Finally we get to find out how he got those scars.

>>86745518
Even with Scorsese, if it has Leto as Joker it's going to be utter shit.

This is too good to be true

>>86745518
DC needs to get their shit together. Joker shouldn't have an origin. Not knowing is one of his main attractions. Origin stories always fuck up the mystique of characters like his.

Marvel is so dead lmao, this is the first Academy Award best picture comic book film winner.

Scorsese lol. Im a huge fan of his but I dont whether this will work out for him or not.

>>86745879
Did you read the deadline article? It said that it will have a different actor as joker

The article says it's not part of the DCEU?

>This will be the first film under a new banner that has yet to be named in which WB can expand the canon of DC properties and create unique storylines with different actors playing the iconic characters.

This is going to confuse the fuck out of everyone.

Makes it sound like it's not canon to DCEU

It should just be told in flashbacks while joker opens up to Harley in arkham.

>Not knowing is one of his main attractions.
Not really. Everyone gladly see Killing Joke as canon.

>>86745942
That only became a thing because of the dark knight

>>86746180
You can't adapt the Killing Joke because one of the things that makes it so good is the art. You can't translate that to live action.

>>86746074

Isn't that kind of how the comics are, though? Batman seems to change between writers/artists.

Everybody who isn't excited about this is a redditor pleb

>The intention is to make a gritty and grounded hard-boiled crime film set in early-’80s Gotham City that isn’t meant to feel like a DC movie as much as one of Scorsese’s films from that era, like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull or The King Of Comedy

>>86746466
But the gist of Joker's origin is enough.
He's may or may not have been a comedian
He became the red hood
fell into a vat of acid
and he was the Joker.

>>86746491
You would be surprised how few people actually know the Jokers origin.

When the killing joke animation came out multiple of my friends didn't know Jokers origin. One of them even told me they thought it was supposed to be secret or nobody really knew for sure.

because it isn't, it flat out says it isn't, these spin offs are WB hedging their bets under the assumption that the DCEU is fucked

>>86746579
The Joker's identity is better as a secret.

Having some random gangster/criminal turning into the Joker is one of the worst things ever.

I love the DCEU but what the fuck is this?

I mean, they could easily make this work and let the movie be a literal troll-fest with a "I was just fucking with you retards" twist where joker reveals that the whole movie was a lie. no studio would be that brave though

my main concern is the "new banner" shit that is going on. this could be a huge continuity issue in the eye of mass audiences

>>86745518
I don't want a "Joker origin". I want a Joker's Gang movie where he's already deeply seeded in Gotham's lore.

>>86747607
like>>86746661

WB isn't putting all of its DC eggs in one basket and is broadening their options with this new spinoff banner

honestly if it means we get interesting stuff that isn't bound to DCEU continuity I'm all for it

>>86747703
this is basically like all the non-canon shit Marvel's been putting out, except it's a movie that'll actually turn a profit with a character people actually give a shit about lmao

>>86746074

>>86747796

>this is basically like all the non-canon shit Marvel's been putting out

this meme really needs to stop. people either need to understand what the term "canon" means or just not use it if it's untrue

>>86748172
One-shot I mean

If its a gangster movie where the first half follows gangster joker before seguing into a gritty r-rated joker tale after he gets turned then I'd watch it.

I expect this won't be that though

lol, easy capeshitters. He will only produce it.

>>86746561
>Can someone tell why the fuck does DC or Warner wants big hollywood film makers to direct their films while Marvel gets indie non hollywood guys to direct their films
Warner has no real plan and wanted to hire big name directors to make decisions.
But then once the director hired ended up with decisions Warner don't like, Warner get mad.

Marvel already have a plan, and hire directors only when they are on the same page. Since the plan already exists it is better to hire people who are team players, who aren't prima donnas.

>>86748193
The stuff that happens on the tv shows and Netflix shows likely stopped being considered canonical in accordance to the universe of the movies and instead became supplemental sometime at some point before Marvel Studios became seperated from the general Marvel, but they definitely became non-canonical after that point. They won't even let the Marvel shows show the complete unobscured logo for Stark Enterprises on one of the shows recently. Additionally, they've contradicted the tie-in comics in the movies in the past.

WB generally goes for B-list directors who are or at least appear to be on the verge of breaking into the A-list. Robert Zemeckis is the only real exception and actually getting him on boar seems to be ice-skating uphill.

The ambiguous origin story is a modern invention. He had a completely canon origin story published ten years after his original creations, in the fifties.

>>86745518
I want a batman movie told from the perspective of some mook working for the joker or some other rogue. They're just guarding a warehouse somewhere and batman is prowling around and taking them out one by one. Give it the tone of a slasher or a monster movie.

>>86749366

The shows are canon since a lot of stuff was referenced in the show. Now what you mean is the producers and writers being unfaithful to the universe and fucking up referencing and remembering the movie stuff. That doesn't mean the shows are non-canon, it just means that consistency is shit at Marvel headquarters

>>86749676
Yeah I'd watch that given how mad of a serial killer Batman is.

What?!? Dropping a cinematic universe in order to make a decent stand-alone movie? That's impossible!

Do you make him likeable and relatable before his transformation or was he always a cunt?

Do you make his transformation tragic or merely the inevitable conclusion of the steps he took in his life that lead up to this moment

Do you make him an average joe or does he have degrees in mechanical and chemical engineering?

>>86752052
It depends on the framing device. If it's delivered straight, then you can fill his life with tragedy. If, however, there is a narrator, you can have it be told and, in possible flashbacks or whatever, change details more and more to show you cannot trust what has been said. But that risks alienating audiences.

>>86752381

so it works one way but not the other? what kind of stupid logic would that be? just because the TV universe is secluded and not referenced by the movies specifically doesn't mean the shows are not canon. At this point, I really don't know whether this is all but a stupid troll or not

>have Iron Man
>Iron Man kills Mandarin and blows up half of Asia in the process
>have Agents of SHIELD comic
>Agent Coulson mentions how Iron Man just blew up half of Asia

this is how you people sound. the movies don't have the time to address unimportant shit from the shows

>>86753286

I think audiences would love it if WB played the Deadpool card and either made the movie some kind of Uncle Joker Storytime in which he is breaking the fourth wall and reading from a book about his origins or they just do a Tales from the Crypt kind of thing in which he offers several origin stories.
