Joker
Jokerwriter - director Todd Phillips says the film does n’t follow anything from the comic Word , and he knows that will make people mad . Joaquin Phoenix is set up to play the latest cinematic personification of the infamousBatmanvillain the Joker in Phillips ’ upcoming film , but it ’s promised that this take on the eccentric will be very unlike from previous versions .
For one thing , Phillips and Phoenix ’s take on the Joker will be a full line of descent storey , something that has n’t been attempted on screen before ( Tim Burton’sBatmandid show how Jack Nicholson ’s Jack Napier became the Joker , but that was only a small part of the floor ) . The motion picture will also show a much more gritty and naturalistic take on the persona , breathe in by everything from Martin Scorsese’sThe magnate of Comedyto the bull shows of the ‘ LXX and ‘ 80 . other tantalization of the moviehave given glimpse of how Phoenix will harness his version of the iconic character , and indeed it does look very differentfrom prior cinematic personification .

Now , in an interview withEmpiremagazine , Phillips has indicated that not only will his Joker be unlike from prior picture show versions , it will also be very different from prior mirthful al-Qur’an version . In fact , allot to Phillips , he and Phoenix did n’t just depart from DC Comics ’ Joker , they ignored the comic books entirely - and he ’s very mindful of how this determination might negatively touch fan ' perception of the movie . Phillips said :
“ We did n’t pursue anything from the comic - book , which hoi polloi are gon na be insane about . We just drop a line our own interlingual rendition of where a guy like Joker might number from . That ’s what was interesting to me . We ’re not even doing Joker , but the account of becoming Joker . It ’s about this man . ”
Of course , as Phillips certainly knows , there is already a long story of fans getting disordered at the way the Joker has been depict on screen . Many buff did not care Nicholson ’s comedic portrait of the character in Burton ’s otherwise brood and darkBatman , and even more rooter were dismayed by Jared Leto ’s “ gangsta ” take on the Joker inSuicide Squad . The only movie version of the Joker to suffer with near worldwide acclaim was theone provide by Heath LedgerinThe Dark Knight , but of course fans only adopt Ledger ’s portrayal after originally bashing Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. for cast the actor .
Having envision how passionate fans can get about the Joker , Phillips is clearly cognisant that he ’s treading on life-threatening ground by throwing out the comic book as source material and essentially reconstruct the character reference from the ground up . It remains to be see if fans will ultimately comprehend thisnew take on the iconic scoundrel , or if they will be rick off by the way Phillips and Phoenix have deviated from established lore inJoker .
