    I’m not against a “gangster” version of the Joker, because a lot of the Batman lore is about the different gangs of henchmen so the Joker is as much a gang leader as anyone else. AND I’ll go out and say he was not the worst thing in that movie… but yeah they could have done a lot better with the casting. But hey, still better than Eisen-Luthor!

        That’s what I liked about Heath’s, remove the make up, it’s just some crazy guy like Trevor from GTAV. Or Jack on the contrary who went theatrical as a show man, like a clown is, but take the make up off and he’d probably totally chill and blend in.

        Jared Leto seems to have a knack for doubling-down on bad execution instead of reviewing and refining.

          Ye, the crew produced videos relatively prolifically until they produced nothing for a few years. You may also recognize him from such roles as Chris Brown and an assortment of cats.

      I like to think of it as “So close but so far”

      If it was just a little bit different in a lot of ways it could have been epic. I think the biggest thing that hamstrung it was the sheer lack of any origin grounding to explain the why of it.
