I'll be seeing it a second time today to catch more of the inside references I may have missed before. The lines and the visual "fingers" to Fox and Disney were brilliant.

Not even close. It's 5.2 times production budget while joker is 19.3 times production budget.

That’s nice, T. Good for thee.

Coping they are

Deadpool and Wolverine managed to get around the censors in China. (source: WSJ) Joker did not. That may close the budget to revenue gap.

Yes, if they gross around $3.8-Billion. Not even Avatar-2 grossed nearly that much.
