I think her performance felt very forced and like she was trying too hard.Then that means Margot did a good job because that’s what the character is in general.
How do you mean? The only version of the character I’m even slightly familiar with is the one from the 90’s cartoon show. She seemed effortlessly crazy, like the joker.
But, again, I’m not very familiar with Batman. The Adam West series and 90’s cartoons are the only Batmans I’ve liked.The Joker and Harley are made to be the epitome of madness almost to a fault. Their history has been a series of trying to outdo the previous incarnation to the point that the latest incarnation of the Joker cuts his own face off. Having stated that I don’t know how you can “try too hard” with characters like this.
I dunno, it seems possible to me.
I think it’s certainly possible if it were the 70’s but in the recent decades the envelope has been pushed to the brink and then some so it’s a weird complaint considering the characters in essence are tryhards. Also I would rather someone try “too hard” than to try too little. It shows that Margot at least cares.
