Maybe it’s all Johnny Cash songs.

Maybe they’ll be going meta(verse) and all the music will be provided by Jared Leto in his Joker makeup. Does Nicholson play any instruments? Is there a hologram Caesar Romero available?

One could argue that Todd Phillips is the most daring man in superhero cinema.

One could also argue that the world is being run by a secret cabal of sentient rutabagas from planet Dagon, but that doesn’t mean it’s true.

Might make for a more enjoyable movie than any of the recent DCMarvelStarWars placeholders though.

Most films in the superhero genre tend to avoid an R rating like the plague, as the designation usually makes it difficult for superhero movies to earn extra cash with toy sales. Todd Phillips bravely walked into an R rating with Joker and helped shepherd the film to a billion dollars at the global box office.

“Most” covers a big range. It’s not like Phillips broke ground here. Blade was rated R in 1998. Kick-Ass was rated R. More recently, but still before Joker, Deadpool and Logan were very successful R rated superhero films. They certainly aren’t the norm, but let’s not act like Joker broke some new cinematic ground in this regard (I liked movie and I think it broke ground in other ways, just not in being rated R).
