That said, if they go with a new origin, that's cool - I may not be in love with this particular look for the Joker, but a good story (new origin or no) trumps everything else...

If I have to deal with natural web shooters, you can deal with a little makeup.


What's there to "deal" with? I don't get how saying I didn't like this particular look is equated with something so big that it has to be "dealt" with. I don't love this look, true, but so what? My point was that it won't matter if they give us a good story - hopefully one that is on par with the level of Batman goodness we got in BB.

Besides, does it really matter? Yeah, we can deconstruct the pic this way and that all day long, but the whole dipped in acid thing isn't really a big part of the Joker character anyway. If they changed the fact that Superman's planet exploded or that Batman's parents were shot and killed in front of him, that might be a cause for alarm (notice the use of the word "might") but I just don't see the whole acid thing as mattering two bits.


As I said before, I don't care if they change his origin or not - or, as doc mentioned, even if there is no origin tale given at all. I didn't say that the origin mattered - or even that the Joker's look was really significant in the end, because regardless of whether I'm keen on it or not, his look isn't that big a deal. Just give me a good story with acting to match.


Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
