Pranked the studio is a better take than trolled the fanbase.
I only care about this movie insofar as I hope all superhero movies fail at the box office…
But I’ve read elsewhere that they were rewriting pages for a given day’s shoots, and that Phoenix in particular was unhappy with the script and pushing for last-minute rewrites. Sounds like more of a clash of management/ego than anything intentional.
Isn’t burning a couple hundred million of studio money on a below-Speed-2 sequel that is nearly universally hated exactly what the Phoenix’s Joker would do?

I'm just not really interested. I feel like the first was a nice, contained story. Not interested in ruining that for myself.
And I hate jukebox musicals.

It's my understanding that they are musicals that use pre-existing popular music, rather than music written specifically for the musical.
And from what I hear, most of the songs in this one don't even fit the story at all.

Some people say he over-acts, but I like him. He's just kind of annoying in real life.

Look at the movies he’s picked ever since the Cash biopic. Lots of interesting roles in dogshit movies.
yeah but at the same time he has very good movies, or even kinda classics
