joaquin was fantastic.
however i found the joker to be too dark and twisted, more on issues of real life dealing with mental illness rather than a DCEU movie. i would go to a greater length and say he did a better portraying of joker than heath. A fresh breath of movies and really great movie to watch, just trying not to tie to the DC universe cause it sucked as a DC comics movie (imo).
I am a huge fan of Heath Ledger's portrayal of Joker, and I absolutely love The Dark Knight, but this movie was something fresh and unique. Joaquin Phoenix did an amazing job. I didn't see this movie as a comic book movie at all, and I think thats what made me enjoy it that much more. As soon as the movie finished, my first thought was we absolutely need a Joker pop from this movie.
