EP252 | Joker 3, Digger, Steve Buscemi, Mambo No. 5 | PULP FILM PODCAST

But anyway, on my way back from Clayface, and our review is out now.

Should be.

I've done my job.

And I was thinking about the DCU, and I was like, we talked about Clayface and what worked, what didn't work about it.

And I was like, I was mourning how much I thought Joker made such a great impact because of how...

I think the ending is really powerful of Joker because I think you spend two hours indulging in a madman's delusion and the ending is like a consequence of what happens.

Yes, he's let down by the system and he's underfunded and whatever's wrong with Gotham, he's lied to by bad parenting.

All of that counts.

but there's like a really horrible moment at the end of that movie where he becomes Joker, right? We then got Joker 2, which everyone can agree was rubbish.

Totally rubbish.

Really, really bad.

And I was so disappointed because I'm like, there's something really special about what Joker 1 was.

I think it was really deeply impactful.

I remember being quite shook about it.

And then I was thinking like, you know what they should have done, right? Joker 1, leave as is, perfect.

You've built the Joker, as we all know, okay? Joker 2, okay, opens with him in Arkham.

You know, he's crazy, he's locked up.

Boom, break him out of there within 20 minutes.

Brilliant.

He then becomes the version...

He then becomes this mafioso crime boss, and it's the whole of the second film... is him basically running away with crime in Gotham.

And he's this weird person.

He used to be this insular, ignored, rejected part of society.

All of a sudden, he's taking down Falcone.

He's taking down all these other groups.
