LEGO has a lock on pop culture. 2019 represents a yearlong celebration of Batman’s 80th anniversary. Releasing a set featuring an iconic Batmobile makes sense. LEGO chose a replica of the cape crusader’s ride from the 1989 Tim Burton film. The movie just happens to be celebrating its 30th anniversary. Holy perfect nostalgic timing, Batman!
JOKER
David Harbour is the Grouch we Need
David Harbour is an actor best known for his role as Chief Hopper in the Netflix series Stranger Things. Joaquin Phoenix’s multilayered performance in the movie Joker garnered critical praise. Oscar the Grouch is internationally revered for his cantankerous ways on the beloved children’s series, Sesame Street. NBC’s long running satire show, Saturday Night Live, has inexplicably managed to combine all of the above.
JOKER trailer reveals a Gritty, Character-Driven Tale
JOKER represents a new direction for the DC Cinema Extended Universe. Joaquin Phoenix plays the title role in this gritty origin story of the clown prince of crime. Yet unlike the special effects driven comic book based movies of the past, this feature film seems razor-focused on character development. In short, the actors’ performances are the special effects. Joaquin Phoenix’s decision to take on the title role in JOKER bodes well for what may well be a potential Oscar worthy tale. The latest teaser trailer will only elevate the hype.
