It would have been better if Bruce Wayne was not involved in this movie at all and if the Waynes were just a backdrop in the story.
I don't go often either. I generally find theater infrasonics lacking, but the experience has its appeal too. The deal breaker for me, they have switched from traditional red, or even orange or yellow exit signs, to GREEN. The wavelength human eyes are most sensitive to... it was a left and right punch to my retinas the entire movie. That was new. a new burn in theaters. Getting worse.
Saw if finally this past weekend...it was really great. Thou, I'm not sure how he'd fit in with the new Batman. This joker isn't particularly a criminal genius or anything. I can't see him suddenly putting together elaborate theft schemes like the Heath Ledger Joker. It's more of a stand alone movie that's just really well made. The stairwell dance seen and that song are forever stuck in my brain LOL.
Profits are different than revenue. Depending on the country the studio might only get like 25% of revenue. Avengers made a lot, but they spent a lot. Joker didn't cost a lot to make. But avengers did make so much money that this article might be wrong.
I wouldn't mind him developing into a "criminal genius" and delivering that line of thinking. A lot of success really is luck and people can just be beneficiaries of "right place right time". So now that he just happened upon his newfound fame and importance he can be given proper medical treatment for his laugh and he can use and be used as a tool to further criminal and social movements. All of which happened because he just happened to snap at the right time.
Finally saw it Sunday. I have to admit, the transformation Arthur went through was absolutely amazing. I loved it. As @Severe Rockets Fan states, I couldn't see the Joker transforming into a psychopathic genius that Bats could not easily defeat, but then I realized that Bruce doesn't become Batman until he's in his twenties which would make the age gap a bit of a stretch, so I did some research and found a great answer to this.
I think Joker is an ideology in this, he had so many followers......it could have been passed on from one villain to another.
