I was very apprehensive about this movie until I saw the trailers. Now the most disappointing part for me is that it’s a separate entity from the mainline DC universe, which could be on a much-needed up-swing. Aquaman and Shazam are strong evidence of this, IMO. I wouldn’t be opposed to that universe being Earth 1, with this being something like Earth 2, Earth 3, etc. DC has developed a reputation for handling their comic multiverse surprisingly well (for a comic), so there’s potential if you make it digestible for movie audiences.
But, yeah, a movie I thought was a bad idea became a must-see for me due to the trailers. It wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened, but I appreciate being pleasantly surprised. I’m also loving how Joaquin Phoenix nails the Joker laugh. I’m not going to judge his performance based on Mark Hamill (nobody should), but his laugh is reminiscent enough to make me giddy inside.
