After seeing all of the backlash and negativity online against Austin being cast as Patrick Bateman in Luca Guadagnino's upcoming "American Psycho" film, here's just a friendly reminder of how the internet reacted back in 2006 when Heath Ledger was cast as The Joker in Christopher Nolan's film "The Dark Knight". 😏

🤭

The way people wanted Johnny Depp, Crispin Glover, Mark Hamill (what?? 🥴 Lol) or Christopher Walken lol.

The way people were saying that nobody would ever beat Jack Nicholson's portrayal of The Joker lol...🤭 all while not realizing that Nolan had a totally different vision in mind for his Batman film.

Does this all sound familiar??

Guess who got the last laugh? 😏

I don't know why people online don't just trust casting directors and let them do their jobs? 🥴 If Luca chose Austin for the role, it's for a good reason. Most people need to just trust the directors, because 9 times out of 10, they are 100% spot on with their casting choices, and they choose the best actor for a lead role, even if the public can't see that yet.

I also don't understand why people assume that just because an actor hasn't done a particular role before, that they should never do that type of role ever in life. How do you think other actors got to do those roles? They all had to start somewhere!

Anyway, reading these reactions to Heath being cast as The Joker back in 2006, and then knowing how he absolutely killed it in the film (to the point where he's now the standard) gives me the biggest chuckle. 🤣 I can't believe people were so rude back then.

They spoke way too soon. 🤭

Moral of the story? - Trust the Directors, people. They cast actors for certain roles for a reason. People online need to just sit back and trust the process.

Austin is an amazing talent, very dedicated, hard-working, and gives 110% to any role (no matter how small) he's given. I have full trust in him that he will actually probably shock people with this "American Psycho" role. 😊

He's always said that he loves to take on roles that challenge or scare him, so I'm so glad he's getting this chance to work with Luca! 😁

A thought I had…

What is Joker’s purpose for doing what he does? He’ll go on and on about “getting what he wants”, but what is he actually after? Fun? Chaos?

I don’t think it’s purely any of that, though he does take some pleasure in them. I think what he wants is for Batman to react. To break his moral code, to kill someone. Maybe to become someone akin to himself, even if it takes the Joker *himself* dying to achieve it. He wants to push Batman so far that he breaks.

Take some of Joker’s very first schemes and heists into consideration: he wasn’t having fun. He didn’t care if he succeeded in robbing a bank— didn’t care about the money or the fame much.

Joker is highly intelligent. He can create any device to suit his needs and can manipulate others very well. His ability to predict outcomes is incredible. Of course he’s bored! He doesn’t have something or someone to compete with. Even revealing his face and his name can’t give anyone an advantage against him. Until Batman comes along.

This man, also gadgety, intelligent and into theatrics (c’mon the whole bat-theme is a BIT dramatic), is probably the closest to his level he’s ever met. Obviously he declares Batman his rival.

Later, Joker obsesses over Batman to the point that he makes challenges that ONLY Batman can solve. To test him, see how he fares, and sees how he responds to different things. He wants to see how he works.

He doesn’t really care who Batman is under the cowl, because

1. Because it doesn’t really matter to him. And let’s be honest, he’s probably already figured out that it’s Bruce Wayne. He simply hasn’t revealed Batman’s true identity because it would take away his playmate. Batman is the kind of guy who would willingly go to prison (as long as there weren’t any rabid criminals loose at the moment).

2. He’s more interested in Batman’s mind and his ambitions.

Later in their stories, Joker almost EXCLUSIVELY targets Batman. Even if his schemes seem random or completely unrelated, his endgame is for Batman to confront him. Joker is testing Batman’s morality. Obviously Joker doesn’t care too much about casualties, but he *knows* it affects his rival. In some of Joker’s biggest schemes and crimes, he hurts or kills hundreds of innocents, or a person that is close to Batman himself.

(-SPOILER AHEAD for ‘Batman: Death in the Family’ and ‘Batman: Under the Red Hood’ and the aligning comics-) Skip to the “End of Spoiler” if you need to.

For example, Joker kidnaps Jason (Robin at the time) with an obvious goad for Batman to come after them. He beats Jason BRUTALLY— but not for fun or for his sadism, but to make Batman react. He kills Jason with the explosion, moments from when Batman could’ve saved his Robin. He WANTS Batman to be angry.

(-END OF SPOILER-)

Joker wants Batman to be pushed so far that he breaks his moral code— so that he breaks his spirit. And *Joker* wants to be the one to do it.

Through all of his testing, all of his trials, Joker truly thinks of Batman as his *one rival*, the only person who could even compete with him, let alone possibly beat him.

And even if Joker *is* killed in the process, he still wins, in his mind. HE is the one to make Batman fall. HE is the one to break him. He wins.

Anyway. Was writing something and this came to mind. I’ve been a DC fan foreverrrrrr and haven’t had anyone to rant this to that will understand wtf I’m going on about. Happy writing! (Or thinking, if I managed to break your brain. Whoops.)
