The first one is a work of art. If, from time to time, you like to be emotionally challenged and feel uncomfortable feelings, you'll love the first film. Calling it "Joker" was either unnecessary or a stroke of genius. By virtue of his inclusion it becomes a "comic book movie," but you could have easily made it all about an original character...and received a fraction of the attention, without the comic book audience. But if you were to say "its a comic book movie" then its easily the best 'comic book movie' ever... in that its stripped down and makes what Marvel is doing look like cartoons.
