Really disappointment there won't be a director's cut. Oh well, sometimes stuff can ultimately detract from the whole.
Joaquin Phoenix & Todd Phillips on the 'Joker' Scene That Was Hardest to Cut
Is there more footage of Joaquin Phoenix's chilling take on Joker available? Will Todd Phillips ever release a director's cut?
Bane playing second fiddle to Talia was inexcusable, but TDKR was absolutely a step back in the right direction by having Bane return to being well spoken and rather intelligent.
I recall Long Halloween having the Harvey "side" of him be incredibly bitter and angry, too, in fact the biggest mystery of that series was whether Harvey was the true serial killer and whether he inherited his father's mental illness. The entire point of Two-Face is questioning whether that evil pettiness was there all along and Harvey just hid it. TDK did a very good job of translating that into Nolan's slightly more grounded and realistic take on Batman. I've never thought TDK's Two-Face was bad, I'm surprised people think that.

Bane being played by a midget who only communicates exclusively through flatulence would be a step up from his live action appearance in Batman and Robin. But yeah, the character in TDKR was alright, he just shouldn't have been Bane.
I mean, in a way you're correct. Bane and Doomsday both appeared in the comics right around the same time when DC wanted to "mix things up" (By breaking Batman's back and killing Superman, both changes that didn't stick.) Not sure I can agree that he's overrated though.
I thought it was a decent reinterpretation. If Tom Hardy wasn't unintelligible and a white knight for Talia, he'd probably be my favorite Nolan villain. The "do you feel in charge" scene was Bane incarnate.

You could have taken Talia out of that movie and the whole thing especially the ending would have been better. Even her death scene was pathetic. It seriously pissed me off how much they fucked bane's character by the end of the movie. The best way to kill him would have been breaking his back and/or mask and leaving him to die, with the same "I'm not going to kill you but I don't have to save you either" theme that Nolan's trilogy had. Talia and Cat Woman both made the climax, Bane vs Batman, so much worse.
And people wonder why they used to say that women were too emotional for the vote.
Sorry incels, Captain Marvel still has a higher critic rating than Joker (ignore the problematic audience ratings though), and a shitty ladies only version of rotten tomatoes nobody's ever heard of didn't like it, therefore the ladies won this time. (And that's ok!)
Will you sleep with me now ladies?
Joker v. Captain Marvel: This Time the Ladies Won (And That’s Okay)
Joker (2018) is, by all accounts, a rousing success. Having now been almost entirely shunted from theaters after its eighth week of release, the movie
