Arthur Fleck started that populist revolution by accident. All he was doing was getting revenge on three people who attacked him on a subway.
Joker is a better movie than the Catwoman 2004 movie, certainly. Though it's certainly flawed. It tries to make a statement about how society treats (or rather, mistreats) the mentally ill, but I'm not entirely sure how successful it is at making that statement.
It might have been better without the shoehorned in Batman references. The Waynes could have been left out entirely, replaced by some other rich family, without losing anything.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

I just got it! This movie is the anti-"Hero at Large!" (the John Ritter movie...)
Aside from him feeling sorry for himself that he can't write comedies without offending someone, I know I haven't. Would you mind boiling down why this movie had to be about DC's Joker?
Personally, I want to see a followup movie where we see Batman's rise in this particular world.
It was a R rated movie that made a Billion dollars worldwide with a movie about a villain clown. Which is remarkable. The profit margin on this movie must be close to an all time record. There are always people who don't like a movie. No matter how good or successful it is.
