The Knights complete their descent into “March Madness” with 2019’s hit, “Joker”!
In 2019’s “Joker”, director Todd Phillips takes audiences on another gruesome tour through the streets of Gotham City to bear witness to the genesis of one of the most popular comic book villains ever. Anchored by a horrifying and mercurial performance from Joaquin Phoenix (for which he also brought home the Academy Award for Best Actor), this Batman anthology film sent waves through the mainstream as an examination of how such unforgiving conditions and lack of resources in society can lead to the unwinding of the human psyche itself. This film, adding a fresh take on the Batman origin mythos while borrowing heavily from other crime classics such as Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver” became the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time on the backs of it’s acting and origins, and carved a niche for its own in the famous comics from which it came.
