Joker: My quick take.

Liked it very much as it puled from many iconic stories. Not remotely misogynist or racist as the alt.right/Incel crowd hoped (but hey, they found a way to latch onto Alita: Battle Angel). Can be summed up in one famous comic book quote
:

'All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.'

Thought it was a really good movie despite being violent as fuck.
I think that Joaquin Phoenix is going to be hard to beat for the academy award.

Create a loop of certain scenes from Batman: TAS when Joker is mean to Harley or his shooting Barbara Gordon in, "The Killing Joke," to fap to.

Fucking morons.
