I can't figure out if he's a good actor who makes terrible career decisions or a less hilarious Nicholas Cage.

I'm pretty sure Val Kilmer is awful. Like Christian Slater. Not sure how either of them managed to sustain a career. At least Cage is super interesting to watch.

Isn't Cage supposed to have indie movie parts that are critically praised?

I don't know. But I'm told Bringing Out The Dead is a legit good Cage movie.'

Bruh. Nicolas Cage as the Joker. It would be terribad but it would change the face of Batman movies. We could bring back some camp into superhero movies without sacrificing awesomeness.

I'd watch that. I saw Leto as the joker in a trailer and decided to give it a hard pass forever. Nicholas Cage seems born for that role. Leto absolutely not so.

Leto sucked. The weirdo gangster direction they wrote for him really didn't help but he did nothing to bring it to life. You're not missing anything.

I'd be curious about a rated-R Batman movie with the comic version of the Joker where he cut off his face and then wore it as a mask to destroy whatever remained of his humanity. It went a bit far in the direction of grimdark but was still menacing as ****. No idea who would play that part though.

You see the new joker from that new joker movie?

No idea what you're talking about.
