"The People's Joker" opens with a few paragraphs of legalese, putting the picture behind the protective wall of "fair use" before it begins. And one can understand the anxiety of the production, as co-writer/director/actress Vera Drew wields the world of D.C. Comics and the D.C. Extended Universe to inspire a "queer coming-of-age film" that uses the history of Batman and Superman in ways never before seen on screen. Drew attempts to create a subversive comedy about identity, self-worth, and the many ways of love with the endeavor, employing pop culture sacred cows to propel a highly bizarre movie that remains somewhat formulaic with characterization, but essentially lives to poke at superhero entertainment. Drew goes the DIY route with "The People's Joker," basically building a greenscreen odyssey into comedy and concern that's impressively imagined at times, representing a real homegrown effort to complete a personal vision for mischief and creative expression. Actually sitting through the feature is a bit more challenging. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
