Before watching this i used to believe we live in a society
After watching this,i now realize that society....lives in US 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Really cool documentary, honestly some really interesting stuff and Batman himself (Kevin Conroy) narrates.
8/10
Still coming off the DC Fandome high and this was a nice free treat from iTunes. I’ll never get tired of new Joker content. He really is timeless and an icon! The one and only clown prince of crime will live on forever 🤡
Jared Leto: The Joker to me is Hamlet.
The best thing this too short to be that effective documentary does is juxtapose Jared Leto’s full-on method acted Joker with Zach Galifianakis’ ‘for giggles’ Joker and make it patently obvious that The Lego Batman Movie did more with the character in brick form than Leto did in surrendering his entire being to the character. Sometimes all Joker really needs to work is a solid gag, not a full-on psychologically corrosive deep-dive.

“Here’s to crime.”
Released for free on iTunes in celebration of DC Fandome. Joker: Put On a Happy Face is a 30 minute documentary celebrating one of the most iconic villains of all time.
Excellently narrated by the Batman himself: Kevin Conroy this documentary is fairly basic and is comprised basically of previous interviews from various comic book documentaries and TV/film behind the scenes. Which meant unfortunately I had seen most of it before and being into the source material I knew a lot of it already.
They do cram a lot into the runtime, going from the Joker’s comic book origins all the way to Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal last year. The presentation of the documentary is impressive…
An amazing look at Joker throughout history and in media. Kevin Conroy does an excellent job narrating this documentary.
Nowhere near as detailed or as in-depth as the titular subject matter deserved, 'Joker: Put On a Happy Face' is basically what the free price tag promises: a Wikipedia article being read to you for 40-minutes with old interviews (some of which have not aged well) spliced in between. This would have benefited from a longer runtime, a bigger budget and a much more deeper analysis of the Joker.
Joker just simply is the greatest super villain of all time.
Thank you guys so much for 1000 followers. It really means something to me, that you are interested in my thoughts about movies.
A very informative and insightful look into the history of the most iconic villain of all time which has endless potential to be explored even more in the future.
A short but very sweet look at ‘Joker’, arguably the greatest supervillain of them all. 80 years of comics, TV shows, animated series’ and motion pictures crammed into a 35 minute documentary just emphasises the remarkable talent responsible for bringing this well loved and respected character to life.

Jeder der schonmal ein Special über den Joker auf irgendeiner DVD gesehen hat, bekommt hier nichts neues.
In 30 Minuten grasen sie alle bekannten Inkarnationen ab, wobei sie die meines Erachtens beste mit Nichtbeachtung strafen.
Für Neulinge OK, alle anderen haben nur ein müdes Lächeln übrig.

Astounding. They've finally done it... they've finally made a comic book pop-culture documentary without having Kevin Smith as a talking head. We've entered a kinder and gentler society.
A good, interesting, and albeit too short documentary about the Clown Prince Of Crime and his evolution over the years. Joker was one of my dream roles as an actor, until I saw Joaquin Phoenix’s performance; now I’d never go anywhere near the role. The laugh and the psychological trauma to be explored through the character is filled with almost an infinite amount of emotional depth. Much like Iago, Joker is one of those nuanced roles with inherent characteristics and there’s always a new interpretation waiting to be unearthed; however Joaquin Phoenix is one of my heroes and the ghost of his performance would loom too large over it for me to even attempt it. I just realized I went…
Standard BTS style look at the character... for filthy casuals who are only aware of him from the live action abominations.
Really interesting learning about the history of one of the greatest villains of all time.
