Waiting for the Joker
I may never grow too old to enjoy comics, and I certainly don't see myself ever abandoning my favorite villain, the Joker. Being a Batman fan, all my life the joker to me has represented chaos in it's most powerful form and of course the battle between order and chaos is one that has not only occupied my mind for as long as I can remember, but also has been for humanity a focal point for cultures and religion.
I've found myself talking about comic book characters in a philosophical way so many times, to me doing so is very natural. They are without a doubt socio-cultural representations that allow us to identify certain traits we posses and gift us with the imaginary victory we all crave.
Who does not like to defeat all odds, Overcome the impossible? We dream about it, we long for that relief, and all of us have different ways of experiencing the hypothetical beautiful outcome we all wish to see.
I think the reason why this character has become so important to the genre, and yes even modern culture, is because we often wonder why things happen, only to find no suitable answer. Chaos just is, and sometimes bad things happen to good people, but those bad things are not punishment or something they deserve, they just happened.

I have to admit the Joker has a reckless abandonment that is hard not to admire. A complicated and clever character that deep down we all might have a little more similarity to then we realise.

Joaquin Phoenix is such a unique actor. He will bring such a nuanced yet powerful version to the screen.
I like how this Joker movie takes place in a very gritty version of Gotham. It looks like the 1970’s or 80’s. I like how you mentioned how chaos plays such a big role in the psychology of the Joker (and all people for that matter) because the unpredictability of life can be truly frightening and disorienting.
I remember reading the killing joke comic years ago. As the joker said in that comic : all it takes to go over the edge is one bad day.

Greetings @meno
We can see evil as subjective. What may be bad for some, may be normal for others, will depend on the stereotypes of each person. In an increasingly connected world, where information transcends borders, the criteria or norms are very varied, being difficult in some issues to achieve points of equilibrium It should develop aspects such as understanding and tolerance. But at the same time, the application of norms and rules that allow the control of situations that are unfavorable or dangerous for social equilibrium must be encouraged.he's just one of the best! I bet this is movie is gonna be crazy!
from the trailer itself you get to know that this movie is about to blow some minds! EXCITED! <3
Gotta say I find myself always loving the Joker and the recreations movies have given this character over the years ❤️☕️

Excellent review @meno and Joker mysterious and very interesting character!
I’m a big DC fan so I’m always pretty pumped to see a depiction of their content!
I just don’t know how I feel about a joker origin story the whole point of the joker is that he has no backstory his just total chaos and no reason no motivation
I keep telling myself this is like a pocket dimension or a alternative universe joker lol! Still keen to see it though

I also think it is relevant as it also somehow relates to the general issues of mental health that have been more apparent in the world and society these days!
