Alongside Andrew de Moray, Wallace defeated an English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in September 1297. He was appointed Guardian of Scotland and served until his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk in July 1298. In August 1305, Wallace is captured in Robroyston (in), near Glasgow, and handed over to the English king Edward I, who hangs, hangs out and puts him in quarters for high treason and crimes against English civilians. After his death, Wallace became an icon whose fame extended beyond the borders of Scotland. The 15th century poet Harry the Blind devoted an epic in verse, The Wallace, to him, and he became the hero of Walter Scott and Jane Porter novels in the 19th century. In 1995, he was played by Mel Gibson in the film Braveheart, which takes important liberties with his story.

[M]That's a high-risk venture for[/M] Hangover director Todd Phillips and star [M]Joaquin Phoenix, who are setting themselves up to incur the wrath of DC fans, if they don't hit this nail squarely on the head[/M].
Before footage of acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix surfaced Tuesday of him playing the villainous lead in Joker, he addressed how he would tackle the role differently from the late Heath Ledger. Ledger gave an electrifying performance as the Joker in 2008's The Dark Knight. The Australian actor died in January 2008, which was months before the Christopher Nolan-directed feature hit the big screen in July 2008. Ledger, who died of an accidental overdose ahead of The Dark Knight's release, was awarded a posthumous Oscar for his efforts in the Best Supporting Actor category in 2009. Ledger has often been regarded as one of the best actor's to portray the dark character to date, but Phoenix aims to bring something different to the role. In speaking to IndieWire in April 2018, the Academy Award winner said he'd be interested in tackling the Joker because he believed the character would be different from the one Ledger depicted in Nolan's 2008 feature. "I was thinking about it's interesting with comics there's different writers and artists that come on. It's different than this character from literature being uniquely that," Phoenix explained to IndieWire. "There are different interpretations. It's so interesting; I was just thinking about it today, it seems so unique in some ways to comic books.

The first trailer for Joker understandably has DC fans buzzing, as this film about the iconic DC Comics villain is attempting something bold and unprecedented in the character's 79 years of existence:an origin story. That's a high-risk venture for Hangover director Todd Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix, who are setting themselves up to incur the wrath of DC fans, if they don't hit this nail squarely on the head. One thing is for sure though: there's no way that Joker can simply stand on its own merits, as the character is such a deep part of the cultural zeitgeist that any new interpretation must be held up to all those versions that came before. So, even though the Joker trailer has just dropped (at the time of writing this) DC fans are already going in on comparing Joaquin Phoenix's Joker to his onscreen predecessors - most notably Heath Ledger's Joker from The Dark Knight.
