Joaquin Phoenix couldn't give a bad performance if he tried, but I'm just baffled the character doesn't have any scars. His scarring was an integral part of his descent into madness.....'one bad day'. Heath Ledger wore makeup but he was scarred.
At the moment I'm on the fence about this one. As we've already had a 'realistic' Joker in the Dark Knight, it's going to have to work hard to top Heath Ledger. Think I'll wait for the reviews.
