Welp she’s going to die

 

[Lefty Gunz]

If a deal makes, De Niro would play a talk show host who is somehow instrumental in the Joker’s origin.

 

[MartyMcFly]

Yup figured that’s what they’d do. The comic book version of the king of comedy. That’s acrually a really interesting idea. Rupert could easily be the joker

'Joker': Frances Conroy in Talks to Play Mom to Joaquin Phoenix's Joker in Batman Spinoff (Exclusive)

Frances Conroy is in talks to play the Joker’s mother, Penny, in Warner Bros.’ “Joker,” an individual with knowledge of the project exclusively told TheWrap.

Joaquin Phoenix is set to play the titular character, while “Deadpool 2” star Zazie Beetz is in talks to join the cast as a single mother who catches the attention of the Joker prior to his transformation into the nihilistic Gotham City villain. In Alan Moore’s version of the Joker’s origins, the villain was an unnamed failed comedian who struggles to make ends meet for his pregnant wife. When his wife is killed in a freak accident and a robbery he is forced to take part in disfigures his face, the comedian snaps, becoming the infamous Joker.

While story details are being kept under wraps, it has been previously reported that the origin story for Batman’s nemesis will be more of a mid-budget crime thriller than a superhero blockbuster, and that it will be based at least loosely on the origin story for the character depicted in Alan Moore’s “The Killing Joke.”

Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow will co-produce the film, with Todd Phillips directing. Emma Tillinger Koskoff and Richard Baratta, whose producing credits include Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street,” are attached as producers. The film will be released on October 4, 2019, with production set to begin in New York in September.

On Monday, it was also reported that Robert De Niro was in talks to join the project. The role would see De Niro portray a talk show host who plays a role in the Joker’s origins.

I'm loving how the cast is shaping up could be something special

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Interesting choices. One thing about WB is they not afraid to think outside the box.

De Niro possibly in a comic book movie, I never thought.

I wouldn’t call this a comic book movie. It sounds like it’s gonna be a scorcese type vibe with a joker emerging near the end.

It's the fukkin Joker.

Calling something a comic book movie implies over the top action, set pieces, and dialogue. This sounds like some sort of gangster flick where a guy gets driven mad and only becomes the comic book villain at the very end

No, a comic book movie is based on comic book characters.

Nah. Comics are far more than that. You can have comics about anything.
