Is this some kind of joke?
Everyone involved in the upcoming "Joker" prequel seems sure they've stumbled onto a brilliant idea--but the rest of us are quite stumped. When Martin Scorsese decides he wants to make a Batman picture you try not to look the gift horse in the mouth, but just what the hell is this?
What creative spark got Scorsese's eye? What inspiration drove director Todd Philips and writer Scott Silver? What drew the famously picky Joaquin Phoenix, who has joked with us before and will no doubt joke with us again?
