- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The comic, to me, could have ended on the second panel, and I would have been satisfied with that.
Joker is a decent movie, but it could have been a standalone film. Why use the characters and setting from DC but not utilise them fully or even properly?
It seemed like the film was ashamed to admit it was a comic book movie while also needing the DC label to survive the studio pitch and succeed at the box office.
I regretted seeing the movie based solely on strong word of mouth, rather than doing my own research. But at least it made me avoid the sequel which, according to word of mouth, crashed and burned, taking the apparent love and reverence for the first instalment along with it.
