Which Joker Has Committed the Most Crimes?

/in /by

 

 

 

The Rap Sheet of Every Joker to Ever Appear on the Big Screen

Joker has a pretty bad history when it comes to committing crimes. Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight is the most violent Joker in cinema history. As he racked up over 30 counts of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted murder, armed robbery, and an additional 16 other serious crimes!

Heath Ledger’s Joker would serve a total of 2,445 years in the US, and 574 years in the UK! Therefore making him the worst criminal incarnation of the Joker in the franchises history!

While Cesar Romero’s Joker in the 1966 Batman film would recieve the shortest prison sentence of them all. With just 314 years served. While the bulk of that sentence would come from 15 counts of kidnapping. Consequently serving 225 years for those crimes alone.

So, to view the full set of crimes committed by each Joker in cinema history, check out the image below!

For more information, including the deadliest Batman in history, please click here!

Note.

For the UK statistics, the prison sentences for each character were calculated using mandatory sentencing guidelines published by The Crown Prosecution Service and The Sentencing Council for England and Wales.

For the US figures, the sentences were calculated using information from FindLaw.com. Crimes which were committed at a state, rather than federal level, were judged according to New York state law.

For serious crimes, we’ve assumed the Joker will serve consecutive sentences, i.e. 15 counts of X crime at 10 years each would be 150 years served.

Joker – 8 min Standing Ovation and Warnings

/in /by

 

Joker Praise and Criticism

So, Joker has been getting some rave reviews from critics at the Venice film festival. With reports stating that the Joker has received an EIGHT MINUTE standing ovation.

“This is Phoenix’s film,” declared The Hollywood Reporter, “and he inhabits it with an insanity by turns pitiful and fearsome in an out-there performance that’s no laughing matter.”

Furthermore, the The LA Times gave Joaquin Phoenix high praise for his performance stating he “delivers the kind of meticulously detailed psychotic breakdown that he does better than just about any American actor now working.”

(Pedestrian)

Joker Criticism

While others are criticising the film for glorifying violence and the film should come with warnings for those who watch it.

The Independent are worried that toxic men will see the film and think: “There’s nothing wrong with me. There is beauty in my chaos. I am the chaos. I am the beauty. The ends justify the means.”

Furthermore, others see the film as mirroring real life mass murderers.  The Telegraph: “a movie about a mentally ill loner who triggers mass violence is likely to draw parallels with the recent shootings in America”.

As, The Playlist echos many feelings that the film bolsters the angry white man ethos: “You see clearly how easily it could be (mis)interpreted and co-opted by the very 4Chan/Incel/’mentally ill loner’ element it purports to darkly satirise.”

(Radio Times)

See original article below:

There’s a FINAL trailer for the Joker movie has recently been released and it cements what we all believed before hand. It’s INCREDIBLE! This movie will definitely win some awards at the end of the year. It will become a one of the best DC movies to date. It’s Dark. Gritty. Gruesome and fantastic!

Joaquin Phoenix looks like he is going to be a stellar Joker. He has absolutely NAILED it. Cementing himself right up there with Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson. His interpretation of the Joker feels and looks frightening, exciting and absolutely insane. Bat Sh*t Crazy if you must. The stuff of nightmares. We’re all in!

Plot

We’re really keen to see the origin Joker story we cannot wait for the full movie!

Director Todd Phillips’ “Joker” centers around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone fictional story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fractured society. A clown-for-hire by day, he aspires to be a stand-up comic at night…but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty, Arthur makes one bad decision that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty character study. (Warner Bros)

As you can tell we’re very excited by this movie and keep an eye on HowToKillAnHour.com.

John Wick 3: Parabellum STUNTS!

/in /by

John Wick is back and he is badder than ever, we liked the first instalment. Also we loved the second instalment and we absolutely LOVED the third one. It was full of action from start to finish, incredible amounts of fun! The third instalment John Wick 3: Parabellum is out in cinemas and it looks incredibly cool. I mean John Wick chasing down a bad guy on a horse, you can’t get much cooler than that!

Plot for John Wick: Parabellum is below:

In this third instalment of the adrenaline fuelled action franchise, super-assassin John Wick (Reeves) returns with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail. After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin’s guild, the High Table, John Wick is excommunicado, but the world’s most ruthless hit men and women await his every turn. (Rotten Tomatoes)

Our very own Marcus Bronzy recently attended a special event set up by the guys at Lionsgate. But what was it doing? Well, there’s lots of stunts in John Wick 3 and as a result lots of action. We wanted in on the action. So Paul Swift (A very cool and very talented stuntman) took Marcus around in a Mustang and showed him what it’s like to be John Wick. Just like the movie, it was a lot of fun and we think we’re going to leave the stunts to Paul.

John Wick Hex

/in /by

A John Wick game has been announced to be in development! It’s a strategy game and it’s called John Wick Hex. It’s going to be available on Windows PC/Mac via the Epic Games Store and it’s also coming to consoles!

Good Shepard Entertainment announced that the upcoming game John Wick Hex, is being lead by game designer Mike Bithell. (Thomas Was Alone/Volume)

Be like John

Good Shepard Entertainment revealed via press release that John Wick Hex will be a ‘a fast-paced, action-oriented strategy game that makes you think and strike like, John Wick’.

Created in close cooperation with the creative and stunt teams behind the films, John Wick Hex is fight-choreographed chess brought to life as a video game, capturing the series’ signature gun fu style while expanding its story universe.

Players must choose every action and attack they make, while considering their immediate cost and consequences. Every move in John Wick Hex feels like a scene from the movies, and every fight contributes to your progress on the job and requires precise strategic thinking.

Realism

The story of the game is an original one, where ammo is finite and realistically simulated. So be conservative with your ammo, no spray and pray! Whilst you make your way through the game there will be chances to unlock new weapons, suit options and locations. Whilst these will change, dependent on how you play.

So far it has been revealed John Wick actors Ian McShane and Lance Reddick are involved. Whilst we hope many other actors join the cast of the game later!

However, there is no word yet on when the game will be released, but we hope we don’t have to wait too long!
