Taking on the role of the Joker from the 'Batman' universe isn't an easy proposition after Heath Ledger gave such a definitive performance in 'The Dark Knight'; just ask Jared Leto, who received rough reviews for his own interpretation in 'The Suicide Squad'. Joaquin Phoenix is the man who's been brave enough to try. He's a high-quality actor with an impressive track record, so if anyone can do it, we're backing him.
This is an origin story for Gotham's most famous villain, focusing on how Arthur Fleck transitioned from failing nightclub comedian to psychotic mega-villain, by way of a stay in Arkham Asylum. There will be no Batman appearance in the film at all, other than an apparent cameo from a young Bruce Wayne, so the stage is set for the Joker to have his evil fun without interruption. Given the fan base that the Batman universe has, this is a surefire hit, and should be an intriguing watch.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
