All of us DC fans were surprised and a little bit worried, when it was announced that a Joker movie outside of the DCEU had been scheduled to be released in 2019. Though the worrying had died down a little bit once the man portraying The Joker was revealed to be Joaquin Phoenix, it still wasn't enough......until we saw the set that is! This new Joker is apparently causing havoc in a New York subway set in the 80's and guess this,.... there's no Batman to stop him this time. Critics were really impressed to see this new take on this iconic character, but the film's praise was cut short and it's not even in theatres yet. According to an inside source; Revenge Of The Fans, this movie will be nothing like we expect it to be...and in the negative sense. I say this is negative, but to some it may be a positive thing. The reason why I say this is negative is because, the film is said to commentate on issues pertaining to our current presidential situation and as we all know there's never really anything good when it comes to Donald Trump, so why would we waste a potential good movie talking about a man who thinks he can do know wrong; we'll never get through to him, so there is no use. Plus making a movie about The Joker doesn't need to turn into a political PSA, if anything somebody should be doing a PSA on how twisted this movie's going to be. Anyways, I can see why some people see this as a positive choice or even an interesting one, in theory if you have the most crazed individual of the comic book world; shed some light about what Trump is doing, it will allow the audience to not only be informed so that they can do something about the problem at hand, but people have the opportunity to see Joker in a completely unique fashion.
I’m not super into the idea of this movie being about Trump. I think if they really want to make a political psa they should just be straightforward and just make a movie about current political issues? It would defiantly make more sense that way.

I didn't even know they were coming out with the movie, hopefully it won't be bad, since it's will touch the topic on our current president.
