Meh the director already got paid. Producers are taking the monetary hit on this one. Probably won’t be a good sign for the director’s career moving forward though.

Yes, the director definitely got his salary, but the money is still going to be lost by the studio

Yeah it would have worked if they waited another 5 years before trying to beat the horse for nostalgia value. They were impatient.

People saw the first film as a novel concept with a new exciting take on a classic character. People are going to see the sequel as something… not fresh.

Exciting is not a word I would use to describe the Joker movie.

The penguin origin story is another shoe-in I feel. I don’t see it mentioned often. Is it decent it drab?

In an interview Todd Philips said he and Joaquin had no plans for a second movie until Joaquin had a dream about doing a second movie

Maybe dreams should actually remain memes.

It was actually not bad. It stumbled on the ending but did a lot of things well for the DC universe’s « La La Land. »
