Film The Origin of Joker Claimed Related to 'The Batman'
With its status as an unrelated project DC Extended Universe , the Joker origin film is said to be shooting this fall of 2018, with Joaquin Phoenix potentially playing Batman's iconic enemies. Now circulating rumors that indicate, the origin of Joker movie may not be completely standalone, because there is a possibility Joker Phoenix will be confronted with new Batman Matt Reeves care in a movie.
The muddling news itself comes from Mark Hughes , a Forbes journalist who has been preaching the DC project on the basis of information - which he claims - from "insiders" involved in the project. Hughes acknowledges the information he received is not final yet, and can still change in the future. But Hughes revealed, the Joker Phoenix movie is unlikely to be standalone, due to the constantly changing situation of Batman and DCEU solo films. And if the Joker film is ready for production, Hughes says the movie will not only star in Phoenix, but also produced Oscar- grade filmmaker Martin Scorcese .
In addition, if The Batman claimed Reeves really was a reboot, Hughes rate this Batman will need a new Joker, not the one that already existed played by Jared Leto in Suicide Squad . Therefore, Hughes believes, if the movie origin of Joker, starring Phoenix ended a success, then this Joker will meet new Batman Reeves option.
To note, in 2017 and Reeves had admitted The Batman is not part of DCEU, before he finally clarified that the film is actually part of the DCEU. But as Hughes said, the situation of The Batman and DCEU is still liquid. Moreover, Reeves recently rumored to be looking for a younger new actor to replace Ben Affleck as Batman, and it raises speculation that The Batman is a movie reboot.
Given the big event San Diego Comic-Con will be held in a few weeks, hopefully Warner Bros. and DC will take advantage of this moment to release official information and respond to any growing rumors, including ensuring whether the Phoenix Joker film will be associated with The Batman .
