Interesting quote from the indiewire review

Quote:
“Joker” is the human-sized and adult-oriented comic book movie that Marvel critics have been clamoring for — there’s no action, no spandex, no obvious visual effects, and the whole thing is so gritty and serious that DCEU fanboys will feel as if they’ve died and seen the Snyder Cut — but it’s also the worst-case scenario for the rest of the film world, as it points towards a grim future in which the inmates have taken over the asylum, and even the most repulsive of mid-budget character studies can be massive hits (and Oscar contenders) so long as they’re at least tangentially related to some popular intellectual property. The next “Lost in Translation” will be about Black Widow and Howard Stark spending a weekend together at a Sokovia hotel; the next “Carol” will be an achingly beautiful period drama about young Valkyrie falling in love with a blonde woman she meets in an Asgardian department store.


Joker succeeding would definitely open the door for taking superhero films and trying something a little different genre wise, because at the end of the day it's still a superhero film. For tired franchises like X-Men and Fantastic Four, you're already looking at potential flops doing it the normal way, so why not? I think trying solo Hulk one more time and making it Beauty and the Beast instead of King Kong would have potential

I feel like, despite #MeToo movement, Roman Polanski's runner-up status at Venice is the real winner here, he might even take the first place if he has clean record.
But if that happened Phoenix will have a higher chance at winning best actor award (Volpi Cup) instead.

Holy shit if this actually ends up opening higher than It: Chapter 2. I never would have seen that coming if you would have asked me a couple of months ago, but the hype is definitely there for this.


I wouldn't have thought so either. However it is just about a given now!
