Personally I don't think that a Joker backstory, let alone a sympathetic one, is a good idea. He's always been interesting for having a mysterious, inscrutable background, along with being unsympathetic and just plain evil. Because the standard is for villains to be sympathetic or have a tragic backstory, so Joker stands out for just being malevolent and twisted for reasons that aren't explained.
Hurrah yet again another media of fiction that gets demysteryified when its not needed.

Because not knowing what Joker's actual origin is what makes it scarier as with the xenomorphs.
Actually we do know the Joker's back story. Joker's original backstory is that he was a failed comedian forced into crime as The Red Hood to support his wife. Then Batman caused him to fall into a vat of acid which is how we got the Joker we love. Not really a "mystery" at all. People just don't pay attention to anything besides The Dark Knight apparently. This is more of a realistic scenario, obviously.

Joker hasn't been a mystery since the 50's. The only Joker that ever was a mystery was Heath Ledger's and that was because his "character" was more of an idea. What if there was someone who just wanted to watch the world burn for no reason?

It would be different if this were a lead up to a possible Batman movie, where as we would have to believe that the Joker is just psychotic for the sake of it. This isn't. This is a new view asking the question "what would have to happen to cause a person to become The Joker?" And it looks like it's doing a damn good job.

Joker's Origin has always been a sympathetic one. That isn't changing in this movie. It's just more down to earth.

So my brother knows I hate feet. Like, doing anything besides walking on them is basically a phobia.

One day I was in a Discord chat with him and his friends and they found it funny that I didn't know what "tsundere" meant. That then spawned a bunch of other Japanese terms they threw at me to see if I knew what they meant. Of course I didn't, but I googled each one to see what they were.

My terrible, awful, horrible, evil brother then told me the Japanese term for [REDACTED] without any context. I googled it, and was immediately given pictures of [REDACTED]. Apparently my genuine horrified reaction was "the funniest thing that happened in 2017."

I've been working on a rivals list for Smash (ala Street Fighter or PS All-Stars). I would love it if Smash adopted elements from All-Stars arcade mode (intro, rival battle, and ending cut-scenes). That would probably never happen, but either way I want to share my rivals list (subject to change depending on the DLC). My one rule is characters from the same franchise can't rival each other.

I’m sorry you had to go through that, but also I want to officially request all auto-censors be replaced with [REDACTED]

Not gonna lie, I remember screaming like a girl and physically shoving my laptop off my lap to get it away from me. More cusswords were said than any other words required to form a sentence.

No need for that. It happened, it's public. It's not like it's something nobody can see.

Basically, the dude turned out to be a PETA supporter. When people started telling him that PETA kills more animals than they save, and that they're a real ****ty "animal protection agency", he said, and I quote:

"I've never seen so many ignorant, complete ****ing hivemind dumbasses in one single ****ing place all at one time. Yeah...I'm done with this ****hole."
And nothing of value was lost.

Better late than never, as the saying goes.
Better Late Than Never, my favourite American reality TV show!

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of this show, and uh, definitely an interesting first impression.

Return the box, but filled with anthrax.

The mere existence of a foot doesn't bother me.

The use of it for anything besides walking bothers the **** out of me.

Also flip flops. **** those things.

Doesn't that "failed comedian" backstory come from The Killing Joke, where, in the exact same story, Joker claims to not remember his past, undermining the entire notion of the backstory?

I remember a quote from Joker saying he likes having a multiple choice backstory.

Actually I do.

I don't own a pair of sandals. So I wore Chucks to the beach on vacation and there was still sand in them like three months later.
