True. And bashing a comic movie for diffent takes on a character is asinine. Comics have always recycled and reused characters. That's a staple of comics. Every Batman comic is not linear and in the same universe. That's one of the beautiful things about comics.

Yes, but people view movies as a separate thing, not as an extension of the universe.

Most people with negative reactions probably want to see the Joker they've loved on the screen, rather than an Elseworlds or Earth 2 version. When movies can move and shake as much as comics, maybe this goes away.

But this is probably the only Joker for the next few years, so people want some more concrete, more in line with what they know.

Comics can be varied because you can have 2 Joker stories going on at the same time, then, with a new writer, get a new version the next year. That isn't the case with movies.

If this turns out to be a really good movie, it would be kind of cool to have a Joker sequel and maybe introduce Batman in that.

Also, was there any hint in the trailer why he was visiting Arkham?

i mean, literally every single joker that has appeared on screen has been pretty different than the previous version
