Letter to New Statesman
13 November 2019:
Ryan Gilbey complains in his review of Joker ("No laughing matter," 4 October) that the film gives us "no glimpses of the super rats which we are told have been running amok in Gotham City." Gilbey's eyes must have glazed over when he arrived at the inevitable scene in which Bruce Wayne's parents are mugged and murdered. Having seen this, shot for shot, in every other Batman movie, and bored to tears at the prospect of seeing it again, my eyes were beginning to acquire a glass of their own -- when they descried the giant rodent parading in the background.
