Joker 2

Either way, as bad as I want this film, where could they even take it?

Honestly, my mind goes somewhere like Alien to Aliens, or Terminator to Terminator 2. I think you have to swerve a bit, even though it sounds like a potential huge "jump the shark" moment. But what else can you do??
I don't know. Maybe you go "Godfather'esque" operatic gangster film? What is the story there? To be honest, I'm having a hell of a fun time trying to crack the nut of what angle this next film could utilize.

There are obvious routes you could go, but they don't necessarily seem like the right ones. Dredging up Batman, for example.

Hmm. What about featuring the Joker heavily, but having the protagonist being someone in Joker's inner circle, akin to the "Joker" graphic novel by Azzarello and Bermejo.
Seeing through a new character's eyes how this type of madness can be contagious. Seeing Joker's madness spread, his reputation grow, and perhaps eventually topple over on itself, through the eyes of someone looking for a purpose or sense of home by means of Joker's "cult". Maybe there is a story there?

I'm really spitballin here, but I think it does need this type of mix-up, even if not the one I am describing.
