Joker
At least the joker isn't a big part of the trailer. That upset a lot of people with the last movie.
shareIs this movie still in the ill-fated Leto's Joker universe?
shareNot sure. All I know is that people wanted more joker, but not leto joker.
shareBut from the leaflet on the wall (in the trailer) the joker looks like Leto's Joker and not Phoenix's Joker.
Well, probably this movie was shot with Leto's Joker in mind but they scrapped that.
It was apparently a stand in cause Leto was making Morbius. I think Leto did some ADR so its his voice
shareWhat is ADR?
shareAutomated dialogue replacement or in simpler terms voice work after production usually for promos or to add during a scene last min
shareNot necessarily “last minute”. Most films utilize massive amounts of ADR during post production for a number of reasons. This is why you almost never notice dialogue-related audio issues in a film. This stuff is worked and polished until it’s as clean and professional as humanly possible. In fact, I’d say that on your average film, far more post work goes into the audio mix than the image (with the exception of vfx-heavy movies like Avatar, of course).
shareOh, it was a scheduling conflict, was it?
Yeah, the other cast members hated Leto, his reviews were bad, and audiences hated him in the role. Good thing he had a scheduling conflict.
That Joker wasn't Leto's fault.
It was in a Frank Miller "Hardcore" Batman series where Batman said things like, "I'm fucking Batman" and killed a lot of people. The Joker in that story looked just like Leto and had no personality traits associated with insane mania.
Yea... it's not all Leto's fault.
However, when an actor played a character and it worked tremendously well (e.g., Ledger's Joker) the actor got all the praises and awards.
So when it didn't work, it's only fair that the actor also would recieve all the criticisms and complaints.
Can't have one without the possibility of getting the other.
