JOKER on the Cover of EMPIRE

2968

While we are right in the middle of the Summer 2019 movie season, director Todd Phillips’ JOKER — starring Joaquin Phoenix as “Arthur Fleck” — is coming in October and graces the cover of EMPIRE.  Check it out…

Very cool, but really nothing we haven’t seen before, right?

While won’t know if JOKER is my cup of tea until I see it in 3 months (let’s just say that I know A LOT about it because I learned how to READ, if you get my drift), I applaud Warner Bros. for doing something very different with the comic book movie genre.  In fact, I hope they keep taking chances with more one-off DC movies that take, well, chances like this one. – Bill “Jett” Ramey

JOKER hits theaters on October 4, 2019!

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
