“Joker” is nothing but a comedy, and the return of Joaquin Phoenix as “Batman” baddie Arthur Fleck is more than highly anticipated.
Phoenix reprises the titular role after the 2019 origin story, directed by Todd Phillips and co-penned by Scott Silver (“The Fighter”). Phoenix landed a Best Actor Oscar win for Gotham City corruption story that used “King of Comedy” tendencies and “Taxi Driver” aesthetics to convey the rot and the bile behind the rise of mega-millionaire political family the Waynes, while would-be Batman, Bruce Wayne (Dante Pereira-Olson), grows up parentless. Add in a few nods to the fact that maybe Arthur (Phoenix) may be half-siblings with Bruce, and the twisted entanglement between Joker and Batman goes deeper than other typical DC superhero films.
“Joker” was the sixth highest-grossing film of 2019 after winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. The film made history as the first R-rated movie ever to gross over $1 billion worldwide.

He’s back.
Joaquin Phoenix’s Clown Prince of Crime is officially returning for Round 2, as director Todd Phillips, who steered 2019’s “Joker” to a Golden Lion victory at Venice and a Best Actor Academy Award for Phoenix, just posted about the sequel to Instagram.
The working title for the new film? “Joker: Folie à Deux,” an appropriately pretentious title for the sequel to possibly the most pretentious comic book film ever made. The director, previously best known for his comedies such as “The Hangover,” also included a photo of Phoenix apparently reading the script, which, like the original, is written by Scott Silver and Phillips himself.
“Joker,” the sixth highest-grossing film of 2019, was the first R-rated movie ever to gross over 1 billion worldwide. By most measures, it’s the most profitable comic book movie ever, with a budget somewhere between 55 and 70 million dollars and a final worldwide gross of 1.074 billion.

As one of the world’s most popular superheroes, Batman has been through a long history of big-screen appearances. The DC comic book character has been played by numerous actors, including Adam West, Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, George Clooney and Ben Affleck, across more than a dozen films. The character’s latest big-screen appearance was in Todd Phillips’ Joker, where child actor Dante Pereira-Olson portrays a young Bruce Wayne years before he becomes the Dark Knight.

Todd Phillips’ ‘Joker’ script makes it clear his comic book drama does not exist within Warner Bros.’ larger DC Extended Universe, but what if “Joker” launched its own film universe? That question has clearly been on Phillips’ mind considering his conversation with Variety at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Phillips expressed interest in seeing a project that tackles Batman within the “Joker” universe. “Joker” starred Dante Pereira-Olson as young Bruce Wayne and climaxes with the death of his parents, who are murdered in the riot ignited by Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck/Joker. The “Joker” ending sets Bruce on his comic book path to becoming Batman.
“It’s a beautiful Gotham. What I would like to see someone tackle is what Batman looks like from that Gotham,” Phillips said. “I’m not saying I’m going to do that. What was interesting to me about the inclusion of Batman in our movie was,...

After Joker rose to $1 billion at the box office, becoming Warner Bros.’ highest-grossing movie of the year, there’s naturally been a lot of talk of a sequel materializing and even despite Deadline pouring cold water over The Hollywood Reporter’s article announcing that a follow-up is in the works, we’ve been told that it’s definitely going to happen. Not only that, but we’ve also heard that it may hop forward a few years, which could mean that a Jokerverse Batman is on the way.
We’ve previously reported that one star being eyed at this early stage for the part is Bradley Cooper, Phillips’ old colleague from The Hangover films. Our sources have now given us another name though that the studio is apparently interested in: Ryan Gosling. To be clear, there are several other actors under consideration as well and we haven’t been able...

Despite whatever members of the cast and crew have to say, Todd Phillips’ Joker is a comic book movie. In fact, it’s the boldest and most shattering addition to the comic cinema canon since Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight.
So far, the slow-burn film has shared in many of the riches and interactions of the genre, grossing humungous amounts of money (nearly $550 million at the time of writing), and, of course, being dissected by fans for easter eggs and homages to the expansive Batman universe.
From what we can tell, Phillips certainly has not disappointed in that department – with references to Heath Ledger’s iconic portrayal as well as Ratcatcher, of all people, having already been uprooted by viewers.
Now, another one has popped up that doesn’t quite fit into Joker‘s eerie tone. Strangely enough, there’s a reference to the classic Batman ’66 TV series starring Adam West and Burt Ward.

Major spoilers ahead for Warner Bros. new film, “Joker.”
Director Todd Phillips’ “Joker” depicts the gradual unraveling of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a troubled man who, through some very disturbing circumstances, breaks bad and transforms into the criminal who will one day become Batman’s greatest enemy.
While existing entirely on it’s own as a standalone story and unconnected to any other DC Comics films, “Joker” presents a possible origin story for the clown prince of crime connected both to the Gotham City setting and to the history of Batman as a character. In fact, it’s the second time a film has gone out of its way to connect the Joker’s origins to the Caped Crusader in some fashion, after 1989’s Tim Burton-directed “Batman,” which revealed that as a younger man, the Joker is the one who killed Bruce Wayne’s parents.
So it’s understandable...

“Joker” has taken the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival by storm, but not everything about the acclaimed comic book film sits well with leading star Joaquin Phoenix. The actor’s interview with The New York Times includes a revelation from “Joker” director and co-writer Todd Phillips that Phoenix dislikes the inclusion of Thomas Wayne in the film’s script. The movie’s explicit connection to the DC Comics mythology was Phoenix’s “greatest misgiving” about “Joker.”
“[Joaquin] never liked saying the name Thomas Wayne,” Phillips said. “It would have been easier for him if the movie was called ‘Arthur’ and had nothing to do with any of that stuff. But in the long run, I think he got it and appreciated it.”

After you're done being terrified by Joker's fresh new trailer, you might be wondering if the creepy Batman spinoff will feature the Dark Knight himself. At its core, this movie, set in Gotham City in the '80s, is really the Joker's party since it'll serve as an origin story for the DC villain (who's portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix). The main cast, stacked as it is, indicates no one playing Batman. Well, technically speaking, we'll still see Bruce Wayne, just not in his iconic Batsuit or past his teenage years.
If you were paying close attention to the trailer, you might have noticed a quick glimpse of young Bruce Wayne in a pretty disturbing shot. In one brief moment (at 1:47), Arthur sticks his finger inside of Bruce's mouth to replicate his notoriously creepy Cheshire grin. Kid Batman is played by Dante Pereira-Olson, who has recently appeared on the series Happy! as Gerry Scaramucci.

I know I’m not alone when I say that today’s Joker trailer absolutely crushed it. It’s seriously cool that the superhero genre has room for colossal cosmic battles that shape the face of reality in Avengers: Endgame as well as the smaller scale character study that Joker appears to be. Admittedly, this take on the character looks different from anything we’ve seen before, with the grounded setting and lack of Batman indicating that the film is breaking new territory.
But, what if the trailer secretly revealed the Dark Knight after all? There’s one scene in there with the Clown Prince of Crime reaching through a gate of some sort to force a young boy’s mouth into a grin. We already know that Thomas Wayne plays a role (probably the main antagonist) in the movie (and we can see him in the preview), and the...

There was a full script for DC’s upcoming Joker by director Todd Phillips before they started shooting the film. Well, according to Zazie Beetz, who plays Sophie Dumond in the film, the whole things was rewritten as they shot the movie. While talking to MTV, she explained:
“We rewrote the whole thing while we were shooting it. Literally, we would go into Todd [Phillips]’ trailer and then write the scene for the night and then do it.”
That may sound like an interesting way to go about doing things, but it’s not uncommon. However, I don’t think it’s common for the whole script to be rewritten.
Armie Hammer was with her in the interview and he joked, “Man, the writer of that script is going to be so pissed to hear you say that.” Beetz went on to clarify “He was there, too, he was helping out.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck, and by a similar line of reasoning, most of us have assumed that the main character of Joker is, in fact, the Joker. Still, there’s no denying that Todd Phillips’ upcoming film has a very different story in mind for the Clown Prince of Crime from any of the villain’s previous screen outings, and in a new post from CinemaBlend, the case is made that Joaquin Phoenix’s character might not be “the real Joker” after all.
The theory essentially rests on the fact that Arthur Fleck is several decades older than Bruce Wayne. While Phoenix just turned 44 last month, Dante Pereira-Olson (who’s playing the young Wayne) couldn’t even pass as a teenager, meaning that when this kid grows up to be Batman, Arthur will...

Batman is a lot younger than you would expect in the Joker solo movie.
We already know that Todd Phillip’s Joker movie is trying to distance itself from the Dceu – pitched as a darker, grittier, more serious stand-alone spin-off. This is a crime thriller that just happens to be set in a world that might one day have superheroes in it, and it is most definitely not a Batman movie.
Making that even clearer, Phillips has cast Bruce Wayne as a little boy – with Dante Pereira-Olson as a young Bruce in a world that clearly has a very different continuity to the comic books.
Pereira-Olson starred as a young version of Joaquin Phoenix's character in You Were Never Really Here, so it’s likely that his future on-screen nemesis recommended him for the part.
He’s also got a new butler too, with Douglas Hodge cast as Alfred.

Todd Phillips’ “Joker” origin movie has added two crucial “Batman” characters: Alfred Pennyworth and Bruce Wayne.
Douglas Hodgewill play Pennyworth, Batman’s longtime butler-medic-strategist, and Dante Pereira-Olson will play a very young Bruce Wayne, years before he begins his career as the Caped Crusader.
Hodge and Olson join Brett Cullen as Batman’s father Thomas Wayne. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix as the man who will become the clown prince of crime.

With Thomas Wayne having a decent sized role in director Todd Phillips’ Joker, a lot of fans have wondered if we would see a young Bruce Wayne show up. Well, today we’ve learned that Bruce Wayne will be in the movie!

Just when we thought we had the new Joker movie all figured out, the internet throws a curveball like this.
A new video was circulating online last week that showed off a Batmobile being transported through the streets of New York, and according to the YouTuber who uploaded the clip, it was being taken out of the set of the Clown Prince of Crime’s upcoming movie. To make matters even more confusing, the car was clearly modeled after the one used by the Caped Crusader in the ‘60s Batman show.
Now, only adding to the mystery is the fact that the production has just cast a young Bruce Wayne and his trusty butler, Alfred Pennyworth.

Ever since the Cannes Film Festival last year, buzz has been building for Lynne Ramsay’s follow up to We Need to Talk About Kevin. The movie in question is You Were Never Really Here, and boy is it something. Opening this week, Ramsay has crafted something truly remarkable. Very much a cinematic cousin to Drive, this is the filmmaker putting her stamp on what otherwise could be a throwaway genre outing. Whereas a studio would have shaved off the rough edges and made this a Liam Neeson vehicle (not that those don’t have their own merits), here we have something far more offbeat. It’s also easily one of the three best films of 2018 so far. The movie is like a lucid fever dream. IMDb describes it as such: “A traumatized veteran, unafraid of violence, tracks down missing girls for a living. When a job spins out of control,...
