Actor Joaquin Phoenix had plenty of fun while filming Todd Phillips’ Joker, he reveals during a Q&A where the duo spoke about finding the right balance between methodical preparation and on set humor. Phoenix’s feature film resume dates back over 30 years. During the 21st century, he’s become known as one of Hollywood’s most fascinating method actors. Many people first learned about Phoenix through his Oscar-nominated performance as Commodus in Ridley Scott’s 2000 epic Gladiator....

Contrary to the early estimates, Joker didn’t win the weekend box office and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil held onto the top spot, instead. Todd Phillips’ DCEU-separate origin story for the Clown Prince of Crime has been easily the most talked-about movie to reach theaters in the last four weeks, whether the discussion concerns the film’s artistic merits, box office performance, or fan theories about its place in the Batman canon. With a worldwide gross well past $800 million, Joker is also the highest-grossing R-rated film ever after less than a month of release....

Now that Joker has become a massive worldwide hit, Seinfeld star Jason Alexander wants to play Batman villain Egghead. Despite loads of controversy - or maybe in part because of the controversy - Joaquin Phoenix and Todd Phillips’ Joker enjoyed a record-breaking first weekend at the box office, grossing $93.5 million to surpass Venom for the biggest October opening ever. It is of course nothing new for a movie related to the Batman universe to enjoy huge box office numbers, but Joker is different because it doesn’t actually feature the Caped Crusader (except in pre-Batman form), and in fact does not draw upon comic book lore at all....

Caution: Spoilers ahead for Joker Joker’s sense of ambition and originality proves exactly what the comic book movie sub-genre is capable of and the range of tones it might one day achieve. It only takes a passing glance at the movie industry to see that the superhero is king, and has been for at least the past 15 years, with that popularity showing no sign of abating any time soon. Avengers: Endgame is the highest grossing movie in history and Marvel’s Phase 4 will see the studio release a quartet of movies within a single year....

A new chapter of the campaign to see the “Snyder Cut” of Justice League released began yesterday, with advocates flooding the comments on HBO Max announcements. The ambitious team-up movie was originally designed to be part one of a two-part story. One which would have pit various DC Comics heroes against the otherworldly threat of Darkseid. Following Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, the DCEU was set to be directed by Zack Snyder and pay off numerous threads he’d set up in the previous installments....

As more details on the Snyder Cut of Justice League surface, we now know how Steppenwolf was supposed to be defeated originally - and Zack Snyder’s version is way better. Of all the changes made to Snyder’s version of Justice League, it is clear that Steppenwolf’s role and the finale were two areas that Warner Bros. and Joss Whedon heavily changed. Steppenwolf received even more screentime thanks to alterations made to the history lesson scene, but his defeat played out very differently from Snyder’s original plan....
