Different helmet than the final one. I like the one in the movie better anyway.
Also a shot of the backside, which I don't think we've seen? It's always got the cape.
That'd be pretty crazy if they pull this. Don't think it'll happen though.
Go watch SS again and you'll see that Bright is at least the better made movie.
That's kinda where I'm at. I don't really know if I want to see a Joker origin story or a movie revolving around him. But I'll give it a shot if I hear good things.
Same. I like what I see so far, but like with Captain Marvel, there's little that'll get me interested in seeing a character I don't like.
A Joker standalone movie is the last thing I personally needed to see out of the vast character roster Dc has...specially in a post TDK world.
But if this movie is a gateway for some future adaptations of some well known Elseworld stories, so be it...

Joker film and Reeves' Batman are more or less the only two things I'm excited about anymore. Shazam looks like it could be cool though.
Joker is my second favourite comic book character so you bet your balls I'm day one for that movie.
If it wasn't Joker I'd been exicted as well since it seems like something Phoenix gonna make memorable af.
I also really enjoyed Bright, so I am pretty much on board with whatever Ayer does at this point.
They're probably gonna can it once the other Joker movie does gang busters.
Both of those were a hard sell for me. Joker, I still have skepticism, but the set pictures have been great. And I'm sort of forcing myself to be excited about Captain Marvel right now, because the trailer didn't do anything for me, but I like Brie and the cast.
This Joker and Harley movie, I mean, I'll never write something off and generally try to stay optimistic about projects. Any idea can work given the right execution. But from what they're saying, it sounds... what's the right word, uh, Monkeybone-esque?
It's just....everything about that particular one feels too "corporate" for want of a better term. Like rather than someone genuinely wanting to make a story about those two characters, or a push to try something new with a DC property, some execs were just like "Hey. The kids like Harley and The Joker? Let's do a movie about them together while we still got Margot Robbie!"
It's like when some franchise blows up and suddenly 50 spinoffs about every side character imaginable goes into development. It's hard to really gain any interest in something that reeks of hollow cash grab.
Ex-DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson chased off Social Media. She made a comment about liking the Joker movie. That's what did it.
I saw that Tweet yesterday as it was linked in the Joker thread, checked out her Twitter and saw that she barely posts anything and had like 300 followers. Was just thinking how savage that Tweet looked and was wondering if she was gonna face any backlash. Looks like I was right. Why are people so shitty to people they don't even know about shit that doesn't even affect them?
That's why y'all need to stop siding with the Snyder Cult. Just cut 'em off. They're a blight.
I've been null to positive! Even before the images appeared!

The worst thing is Diane followed up that tweet saying she thinks of Snyder as highly as she does Nolan.
Edit - I love how Gotham looks in Batman Damned. I really hope Reeves captures the gothic look.

My hope is Phoenix changes his mind and they use his joker sparingly. But not getting my hopes up.
Diane has good taste. I think higher of Snyder than Nolan these days tbh.
I'm pretty sure this is a grown ass man asking this question. That's embarrassing.
Nothing that bad, but even when I saw it, I was kinda like, "Man, that's gonna be taken the wrong way"

Yeah. It's not that I don't think it could turn out well, but it's the type of project that's kinda cynical on the conceptual level. The type of movie Teen Titans Go made a joke about with an Alfred movie. Only thing about the Joker and Harley stuff that gives me optimism is Margot Robbie talking about how their relationship is a mess and needs to end in flames. I could see a Sid and Nancy kind of movie. But unlike Birds of Prey, I don't think she's involved on the creative end, and the recent quotes from the writers aren't very reassuring.
Sort of related, I would be interested in a ground up romantic comedy type of movie under the comic book movie umbrella. Seeing the Black Canary casting rumors and the potential of Green Arrow showing up, I'd be down for something like that with those two. Aquaman seems like a big push is having Arthur and Mera, as two very different personalities, grow fond of one another on their adventure. Haven't seen Ant-Man 2 yet to see if that did something similar with Wasp.
Wait, so are people thinking she was saying that Zack is also a snake?
It's a completely overblown thing. I have it on good authority that the fan who posted that snakes comment meant it as a joke that he was dared to post. Then the whole thing got way overblown and he had no idea that Diane was even gonna respond to him. I didn't see what happened afterwards but he feels really bad for having been part of what drove Diane off Twitter.
Also, the people harassing Diane Nelson and David Ayer as jackasses. Partly why Snyder left Twitter, and for a time, Ray Fisher left, was because people would harass them. Have some decency. Nowadays once actors get big enough, they just have PR folk running their accounts. But the people behind the camera with a modest amount of fame don't have the same luxury and have to deal with the sewage people and their unfiltered opinions.
If the internet taught me anything, it's that years down the road you're still have gonna have people spamming #releasethesnydercut #rehiregunn at the person who runs the craft services on the set of Detective Chimp.
Nothing makes sense in this universe anymore. Harley's title card in SS said she was an accomplice in the death of Robin, but we saw that Joker already had the grill and "Damaged" tattoo when he threw her into the vat. If both of those things were a result of killing Robin after Batman beat the shit out of him, Harley couldn't have been apart of his murder.
Of course, that one quick title card (probably added by the trailer company editors and not Ayer), which flashes by in a second can easily be forgotten and ignored in the grand scheme of things.
I mean, Ayer just said it in that Tweet. Or do you mean, because it's not explicitly clear in the movies, it doesn't count even if the director says it?
