If you're influenced by a comic book movie... you have much bigger and overarching mental illness problems.
This stuff happens.

Im getting a lot of Cape Fear and Taxi Driver vibes. I'm sure that's why Phillips cast De Niro in this. It's a nod to those movies.
Didn't Scorsese produce this, or was going to produce it?

The studio wanted Scorsese in so that they could get DiCaprio to play the Joker. Philips was dead-set on Phoenix, so they didn't push the Scorsese film.
Philips and Phoenix both had the same thoughts on superhero films. No franchises, just do a grounded solo story and move on. Philips was one of the guys to lobby Warner to make lower budget DC films outside of the DCEU.

Agreed, and there are a lot of those people out there right now. I don't think the movie should be censored and I'm strongly opposed to censorship overall. However, after watching that clip, I'm getting bad vibes from the movie, legit think it might influence some already crazy people to do something crazy.

Several rottens today. Some of these critics just won't stop with this nonsense.

Couldn’t have sold me this movie better if he’d tried. This sounds perfect.

I think outrage ends up needing an emotional outlet so people end up saying irrational stuff. Certainly the coverage of real criminals is a problem worth talking about since murderers shouldn't enjoy celebrity. But an inability of critics to separate fiction from reality is a mental deficiency IMO.
If a person really wants to become a killer after watching NCFOM or the Dark Knight I think there were already some emergent mental illness issues
