>Joaquin Phoenix is in talks to play the Clown Prince of Crime in Warner Bros. and Todd Phillips’ untitled Joker origin movie.
>While studio negotiations are not yet underway, Phillips has made it clear that Phoenix is the top choice to star and sources now tell Variety that, after thinking it over, Phoenix has agreed to the role. WB had no comment.

Well, he's already got the fucked up mouth.
It would be funny if he just played Freddie Quell again but in clown makeup this time.
>Todd Phillips
lol what?
sounds great, im watching regardless now.
He's a jew
While I hoped he'd never stoop so low as to do capeshit, this could be interesting.
Wish he was in Bladerunner 2049 as Wallace
So Jared Letto and Affleck are gone?
this can't be happening, it must be a joke
>Michelle Williams in Venom
>Phoenix in DCEU
What's next? Meryl Streep in Captain Marvel sequel?
>inb4 Viper Room
pretty much one of the few that can surpass Ledger desu
Wow, apparently no one is above capeshit. Might as well get Daniel Day Lewis to play Mr. Fantastic.
but what about Leto?
there's nothing phoenix can't do. we need more of him goddammit
>Todd Phillips
Is this April's Fools, right?
>Origin movie after origin movie
Yeah that's weird, I thought they'd give Leto another go.
Great, another method-acting nutjob
What even is this timeline, when will this end?
For fuck's sake, why can't capeshit just die already?
>mfw when in five years the only movies you'll be able to see in a cinema will be capeshit
Strange decision to make a standalone when Joker is in another, unrelated, franchise released around the same time. Different universes, fine, but it's a weird sell to audiences.
>only alternatives will be netflix originals
He'll never be as good as River.
Great, another wave of edgy fags who wanna suck Joker's dick is on the way.
so, this means that Leto and Affleck are gone after the Flashpoint reboot.
SHUT
THE
FUCK
UP
...
This is some kind of retarded standalone film not connected to the rest. Batman is not even going to be in it. Leto and Affleck are both in Suicide Squad 2, and possibly Flashpoint. The DCCU is falling apart though quite frankly, and it is rumored that neither are in the upcoming standalone Batman film either.
>Netflix originals based on more capeshit or shitty sci-fi books
Reminder that Netflix Originals are just the shows that no-one else wanted for whatever reason. Stranger Things is the only successful Netflix Original to be actually produced BY Netflix, too.
It's tried and true.
The fuck is re they even doing at this point? Just let DCEU die and move onto something not capeshit.
It's the push capeshit needs. WB could've used that mustache CGI movie to film Gotham by Gaslight in live action. Shared universe bullshit killed capeshit.
Boring.He should have played Lex Luthor.
>Meryl Streep
I find funny that this the closes thing to a good actor the female genre has. They had to pretend this retarded women is talented for decades. Can you imagine giving her Oscar after Oscar to a hack only because thats the best female genre can offer?
>the female genre
There's only one hope of killing capeshit.
I blame Snyder and anyone who trusted him
Fast and Furious and Jumanji sequels are not better.
fuck
we need to make this happen
Imagine a litty-only streaming service
kys
Only if its made by Fox
He kinda looks like Armond White.
>Warner invests huge money into New Line
>In order to produce a new and great Nightmare On Elm Street reboot/sequel
>It ends up being good like the new IT and making more than Justice League at the box office.
I don't think thath DCCU is falling apart. Sure these standalone movies can be weird, but I think is great way to see some other stuff in capeshit genre.
But it's gonna be soft reboot in Flashpoint. After that it's like new plate and old stuff is not a think or something. Don't know about the Batman though. If the trilogy is standalone and not part of the universe then you are right and DCCU is a mess and maybe even done. They need Batman in it. Affleck is out after Flashpoint. So is there gonna be third Batman? Afflec, the one in the trilogy and one after Affleck?
At least Marvel have had the same cast for their entire universe. Why are DC such fuck-ups?
That would be legit! Who to cast as Freddy thou?
