Vi har allerede rapporteret hvordan Joaquin Phoenix skal spille Jokeren, i filmen der ikke har noget med det etablerede DCEU at gøre. Nu ved vi mere om filmen.
For det første går filmen under navet "Joker", og den bliver produceret på et relativt lille budget, nærmere bestemt $65 millioner dollars, hvilket er langt under det andre superheltefilm (superskurkefilm?) arbejder med. Den bliver skrevet og instrueret af Hangover-instruktør Todd Phillips, og den vil udkomme d. 4. oktober 2019. Cinema Blend skriver dette om projektet:
"Budgeted at around $55 million, which is significantly less than what most DC Comics movies cost to make, Joker is being directed by The Hangover's Todd Phillips, who co-wrote the script with Scott Silver. Officially, all we know about the movie is that it's described by Warner Bros as an "exploration of a man disregarded by society that is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale." Already that description and budget indicate that Joker will be a different, more experimental kind of movie compared to previous DC Comics movies. Unofficially, it's been reported that Joker will be set in the 1980s adapt The Killing Joke, the Alan Moore-penned and Brian Bolland-illustrated story that portrayed the character as a failed comedian who turns to a life of crime after one bad day."
