Something that I have alluded to is that I found Joker 2019 to be a vastly different movie from other DC films. Joker 2019 is such a vastly different movie in both form and function compared to other DC and even Marvel films. While the rest of DC and Marvel’s catalog are action films with no real message to take from them, Joker has a clear message to tell its audience. Joker is about the cruel world around Arthur that would soon convert him into the Joker. The movie is so different from other films in its genre that there was conflict from within Warner Brothers studios. The actor that played Joker in a different movie, Jared Leto, was very upset that someone else was playing the Joker. Jared Leto tried to get his music manager to stop the Joker movie from coming out. He said he felt alienated and blind-sighted from a standalone movie being made without his talent.
The film was also being targeted by almost every media outlet. TV, newspapers, and talk shows all wanted to film to fail. They claimed it was because the violence that the film would show would cause riots to form, but that never happened. The true reasoning behind their hatred of Joker is still under speculation. But the more popular theory is that they want the movie to fail because it calls out the exact kind of things they do. When looking at the talk show scene in Joker, no wonder talk shows didn’t want people to see it.
