The Joker trailer looks awesome. A story. With characters. No scenes entirely comprised of CGI. Give me more of this, please.

"The Killing Joke" backstory is still the most commonly referenced, but who knows...even that one is sketchy at best. It's fun for fans to choose to believe as much or none of it as they choose. Maybe his most famous line from the comics is "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!" It wouldn't surprise me if the movie ends with something like him talking to a psychyatrist at Arkham saying "you can believe all this or not."
