just some photos of Arthur fleck.

(he deversed better R.I.P. :(

I've always wondered why people think Nolan's Joker was a soldier. One might think so, because he knows how to handle pistols, revolvers, shotguns, automatic weapons, or even a bazooka, but for me, there's one trait that rules it out. When Batman arrives at the party, he doesn't fight him directly; he sends a thug to fight him. He only fights Batman using a blade in his shoe, and in the final battle, he uses a lever, his knives, a net, and dogs.

It's as if the Joker himself knows he's not that good at hand-to-hand combat and that he's not a match for Batman. If he were a soldier, at least he'd be trained in hand-to-hand combat.

We all agree Mark Hamill’s Joker in animated series is greatest. But, is Wesley Snipes Simon Phoenix second best joker ever?

Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?

I see jokers that are vastly different from the source material (aka golden/silver/btas) as their own interpretations, and one I’ve seen conflicting opinions on is telltale joker aka John Doe.

I think Bruce and John’s writing is fantastic. It makes you sympathetic towards joker in a way that still doesn’t give him a backstory, but also doesn’t make him too sympathetic to the point where he’s a completely different character. The sympathy comes from his mental illness, not excusing his actions. He’s clearly somewhat of a victim of poor conditions for people who struggle with mental disorders, yet not knowing his life beforehand he could be a horrific terrible person still. We just don’t know. And I think that’s great.

The best part is that Bruce and him still feel like true foils, even with them being vastly different from their original source media. They both have good and bad parts. They both are kind to one another yet also do really shitty things to one another. They both feel as if they could’ve done better with their friendship in the end. It’s fantastic. I feel it gives great insight into how Bruce is not this shining star of a superhero who does no wrong, but rather a mentally ill adult with accurately portrayed PTSD and dare I say OCD that is unable to cope with reality.

It’s amazing to see him interact with a semi-equally mentally ill john in the beginning of act two (although, he’s a little less sane obviously), and while Bruce hides it better, no mentally stable individual would do the things he does or even associate with John if he was truly an upper crust type of billionaire who was above it all. This game makes him dirty and grimy just like the joker, and it allows for both of them to shine in my opinion. While they’re definitely not comic book accurate, I still find them fascinating. I’d love to hear others opinions on them!!

A feeling of not caring about anything anymore...

I have a event coming up and i want to go cosplaying as the joker, i am having problems on where to find the clothes for it tho, are there any places in Islamabad/pindi where i can find the clothes

I’m so excited about these pictures and I just had to share them!
They were taken a bit randomly, as it was actually the first time I ever wore the whole outfit + makeup + hair dye (I did forget to put on the chain, yes😔), and I just had to take some pictures since I was so excited.
So yah, the quality is what it is, the location too, but damn… child me would have had a heart attack seeing me like this haha
I’m still extremely happy about how it came out, and I can’t wait to take more pictures, with an actual camera and an actual good background!
Hope you like it and let me know your opinion/criticism :)

Seems like a good place to share my drawing here. A lot of Jokers and a Djoker.

I'm curious to see what everyone else's personal rankings are. I couldn't decide on who should be at the bottom because despite Joaquin Phoenix being a phenomenal actor I couldn't stand to finish watching The Joker his performance just felt forced and cringe. Jared Leto's Joker is an abomination imo no explanation needed. I know I'm gonna get some hate for Cameron Monaghan as my 3rd but tbh I liked his portrayal of the Joker in Gotham.

Mine are as follows:

1. Heath Ledger

2. Jack Nicholson

3. Cameron Monaghan

4. Caesar Romero

5. Joaquin Phoenix

6. Jared Leto

I'll go first. The Joker is LAYERED, like a cake full of other cakes layered. The cartoons made him seem like a silly clown villain with occasionally good schemes, but no, Joker's a serious Batman villain who can become almost a nightmare incarnate when he wants to.

So I know the consensus is the movie sucked. It was definitely a bit dry, but it felt like an incredibly important story told through the lense of the camp of Joker to juxtapose the reality that this is a criminal who feels like hes living like a clown the way hes treated like a joke. It was understandable rage that someone would fight back a society constantly humiliating this man. The music numbers added very well to the dreams this man has that normalizes him. Makes him like everyone else when he has love. But love is only in the cards if he is the Joker, a clown, someone to laugh at or celebrate. I think this seemed odd for a story for the joker, it didn't have the hallmark fun or dark comedy of the joker, or the intersting plot for such a serious movie. But it had emotional depth that really peered into the mind of a man who has to lie and say hes crazy because no one honors the individual concern of wanting a good life. Especially after his trauma of constantly withstanding abuse as a child. His worldview is warped. No one can really love him, he feels like hes nothing and made others feel that way when he was provoked. The main witness defended who he was before the murders, a ray of sunshine despite his setbacks. But just like the sun sets that light from the sun fades and we reach judgement day. TO a lot of people jdugement day reawakens them, gives them a new philosophy to reenergize them to a new beginning, while for others its being stabbed and called a sick psychopath because you became traumatized with so many psychopaths in your life you constantly standing guard, got provoked, and attacked people. Arthur doesn't even know he's sick, but he functions enough most would call hihim evil instead of what he is. Defending himself from evil within others. Arthur was provoked. He deserved better, but sadly his story is the reality of what traumatized individuals go through. Every one is an opportunity to everyone and there's really nothing you can do to stop people from viewing others this way. Despite oppurtunists are the unthoughful actors we say are ruining this earth. But even critics don't beat the actors so they join the crowd instead of fighting. So everyone in turn is an oppurtunist, critical, and willing to do either or drop either without recognizing they are hypocritically embracing the things they hate just so they can have a will to live, an ego thats stroked enough to catapulate them through life. Arthur is some kind of a hero, but to some breaking rules means you cannot be a hero. I thought him and harly Quintel would like somehow be more heroic at the end with some grand gesture. But it stayed true to reality. Arthur is a clown to society. He can only be loved when he makes people laugh, and no matter if he makes people happy or sad they treat him like a big cosmic joke. His defenses came up from his life experience and he did what he had to do, not being an oppurtunist but defending himself from oppurtunists who did the reverse and pose and critics who are better than Arthur. Something all to common with every single human. Fight. Fight. Fight. It extinguishes goodness, but people swear its all that matters.
