I mean no offense to the previous poster but I feel like it was fine. A lot of people talked about Joaquin Phoenix being amazing but I felt like they just haven’t seen his amazing performances haha.
That’s fair, I’d argue that a viewer being able to closely relate to the protagonist or a character in the film is what changes their view of the film.
For example, I’ve heard a lot of people love the Black Panther movie and the antagonist. I personally never liked the movie, nor relate to the movie at all, but I can understand someone relating to being an oppressed minority in American urban cities and the desire to rise up.
I didn’t relate to anyone in the movie (that I can remember) and I still loved it.
I really enjoyed it because of the immersion. I just thought it was good story telling and excellent acting.
I didn’t really take the movie to have any deeper meaning. To me it was the telling of one version of the joker’s origin story, one that is more grounded and realistic.
I should add that I didn’t really care too much if the movie isn’t true to any source material. My enjoyment of the movie was of it as a completely self contained story.
For me, I thought it was one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen in my life.
I had someone tell me that, and was incredibly let down. Maybe I just didn’t get it.

I probably wouldn’t like a lot of his amazing performances.
Give them a shot some time. The Master is probably my favorite performance of his although it’s in a good not great movie.

I was confused about him being Batmans brother. Is that canon now, or was it just in one of the marvel multiverses?
Batman is not marvel
I don’t remember this at all in the movie. When was this mentioned?
He confronts Wayne in the bathroom at a party/fund raiser, IIRC.
His mother used to work for the Waynes and hints towards this throughout
Wait why would that make them brothers?

StepHalf-brother, he believes that Batman’s father cheated on his wife with his mother.That’d be half brothers.
Woops!
Been a hot minute since I saw it but IIRC that wasn’t real
