Joker’ Origin Film to Portray Batman Villain as Failed ’80s Comedian

>Todd Phillips’ planned “Joker” origin movie will portray Batman’s arch-nemesis as a failed 1980s comedian who becomes the clown prince of crime after bombing with audiences, insiders exclusively told TheWrap.

>Joaquin Phoenix is close to a deal to play the Joker in Phillips’ film, which will show audiences laughing at the Joker instead of with him. The film is eyeing amid- to late-2018 production start, but an insider with knowledge of the project said it could be delayed by rewrites, which are currently underway by Phillips and “8 Mile” veteran Scott Silver.

>The project is expected to be part of a yet-to-be-announced new banner under Warner Bros.’ DC Films that will expand the comic-book canon beyond such familiar DC Extended Universe characters as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Jared Leto’s Joker, who appeared in last year’s “Suicide Squad.”

there's more than one joker

I just want Heat back bros

It's out on Blu-ray and DVD, you can even rent it or stream it online

Does he become the red hood? I bet he does for most of the movie and the last scene is him falling into the vat of toxic slug and screen goes black as the joker laugh is heard.

I'm visiting my local OTB to place a prop bet on that

Well I don't like giving the Joker a concrete origin but if you're going to do it you may as wel use the most famous
