QuoteJonathan Nolan: He [Batman] has this one rule, as the Joker says in The Dark Knight. But he does wind up breaking it. Does he break it in the third film?

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.

I haven't followed every single bit of this. But this knew Leto Joker stuff takes place in the Knightmare era, right?

So Charisma Carpenter has named some specifics about Whedon's behavior on the sets of Buffy and Angel. General bullying and intimidation, body shaming, anti-religious (anti-Catholic?) harassment, etc.





Basically, in two tweets, she's been far more specific than Ray Fisher.

Honestly? I tend to believe her. (A) It's not like she has anything to gain here and (B) rumors about how badly she was treated on those shows have floated around for YEARS. Never with the degree of specificity that she's provided here. It was always more like "Whedon was a major league a-hole to Carpenter". One can surmise that others experienced similar treatment.

Frankly, I've always thought Sarah Michelle Gellar's silence was deafening. Buffy was her big break and she got a lot of work from that. A career, let's face it. So in theory, she owes Whedon. He trusted her despite her youth and relative lack of experience at the time. The fact that all was quiet on the western front with Gellar told me everything I needed to know about Whedon.

Yes, the MCU cast's silence says a lot too but nowhere near as much as SMG, imo.

Yes.

Charisma Carpenter's story about Whedon is horrendous. And now, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michele Trachtenberg and Amber Benson have come out to show their support.

Whedon is even worse than many people thought. I've come to realise there was merit in the outrage over Black Widow in AOU after all.

Intriguing photos, although a bit Ledgery too.

No doubt, this is a make 'make it or break it' moment for Leto's Joker. Either it's going to fall flat, or it's going to cause people to really question just what the hell happened to his (evidently severely edited) performance/scenes in Suicide Squad? Which, as a consequence, would probably result in even more of a vocal call for Ayer's cut of SS. Just to see more of Leto as the Joker. Even if the divided opinion of his overall aesthetic appearance in SS remains firmly intact.
"Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is."

This moment stuck out to me. Wow!

It's sticking out to a lot of people. I think the only black suit thing we've seen is the meeting with Alfred. This is new. And looks cool.

There are a couple of other moments with him in the suit from the first trailer.

Damn, that's a badass clip. I don't think I wanna watch anything or hear anything until the movie comes out. I want to experience it as fresh as possible when it releases.

I'm so excited for this movie. Man, I can't wait!

Some reactions have been completely predictable:



Um, yeah. Good luck with that.



Why isn't he smiling? Where is the color? I mean, those are indispensable qualities of Superman, right?
