I think the extended cut will do justice for Jared Leto's Joker.


I think and hope so.

I hope it's not 13 more minutes of Leto's Joker. I felt he drug the movie to a stop every time he was on the screen.

There was too much emphasis on him as it was. The main plot had nothing to do with Joker, so his side plot just felt tacked on. Side plots should connect in some way to the main plot. Basically, if you take out all of Joker's scenes, it wouldn't change the rest of the movie in any way. That's bad. It means that the Joker stuff is meaningless. More meaninglessness doesn't make it better.

There is no way that 13 minutes or more can take away his previous scenes and his awful performance. It won't magically change them and make anyone like them if they didn't before.


Rodents of Unusual Size?...I don't think they exist.

What could help his performance was extending the scenes that are already are in the movie.

Each of his scenes was so small, quick and out of context that we would like to see a complete scene that would make sense in the context of the movie. We would like to know the reasons behind his actions,

His scenes were so bad edited that we don't know why he does what he does.

Do you know why he tortures Harley Quinn?

Joker was one of the only good things about this movie. I hope all 13 minutes are him lol

Is 13 minutes really all that there was added to the extended cut?? Wow. I'm fairly certain I recall Leto saying they shot like 2 hours worth of footage of The Joker, and ended up with like 8 minutes of screen time? Yeah I doubt 13 minutes is going to do much for him, especially when a chunk of that time will service other characters too.
