The post The “Joker” Movie’s Connection to DC Has Finally Been Clarified appeared first on TheDailyDay.
]]>The director, Todd Phillips, has finally clarified Joker‘s connection to the DC universe.
“It’s not really connected to that [Worlds of DC] Universe,” Phillips said via ComicBook. “And it was really intentionally not.”
He continued: “I mean the original idea when I went to [Warner Bros] with the idea was not just about one movie, but about a label – sort of a side label to DC, where you can do these kind of character study, low-rent, low-budget movies, where you get a filmmaker to come in and do some deep dive into a character.
“So it was never meant to connect, so I don’t see it connecting to anything in the future. I think this is just this movie, you know?”
Joker will be released in movie theaters October 4th.

]]>The feature tells the origin story of DC’s infamous villain in a way we have never seen before. His backstory is one of tragedy, social injustice, and disturbed mental health. Here’s what the critics have said.
“Joker manages the nimble feat of telling the Joker’s origin story as if it were unprecedented. We feel a tingle when Bruce Wayne comes into the picture; he’s there less as a force than an omen. And we feel a deeply deranged thrill when Arthur, having come out the other side of his rage, emerges wearing smeary make-up, green hair, an orange vest and a rust-colored suit.”
“From the way the opening credits play, to the final frames of the movie, Phillips has taken the colorful comic book movie to the dirty, gritty streets of the late 1970s with fantastic results. Trust me, you have never seen a comic book movie like Joker, and I’m not sure we will ever get one like this again.”
“It’s a sad, chaotic, slow-burn study of someone who isn’t visible; who doesn’t even exist to the world around them. But your empathy, sympathy even, isn’t guaranteed, and it begins to dissolve as Arthur somehow moves even further to the edges.”
