In response to "groiny from B2, Cesar Romero is the 2nd best Joker, only behind Ledger" by amoxy

I'd be more excited about Suicide Squad if The Joker weren't in it.

He distracts from the point of the story.

Oh, did you see it? - Spawn Jul 12, 12:17 1
- Nope. -- nm - David Jul 12, 12:20
you can't have Harley Quinn without the Joker. -- nm - groiny Jul 12, 12:15 20
- Since I am not as immersed in the lore, Why Not? -- nm - amoxy Jul 12, 12:24 8
  - she is obsessed with the Joker, he is kind of part of who she is. -- nm - groiny Jul 12, 12:27 7
    - But that's such a blatant part of her character, if you need to still show the Joker, she's not being written or acted well enough. - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:29 6
      - If the stories are true he's going to knock it out of the park. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:36
      - Exactly. -- nm - David Jul 12, 12:34 1
        
        if they want to delve into the origins of Harley Quinn, which it appears they are doing.... - groiny Jul 12, 12:35
      - I am hearing much different stories than you are. - groiny Jul 12, 12:32 2
        
        I mean more in the context of the stupid 'crazy' bullshit he'd do on set. - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:38 1
        
        Leto's nuts. Always has been. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:39
- You can and you should. -- nm - David Jul 12, 12:19 7
  - everything about Harley Quinn is tied to the Joker, you would be taking a huge part of the character away. -- nm - groiny Jul 12, 12:28 6
    - What you do is tether her rather than telling her story without him. - David Jul 12, 12:32 5
      - Well since they're doing her origin here, he is a key character in that. So he belongs in the first story with her. no question. If she does get her - Remlik Jul 12, 12:37
      - I would argue that changing the whole makeup of the character would be even more stupid. -- nm - groiny Jul 12, 12:33 3
        
        I mean, you could argue the sun is blue, but that's not the conversation here. -- nm - David Jul 12, 12:34 2
        
        it would be akin to telling a Spider Man story and ignoring the fact that his Uncle is killed. - groiny Jul 12, 12:38 1
        
        Harley, as part of an emsemble...shouldn't need an origin story. - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:40
- I think you could spoils? - Will Hunting Jul 12, 12:18 2
  - I agree they could have gone that way. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:38
  - iirc they adapted the animated Batman: Assault on Arkham movie, which had The Joker in it. - Shaun Jul 12, 12:23
