What's the over / under that the ending scene is Joker killing Bruce Wayne's parents?

In this movie it looks like it. The kid behind the fence is a young Bruce Wayne.

My avatar approves.
That's also probably the most tantalizing trailer I've ever seen in my life. Part of the brilliance is that you know this winds up with gore and mayhem but yet he seems so vulnerable and innocent. The transition will be epic. |

Holy shit. Didn’t realize this has a Scorsese/DeNiro connection to the brilliant ‘King of comedy’ from the 80s. Wow
I think I can even see a little ‘Taxi Driver’ mixed in. http://www.darkhorizons.com/de-niro-...f-comedy-link/

Movie seems to be less comic book and more early Scorsese https://www.washingtonpost.com/ampht...arly-scorsese/ Phillips and Phoenix are delivering a true character study — a stand-alone comic-book movie that looks more like a gritty Martin Scorsese portrait of a cackling outcast as he begins to crack up on the city’s mean streets. This seems to be the stuff of pre-“Casino” Robert De Niro, who fittingly happens to co-star in “Joker.” This is the textured take of a searching loser coming apart on the urban fringes — a wannabe stand-up celebrity who seems to share cinematic DNA with two iconic Scorsese/De Niro creations: Travis Bickle (“Taxi Driver”) and Rupert Pupkin (“The King of Comedy”).

eh, can't say the trailer did much for me. To be honest, looks a little boring. Guess we will see.
I noticed some here are comparing it to Scorsese flicks. That might explain why the trailer didn't really appeal to me. Never been a fan of his style.

Backstory-based movies like The Joker have so much potential and this guy can masterfully develop every last part. |
