They're planning on making a Joker movie? And it's an origin film???

Good grief.

*snake* · 08-22-2017, 04:50 PM

Why though?

*NinjaPug* · 08-22-2017, 04:58 PM

So WB is creating a new DC label for new DC movies set outside the current DCEU? We'll be getting two versions or characters (with different actors) on the screen at the same time? What could go wrong?

*Autbot_Benz* · 08-22-2017, 04:59 PM

so is this gonna be Killing Joke the live action movie or what? Wow Martin Scorse is going to be producer on this.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 08-22-2017, 05:08 PM

Not true.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jared Leto doesn't return (except maybe due to contractual obligations)...

But http://batman-news.com/ isn't carrying this news story so... in the immortal words of Senator Vreenak...

*Autbot_Benz* · 08-22-2017, 05:18 PM

Variety broke the story they are pretty credible. Batman-News is just slow.

*NinjaPug* · 08-22-2017, 05:22 PM

Yeah every Hollywood trade is reporting this. It's legit.

*plastroncafe* · 08-22-2017, 05:23 PM

Guess people finally got fed up with his method-acting shenanigans.

You're all right; Batman-News has the story now!

Well, I still don't think this film will actually get made, given WB's astounding DC track record of late.

But shoot... my bad, guys.

*Powder* · 08-22-2017, 05:33 PM

This is dumb.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 08-22-2017, 05:39 PM

I just think it's really sad that Marvel could announce "We're making a Howard the Duck / Squirrel Girl / Hit Monkey movie in 2025" and I'm absolutely believe it...

But WB/DC could tell me "We're making both Batman & Robin and Man of Steel 2: Supergirl in 2020", and I'd probably herniate myself laughing in scornful disbelief.

What ever happened to that embargo concept that prevented Batman villains from appearing in Justice League as well as forcing Wonder Woman in Aquaman's place in To Another Shore? Not to mention so many examples going back to the Super Friends?

**Jester** · 08-22-2017, 05:46 PM

So the company that "Bat-embargoed" Batman characters from the Justice League series because it'd confuse people watching it and The Batman are gonna have 2 dueling cinematic universes? Sure...that makes sense.

Dang...I need to read all of a thread....RAPHANDMIKEY87 GET OUTTA MY HEAD!

My Bizarro Image loving self would love to.

Here is a good question, how many of the several Joker and Harley Quinn related projects will actually happen? Aside from maybe Gotham Sirens I do not see this clownish oversaturation happening. DC or is it Warner Bros. does not know when to stop and likely have been sharing the same LSD bag with Sony.

The only movies I believe are happening are Justice League, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman 2.

This is not the way to run a cinematic universe.

The Batman and Flash seem to be at least at some point in preproduction and determined to get out. The others, I agree. I don't really care about the properties enough aside from where this The Batman project ends up, if only to give a cinematic debut to another Bat Rogue. Aquaman, even if he is a dark haired pirate, I want to see what can be done with him on screen, Aquaman is poster hero of the underrated heroes in all of fiction and utilizing his only two villains at the same time seem to show the production team is going all out.

Yeah, some shape or form of The Batman will eventually happen, because nothing puts butts in seats more reliably than the ol' Dark Knight. But it may not be in this DCEU.

The Flash... that's had a more troubled production than a cursed play in a Scooby Doo cartoon.

Not happening unless Ezra Miller WOWS audiences this November. But if he's just okay--or meh--then consider it the final nail in the coffin.

The Flash T.V. show popularity may play into it as well. What will the ratings be a year from now and is it a long-term success of quality story that has made fans for Barry Allen? I honestly do not know as I only watched two season one episodes for Grodd and Captain Cold/Heatwave. It's Wally that had the fun and humor qualities. Seeing Ezra as a comedic relief character strikes me as odd as Barry is supposed to a straight laced guy who has string of bad luck yet one others can look to to trust or idolize such as Wally. Ezra comes off in the little we have seen as a nerdy Wally West.

*Ninjinister* · 08-22-2017, 06:59 PM

I feel like Scorsese directing is a hell of a lot more noteworthy than Leto not being in it.
