The Joker movie is looking good so far but do we really want a potentially good Joker facing up against Sparkles the emo vampire? The hell is WB smoking.

Man I really hope DC takes embraces the more mature and darker nature of its universe like the shows. Titans and Doom patrol are so refreshing.

No he isn't. This is ridiculous news. Serial sequel-hater Phoenix signs on to play Batman's most popular and most frequently occurring villain? 0% chance.

It's a Scorsese knock-off (not counting Lean et Al) - he's good, then he's bad, then he dies.

You don't know what you are talking about. Stop comparing Marvel which 90% of its movies were first showings and had nothing to criticize and compare it to. It's way harder to do DC because a Joker/Batman/Superman movie can't be made without comparing it to the best ones from the 80s or 2000's. Aquaman/Wonder Woman/Shazam! all worked for that reason. Daredevil and Green Lantern would do amazing because all they have to do is be better than the failures released prior. Also DC fans are far harder to please and making DC movies means making them dark and not always kid friendly.
