Let me preface this review by admitting that I am not a DC fan girl. I know the basic Bruce Wayne premise, and grew up with Jack Nicholson ‘s Joker in the Michael Keaton Batman era. More comic book, less gritty. This version of Joker is bleak, an examination of decompensating mental illness. Pretty violent while maintaining a dreamlike quality. It kept me interested but left me depressed.
