I get a Bill Murray vibe every time I see shots of him in the makeup.

**Cassius_Smoke** · 25-09-2018, 17:30

I think if he can apply a similar weight to the character as he did in The Master or You were never really here it could be very good.

Not seen You Were Never Really Here but yeah, he was intense in The Master.

I watched that test video about five times.

He looks wicked.

doublepost, whoops!

I've just got no enthusiasm for this.

If Lego Batman taught us anything, it's that a hero is nothing without a villain.
The same goes the other way.

I don't really want to watch someone unhinged just killing people for two hours.

Was Batman even around when the Joker started out, though? Couldn't they have Commmmmisioner Gordon as the hero?

I prefer the Russian title:

Джокер

You can see it says Joker.
