10 Reasons Why The Joker Isn’t a Protagonist

1. Even If He Gets A Movie, Don’t Make Him The Protagonist

There is one way to make a Joker movie and it was also the way they should have made the Venom movie. And the recipe is simple.

Make a horror movie, or a crime movie, and just make the Joker the antagonist. Focus the story against some random new character we’ve never met before and set the Joker after them. Put the stakes at life and death. This character isn’t famous, they might not survive and they certainly won’t win.

Make The Thing but with Venom as the monster loose in the base. Make In Bruges but that psycho mob boss who stalks them through the third act? That’s The Joker.

These characters are villains in all their best stories. Treat them like it.
