Jokers Wild

When I first heard David Howard Thornton (the actor who plays the legendary Art the Clown) was doing his own spin on the Joker, I was so fricking thrilled that I almost p*ssed myself in pure excitement! So I looked up this movie on YouTube and watched it, and let me tell you... David Howard Thornton DID NOT disappoint AT ALL!

The Joker in this short film is ruthless like he should be, and David Howard Thornton is the PERFECT casting choice for this version of him! DC needs to hire this man one day to portray a more sinister Joker! I mean, don't get me wrong, The Joker (2019) was amazing too, but I feel like if they actually hire the man who plays Art the Clown from the Terrifier franchise to play The Joker, the fans (myself included) would be in a frenzy. I hadn't even heard of this short film before it was recommended to me! Why did this fly under my radar? I love Art the Clown! He's probably the most memorable horror villain as of right now! The dude NAILS IT as The Joker in this movie!

For the ones who haven't seen this, please go check it out! It deserves the attention it is getting! If there is more of Jokers Wild, I will definitely be there watching it!

As a long time fan of the DC comic book representation of the Joker the short movie 'Jokers Wild' was a delightful treat. David Howard Thornton is hilarious in a role that he was born to play, the cinematography is beautifully done and Joel LeBlanc's performance as the tormented Jason Todd is extremely powerful. Some moments will leave you unable to look away from the fantastic performance of both actors. We NEED TO SEE DAVID JOKER AGAIN! David's performance as the clown prince of crime isn't something that the DCU has presented in film yet, but if you love the iconic Mark Hamill Joker from Batman The Animated Series then you'll definitely be enamoured with David's portrayal as the Joker.

A short film put together to showcase the acting skills of two great individuals, combines a supervillain ( Joker) and superhero (Robin). A mixture of suspense, horror and dark comedy makes this short film artistic and creative in many ways. The makeup is a creative take on the Joker utilizing prosthetics to achieve the look. I thought the film had a good amount of suspense mixed with dark comedy and the performance of both main actors was wonderful. The actors really got into their characters and told the short story very well!

All in all job well done to everyone involved in making this film.

Truly fascinating work, one of my favorite Jokers in media so far.

Acting? Amazing!! I'll l be honest, I didn't know anyone other than David Howard Thornton and he was the main reason I wanted to watch this, (that and i am a DC Batman fan to my core), and i was so pleased with the other actors and their choices to their characters.

The use of light and shadow was so grate and fun, even though they didn't show much i feel like that is exactly the point to make you feel kind of claustrophobic to make everything more intense and Oh how it works.

This is so far one of my favorite projects of the year, and i hope it will make people care more about the "fan projects"and the different ideas and visions of beloved characters, even though this one is a villain.

D. Thorton did an amazing performance with a JOKER that absolutely stunning, I do enjoy batman but Joker & Penguin are the top two villians that I personally believe they're not villians to me, they're the antagonist of goods. The runtime is extremely short like 12 minutes without credits and a extra 56 seconds with the credits, the credits is more like thanking the cast and crew production team to help make this short without dealing with a full length feature film which was a good idea to be a short film. At the end of the short Batman showed up without seeing his face, Robin did not recognize who he was. So yeah, Jokers wild was a 9.8/10.
