Well, Joker finally opened in theaters on Thursday night and the last laugh is on the critics, because Joker’s Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score is way higher than the critical one.

The origin story for Batman’s greatest foe has been called everything from a masterpiece and the best movie of the year, to pernicious garbage and the year’s biggest disappointment, ultimately resulting in a tepid critical response.
