There's no argument because that's not what I said. Quite the opposite. I'm saying he IS The Joker, and this IS a Batman movie because it's examining why criminals like Joker exists and thus why Batman exists, and why his methods are not the solution to Gotham's problems. I think the premise that Bruce and his family are in the movie as meaningless fan service and it should just be some Joker tale that exists in a vacuum is strange, and I'm trying to understand the thought process there. For me personally, I just don’t like the idea of the movie potentially spawning yet another new universe of Batman films. The movie was pitched as an experimental stand-alone made in the style of a Martin Scorsese film, and I’d rather it stay that way. Killing off Bruce Wayne would’ve been a perfect way of reinforcing the idea that the movie is supposed to be a one-off. Instead, we now have to worry about the possibility that the movie will either connect to the Robert Pattinson films, or that it’s going to kickstart its own comic book movie universe. Well, I'm with you on preferring it as a standalone movie, although with it making so much money, probably the only way to keep it standalone would have been to kill off Joker himself. |
