Screen Rant: Have you seen it Joker 2 yet? What did you think of this? I know a lot of people were divided on this, to say the least.
Todd McFarlane: Yes, I found it interesting. I spend time with Scott Silver, one of the guys who wrote it. I was having lunch with him and he said, “Did you see it?” I was like, “No, but I should.” So my wife and I went and saw it. I liked it more than she did.
I can understand some of the criticism while watching it, but just from making the movie and acting and everything, there were parts where I was like, “Wow, wow, wow.” Interestingly, I’ve gotten to the point where I say, “Oh, I see.” And with my ego - I'm going to expose my ego - I say, “Give me the whole film, put me in a room for three days and let me edit it.” I think there's a hybrid there that would work for what it was.
Again, I'm being completely biased and selfish here about what I thought would be in my head, but once I got in there with the insanity of the song, I think there's a way to go even more crazy. But that's just me. Some people saw it and weren't fans, and others loved it. I think it raises an opinion no matter who sees it.
