker, but in the end there's still a certain basic way he acts, things he would and would not do. And I feel like showed Joker doing things he's not actually likely to do, based on his previous comic incarnations.

[@NachozMan]

FoxyWhite He said he actually was not a fan of cosplaying he just loved art and the Joker, but I agree he really does capture the riddler well, could pull off the face damn well too.

[@orochi52]

I like this angle they're doing with the Joker. I mean Nicholson had that homicidal artist thing and well this with the whole deranged actor angle is great. Plus I love how he is so fast and smooth talking kinda like Hades in Hercules. Joker is stealing the show so far.

[@WilliamAndrews0]

god damn, anthony misiano is just born to be the joker. What an incredible performance.

[@walkinglost]

Can't tell you how much I appreciate the fact that he isn't just copying Heath Ledger's or Mark Hamill's voice..

[@OMGSAMCOPSEY]

The beginning makes me think more of handsome jack than the joker. Like there's the socio-psychopathic elements but not the humor. I probably wouldve went less stabby stabby more happy happy xD. He genuinely looks sad and pissed off that he had to kill number 4 like it wasnt fun? It shouldve been fun

[@SleightCreative]

Playing the joker is a really fine balancing act between homicidal maniac and clown prince of crime. Heath Ledger joker being on the Far left (Homicidal Manaic), and Ceasar Romero being far right (Clown) Mark Hamill being dead center This joker I'd put leaning left, which is fine left-leaning jokers fit well in these more realistic takes on Batman

[@OMGSAMCOPSEY]

I suppose and I understand it's difficult to get the balance right that's what makes him such a fantastic character but even the Ledger Joker would let out a laugh after a killing.

[@AdamTensei]

Sam Copsey True but you have to admit, this version of the joker is very well done. Sure less cooky and less haha but when i see this I start to think of "Gotham", the new show coming to FOX. Add a little Heath Ledger like wardrobe and make up with this joker's demeanor and I feel it'd be very appropriate. Kinda like a Joker of the real world.

[@solbo24]

There's also the fact that this little webserie shows the very start of this particular Joker (description: ''following a young Bruce Wayne''). It's also probably the Joker of The Killing Joke (Anthony Misiano, the actor, said in an interview that it was his favorite backstory for the Joker), which means he was a lone depressed guy before becoming it. Even if he's a psycho doesn't mean he's already enjoying everything (like killing people) that he does. With that in mind, I think it's easier to fully understand the acting that Anthony Misiano does..

[@fruitpunch3675]

Amazing! Subtle tones of Batman: the Animated Series, a little flavor from the 1989 Batman, the feel of the darker comics and a lot of personality from the actors.

[@mrfrench821]

This production is awesome and I like this guy playing the Joker... he brings another dimension to the character. My only gripe is Batman. He should be more reclusive and brooding... he would NEVER thank Selina for anything she gave him because he's doing HER a favor by not putting her back in prison. Batman seems a little soft...

[@martinezsole3485]

Perhaps it's got something to do with Bruce's age?

[@mrfrench821]

Bárbara Martínez-Solé If that's the case...if we're looking what I guess is supposed to be a younger Bruce, he'd be even MORE non-tolerant. Think about it...if it's younger Bruce, then it's closer to the time when he lost his parents. So he'd be much more abrasive.. much more...sharp! (attitude-wise) This guy is giving me too much "nice" for me to believe this is Batman I'm watching. "Thank you Selina"?....gimme a break lol. I get that he may be attempting to do his own thing (like the guy playing the Joker) but don't lose the "feel" of the character while doing so. I think the "mirror" technique would assist this guy playing Batman/Wayne. He needs to ask himself how does Batman think and respond accordingly while adding his own flare to the role (if he chooses to do so).

[@jackeline6486]

I was thinking the same think while watching, batman would never had said thank you to her

[@123RangerDude]

· KING · Except, hasn't Bruce always had a soft spot for Selina? If so, why wouldn't he say thank you? Though, this wasn't really a good reason to say thank you...if she saved her sure but...idk. It did seem weird a bit weird now that I think about it...

[@mrfrench821]

123RangerDude It's just a bit out of character for Bruce/Batman to say thank you to ANYBODY. Batman isn't the "nice guy"... just think about it, how many times have you heard or read him saying thank you to someone in the movies or comics? Like never... maybe once and I'd have to stretch to find it lol.

I often have a differing opinion from other people sometimes because I tend to try and look behind what you see and think what actually went into it. I think you guys did an amazing job! Honestly I preferred the costume without the slicked back hair, but you guys had a vision and you made it come to life, I applaud you for that. I think all of the actors involved did a great job. And to be honest, I think that Anthony looks more like the Joker than a couple of people who played the Joker in big projects! I won't name names because I don't want to offend anybody. Thank you for making this! It is so fun to watch!

[@franktroise4386]
