God, save me from all the people who think that the whole "1989 Joker got exposed to chemicals, 2019 Joker got exposed to society" thing is deep

oh my g o d
Platinum
I'm finding so many comments about how deep this is and how this really speaks to them and how the trailer alone is making them cry!
AI copyright
like i've been staying away from the Joker trailer cuz i just flat out hate the character but ohmyg o d
Zita
oh no
Zita
i only read this plurk and i'm exhausted
Platinum
Yeah, the trailer's not even like
Platinum
He's a clown, he takes care of his mom, people beat the hell out of him a lot.
Platinum
Something tragic happens, he decides to laugh in a mirror and start dancing before dying his hair green.
Platinum
Also, apparently he does something horrible.
Platinum
that's it, that's the trailer.
AI copyright
i'm like incomprehensibly pissy just from this also fuck trying to give that plot armored master of edgy white boy autofellation pathos
AI copyright
Zita
i'm really tired of violent revenge narratives
Platinum
See, I don't mind the Joker when he's handled properly.
Platinum
As in not the edgy "agent of chaos" thing
Shards-giving
The Joker has always been a terrible person. That's kind of the whole thing.
Platinum
I keep thinking that the Joker should be at least funny
AI copyright
i got fed up with him reading Birds of Prey cuz he is so often the agent of doing barbara gordon dirty, like the only joker i can stand is legit btas joker
Shards-giving
Yeah, there's that, too.
Platinum
Give me one like
Platinum
Joker! Do Not Touch My Mask! Villainous Clown! (S1E0...

: Well, that's because BTAS Joker was actually done well.
AI copyright
TRUE THAT
Platinum
gimme a joker who escapes by throwing sneezing powder into Batman's face again
Shards-giving
Or escapes prison by making the Christmas tree into a giant rocket. >.>
Platinum
But, yeah, he's just
Platinum
It's boring when the Joker shows up now because every writer ever leans on him.
Platinum
And his stories are all the same.
Platinum
At this point.
AI copyright
writers take him too seriously and that's a problem
Platinum
I'm dreading this "Three Jokers" nonsense that Geoff Johns is squatting out.
AI copyright
maybe one of them will actually be funny
Platinum
Nah
Platinum
They've revealed the three Jokers.
Platinum
One of them is The Killing Joke Joker, one of them is the 'Original' Joker that seems to be the Golden Age one, and one of them is the 'Classic' Joker, but looks even more unhinged than the other two.
Shards-giving
Here's a better idea from Twitter: 
Brian Altano on Twitter
Platinum
Batman has such a diverse crew of villains, some of which have never been in a decent movie.
Platinum
Riddler, Two-Face, Clayface, Bane, Talia al Ghul, Poison Ivy...
Shards-giving
Yep. And Clayface could be SO interesting.
Shards-giving
Man. I'll admit, I liked Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face.
Shards-giving
But, seriously. The movies could take so many lessons from the Animated Series.
Platinum
S'long as they don't copy them.
Shards-giving
At this point, I'd about take that over what they have been doing.
AI copyright
God I would love Talia or Ivy to be in a decent movie 
Platinum
The problem with Ivy is that I'm afraid they're gonna cram Harley into her movie.
Shards-giving
I'd say maybe get Timm to write it, but...uh...
Platinum
Timm's gone downhill a bit, hasn't he?
Shards-giving
He's gotten REALLY WEIRD.
Shards-giving
<looks at the Batman and Harley movie> <backs away slowly>
Platinum
For me, I'm fine with Harley Quinn in small doses, but she's kinda become DC's Deadpool.
Platinum
And most of the Harley and Ivy stories are like
Platinum
"We're not gonna say they're gay, but they're gay and in love and it's pure, except Ivy's just as abusive as the Joker in a different way, except not anymore because we can't show women abusing each other and this is as close as we have to an iconic lesbian relationship."
