It's an improvement, probably?
It's WB, though, I'll believe the movie is coming out opening night.

... Darker Stories?
Yes, darker and more gritty is exactly what DC movies are missing

"A cautionary tale"?
Hasn't the entire DCEU been a cautionary tale about how not to make a movie? Hell, even the one good one had a ton of interference from studio execs who wouldn't know a good movie if it stole their wives and raped their cattle.

Yes, darker and more gritty is exactly what DC movies are missing I would bet a crisp $5 bill that some higher up at WB saw the opening weekend for Infinity War, thought "We've been doing this all wrong. The heroes don't need to be killing anyone...we need to be killing the heroes!!" and Gal Gadot will somehow be killed by both Jokers now.

This should be a can’t miss movie and role for Joaquin, but they’ll figure out a way to screw it up.

Also i'm guessing this will be there 2nd attempt to do the Killing Joke or at least a version of it
Though with Affleck being iffy about Batman this seems like a origin in the somewhat truest since and could be something like he won't become full on Joker until the end

You know what? I'm okay with this. I don't know if it'll be good or not, but at least it'll be INTERESTING with Phoenix as the lead.

Phoenix will be good. I know this especially after seeing You Were Never Really There.

Also, I know that he's producing but, is there any reason why Scorsese can't direct as well?

Even if Affleck wasn't iffy he still wouldn't be involved, as this is completely unconnected to the DCEU continuity.

The movie should be good because I have faith in Phoenix but what's the end game at the end of the day

Best I can tell, the end game is a series of movies that have no connection to each other. A throwback to the pre-MCU days.

Batman has such a good rogue's gallery, but everything is always focused on the Joker. Can we get Two-Face up in this bitch for a change?!

As it's DC they'll hype it up complete with merch, tie in comics & interviews, But when it's actually released it's not actually Joaquin Phoenix playing the Joker but Jared Leto again. DC will then claim it's a masterstroke and how it "subverted expectations" . f*** DC

If they do a Joker origin movie, they need to make it like Clue and have different endings in various markets, Joker should never have a definitive origin IMO
