I enjoyed Joaquin's galaxy of intensity. Unfortunately the movie failed two central tasks: its realism attempt and convincing me this Joker is the same character we've seen elsewhere. Realism fled during the staging of the televised climax. As far as character consistency, I can't see sensitive, inept Arthur as the sadistic mastermind. Arthur had a good story, but connecting it to the others felt forced. Granted many years pass between Joker and The Dark Knight, he'll really need to focus up, essentially ratchet his IQ. So it felt distant from DC -- mostly Joaquin's show.
