i personally don't want a sequel like at all but considering how successful the first one was, my mind decided to wander
The second movie should take place entirely in the arkham mental hospital
we only see the outside world through flashbacks and the last 30 mins of the film
the film could show more grounded and f***ed up versions of batman villains
bane could be a hispanic wrestler who got on steroids and killed his wife
could have scarecrow as a street level dealer of hallucinogens who nearly overdosed on his own product
hugo strange could be the warden
it would be great if the film blurs reality and fiction, the main insp for this is bronson by NWR, when we are introduced to each character we see their flashback and how they ended up where they are (unreliable narration could be a cool factor used here), the flashbacks could help build the corrupt world of todd phillip's gotham
the movie could then end with joker escaping and wreaking havoc on gotham with his newfound friends
idk just an idea
Joker wouldn’t have been bad without the ham fisted “mentally ill loner” speech, I’m usually not much of a film critic but that was some awful writing.
Also, I’m not sure I understand how the movie sets up a hypothetical universe where this joker ends up being Batman’s rival. The age difference already makes it feel a little questionable but also since he was shown on TV as himself and then as the joker, his identity is known to the world and there’s no anonymity which was part of what was good about the Ledger one and it might make him easier to bring to justice
