The Laughing Man (2016)

Plot:

With no fingerprints or identification, the strange man presents himself as a new patientโ€”whom the resident psychiatrist isnโ€™t quite sure how to assess.

The Laughing Man is a joker themed fan film inspired by the events in the recent Batman story “Death of the Family”.

The Laughing Man (2016) – A Joker Fan Film

I was curious about this because I really like the concept of the Joker. My brother knew it so he sent me the link. It was very different than what I was expecting but it really got me curious about the New 52.I haven’t really read enough to be knowledgeable about it. Before I saw this, I didn’t think I would be. One of the things I’ve always liked about the Batman Rogues Gallery was that they were only villains that could arguably be horror villains. This was the proof. I was really intrigued by the portrayal of the Joker, because he really didn’t seem like he was criminally insane to me. But rather he was a personification of evil. As subdued as the actor was, there was this sense of him guiding along Harley like a vampire would one of their victims. It is, however, not for the faint of heart. It’s the most violent version that I have ever seen. It’s the perfect psychological thriller short.
