Not wasting my time on it. DC needs to release three consecutive movies that achieve at least 75% on the Tomatometer before I think about giving them another chance. Joker just sets the count back to zero, like Aquaman before it.

That's an interesting take. Can't you just enjoy it as a stand-alone film? I was kind of against the idea of a Joker origin movie, because he's always been, from my time in the world of comics at least, a total mystery, and I wasn't keen on potentially taking a journey into the mind of an idiot to see their take on story that had never been told. And back to your stance: Isn't this movie it's own separate thing? Insofar as it has nothing to do with the ugly mess that is (was?) the DCCU? Anywhoo, please don't read this as aggro. I can assure you I'm in my pajamas smoking a pipe.

Being stand-alone doesn't help it; I lost confidence in DC's film-making a long time ago.  Regardless of a film's individual quality (and Joker fell short of the mark), they are going to have to prove themselves capable of consistently meeting a reasonable standard before I give them another chance.
