>>7526244Actually the Joker is supposed to be a spry fucking old man. If you look at Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson, Jack Nicholson was 24 years older than the Batman. Also for Adam West and Cesar Romero, Cesar Romero was 21 years older, and frankly looked much more.
While it's true that Heath Ledger was a year younger than Christian Bale, that can be explained away by the fact that that movie was a terrible trash fire made by a hack that didn't respect the Batman universe in the slightest.
Of course you know Joaquin Phoenix will be in the next Batman shitpile set in the present day, with no explanation about how he hasn't aged, probably costarring Ben Affleck who's 2 years older than him. But fuck Hollywood
