I'm tying to think of films/shows with a protagonist who's a bad guy on the topic of would The Joker be a hero. Off the top of my head there's Death Note, Sopranos, Perfume, Kill Your Friends and American Psycho but none of them would make a good template for a Joker film.
Snowflakes melt in flame wars.
Put it this way, people watch Nightmare on Elm Street movies wanting to see Freddy kill people. He's always the best character in the movie. That doesn't mean anybody wants him to be the good guy.
I think the point is that he he isnt quite joker yet till the end of the movie. And there are ways to make ppl worse then him. I dont recall Joker sexualy assualting anyone ever and hurting Children is something hes only done a few times and the most notable one was what he did to Jason Todd and even that was soemthing people like Harley and Ras were shocked Joker would do.
Isn't this supposed to be a crime drama of sorts?
I was expecting this to chronicle Phoenix' Joker descending from average joe to Clown Prince of Crime.
Ok, I always thought of Joker being as much as an entertainer as a killer and the worst weapon in his arsenal should be poison gas (but then I completely ignore anything Jason Todd). Probably that's why I think a Cartel (affecting a whole country) or Szasz (completely dead inside) are worse. Audiences would have flocked to a Nicholson or Ledger solo movie, no? I don't think I want a Joker as evil as in Death in the Family or Killing Joke.
