Joker:
Far from the great special effects to which we are usually accustomed to when we talk about the world of superheroes, as we have seen in MCU movies and even recent DC movies like ' Aquaman', ' Joker ' brings us an intimate and very different vision of one of the greatest villains of the cinema industry, and also one of the greatest in the comic culture. This is undoubtedly a risky bet that still had the arduous task of going through the very harsh filter of critics. And such a way it made it without any difficulty, it even has been praised by them, something that's honestly not very common in the industry. These days, one of the great cinematographic events of the year is celebrated in the emblematic city of Venice, in Italy. The Venice Film Festival of this 2019 has hosted all kinds of new films, some of them were big hits, some of them were not, and among the lot, of course, is the latest adaptation of the Joker character to the big screen, which has been highly anticipated from the very moment it's making was confirmed. As you know, the film premiered a few months, letting us see how Joaquin Phoenix, its protagonist, was transformed into the slightly freaky (about to be the biggest freak of all times) Arthur Fleck, a man dedicated to making others laugh and give entertainment, but there's something a bit off in Arthur's head, whose personality is already somehow disturbed, and leads him to end up obscuring completely after the difficulties he encounters in his life become way too much and make him crack entirely, until he becomes the iconic criminal we all know. But that is precisely what ' Joker' pursues from its beginning: show the world not the villain character that we have already seen in the comics and that makes Batman's impossible life, that quite dark man that's responsible for the most twisted and almost sadistic crimes of all times, but his transformation process until he reaches that dark point of no return, discovering that there's actually a human being behind the clown mask, and explaining what lead him to become what he is nowadays, as we know him. This vision so different and far from the style of superhero movies clashed at the beginning with many fans (and even Warner Bros. that apparently at the beginning was quite reluctant to the idea of ​​making this film). However, the first critics of the film are showing that Todd Phillips, its director, has not only hit the center of the target: perhaps Joker becomes one of the most important installments of his career. This is at least assured by experts who have already seen the film in Venice, where everything is praise and applause right now. The movie had already gained very positive words such as «Artwork», «a before and after», «perhaps the world is not prepared for this» or «the Joker we deserve» and these are just some of the expressions that we have been able to collect from people who have already been able to enjoy the film, which highlights, of course, a Joaquin Phoenix in true state of grace-eye that already speaks of him as a candidate for the Oscars, judging by the words given by the critics. Just a few days ago ' Joker' premiered its final trailer. The preview lets us see new images of the film and especially more stellar Phoenix moments, in addition to the appearance of characters that did not appear in the first video. Another visual delight to open your face to its premiere, scheduled for October 4th.

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn):
This is a very odd and intriguing movie that was put together for a TV movie. It's definitely the type of thing you want to keep to yourself, even if your family isn't into the comic book world. Though it's a bit odd, it is well worth watching. As usual, the Birds of Prey are in the city, but there are two other visitors who come with them. One is a mugger and the other a gangster. This is one place where "mercy" is definitely not the word for the entire season. Harley Quinn's only goal is to find out who is responsible for the mugging and revenge and the setting off of a gun. All she needs is to find out the identity of the person who is causing her misery and then she'll be able to take care of the people who are trying to make it so she can no longer see. In the meantime, she uses the gun to do a little exploration. What the film lacks in subtlety it makes up for in action. The scenes with the mugger and the police are set to great music and the action scene with the gun is terrific. In all, this is a terrific and enjoyable flick. Many of the characters have an amazing amount of comic-book-like qualities. One of the biggest is the Joker. He appears only as an idea and is just one of the many side characters in the series. His costume is very much the same as he has in the comics. A recurring character is Dr. Harleen Quinzel. She provides medical advice and assists Harley Quinn, as the most skilled of the Birds of Prey. Overall, The Birds of Prey is a satisfying, if somewhat odd movie. It's fun and surprising. You'll probably be eager to watch it, but you might need a little push to do so. If you're up for it, and if you haven't seen the series, you'll be in for a treat.

Se7en:
Though 'The Dark Knight' was a very successful blockbuster movie in its time, it did not get the recognition it deserved as a sequel or a spin-off to the well-known Christopher Nolan's 'Batman' series. The movie was critically acclaimed and it was lauded for portraying the dark side of Batman while still keeping him interesting. In fact, the reception towards the movie was so good that it was dubbed as a 'sequel' to 'The Dark Knight'. So, now the question is where does 'The Dark Knight' fit into the Hollywood saga. The first step to go in is to determine the timeline of the franchise. Batman has been around since his first appearance in 'Detective Comics #27' published in 1939. He had a spectacular debut as the dark knight in this graphic novel that further made him popular as the Caped Crusader. Then, one can look at the features of the second installment of the Superman franchise, which is set to be released in July 2020. The film is going to have an older version of Superman while others say that the film will portray a darker Superman than his previous outings. Whatever the case, the films for this franchise are going to be set in the year the character's universe was introduced in the comic book. As for 'The Dark Knight', the film had a moderate opening weekend but it has done phenomenally well in the box office. This is good news for the producers and the studio as they have now been assured of getting a sequel. Once the second installment rolls out, 'The Dark Knight' will become the third member of the 'Dark Knight Saga'. A movie based on the 'Batman' sequel is certainly going to have a lot of similarities to the earlier movies in the franchise, but as we said before, it will be set in the year 2020. This means that the fans will have to wait for eight years to catch up with thestoryline of the second installment. But then, it is expected that most fans are more comfortable with the fact that the sequels are set in the present day. If the studio is smart enough, the next installment of the 'Batman' saga may be split into two parts. The first part of the sequel could be called 'Batman: The Brave and the Bold' and the second part will be 'Bane of the Century'. However, the prequel series is just a fan service and fans can expect the Batman film to continue on from the storylines of the first two series. A lot of people are suggesting that 'The Dark Knight' can be viewed as a prequel to the 'Bane of the Century' which is a sequel to the original series. But then, it is a fact that there was no new version of Bane in the latest chapter of the comic book series. This means that the makers will be going back to the earlier storyline and that is going to make fans excited. With so many versions of the movies already out, it does not make much sense to set up another one. It is expected that 'The Dark Knight' will be considered as a spin-off of the 'Batman' franchise. So, the next installment is not going to be as thrilling as the original and it will be the best to wait for the sequel of 'Bane of the Century' to be released in 2020.
