Alec Baldwin Joins Todd Phillips’ ‘Joker’

While Warner Bros has not confirmed what role, buzz is that Baldwin is poised play the role of Thomas Wayne, who in DC canon is Bruce Wayne/Batman’s father. Thomas Wayne was first introduced in Detective Comics #33 (Nov. 1939) and he is respected physician and philanthropist in Gotham City. Wayne and his wife are murdered exiting the theater, an incident which young Bruce witnesses. That becomes his m.o. for ultimately becoming a vigilante. In the early comics, Wayne’s murderer is mugger/hitman Joe Chill, but starting with the first Tim Burton 1989 Batman movie, it’s the Joker who is the culprit.

Baldwin joins a growing cast that includes Joaquin Phoenix in the title role, Robert De Niro, Frances Conroy, Marc Maron, and Zazie Beetz as Sophie Dumond. As has been previously reported, Phillips’ take on the famed DC character will possess a grittier, ’80s sensibility.

'Joker' Movie: Alec Baldwin to Play Bruce Wayne's Father

"But this being a movie project that will veer off-center from the traditional Batman canon, sources say the script paints Thomas Wayne as a cheesy and tanned businessman who is more in the mold of a 1980s Donald Trump."

1980s Trump is an entirely different type of personality than the current Trump that seems to be suffering from some sort of dementia.

Doing what 'Gotham' was too stupid to do, making Thomas Wayne a central character in the prequel.



Can't wait to see what how Baldwin portrays him.

Interesting take. She also says there is a rumor the Joker will be Thomas Wayne's estranged son.

eh the more i think about it the more intrigued i am by this movie. i don’t think joaquin pheonix would have gotten involved if it wasn’t interesting. if he thinks this is worth his time then i will at least keep an open mind until the trailer.

Alec Baldwin is a really good actor..I'm sure he's not just going to copy and paste his trump character. there will be nuance.
