The trailer dropped yesterday and has racked up nearly 6.5M views on YouTube in about 24 hours, so clearly there is interest in this movie.
The trailer looks bad, to me. Like, truly awful. An unnecessary backstory for a villian, for one & a poorly conceived and written backstory, for two. And really, really bad casting for three. I suppose there’s a small element of “haha Rupert Pupkin is now the dickish King of Comedy” to it all, but IMO the story and casting of DeNiro is just really, really bad.
Also, he’s theJoker, not just “Joker”.
I’m not looking forward to watching this film, but I guess I am looking forward to seeing another failed DC movie, if just for the lulz thinking of all the studio execs wondering “why don’t people want to see DC comics movies?” and then still not getting it.
