Along with kicking off the Joker’s origin mythos, The Killing Joke cemented him as a horror based in psychology. Much in the way Phillips’ Joker is grounded in realism, Moore’s narrative also grounds the villain in realism. With all the different origin takes, there is one that has stood out among the others: As Joker has mentioned in the past, he prefers his origin to be a multiple choice situation. Off the bat, I was curious as to how director Todd Phillips would handle the villain’s origin considering what we’ve seen of the character in both Scott Snyder’s run on Batman and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, the Joker origin story is all over the place. At first I was a little skeptical about the idea of a standalone Joker film however, given all the recent buzz surrounding the picture, it sounds as if Joker is more than your average comic book flick. The Joker is one of my favorite villains in all of pop culture history growing up with Batman: The Animated Series, Joker’s wild antics and erratic personality struck me as unnerving and unique. ![]()
