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?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, the Penguin is actually really good.

Maybe dreams should actually remain memes.
