Joker Origin Story Announced

Yeah, saw it yesterday with my wife. Good movie - certainly the best thing DC have produced on screen since Watchmen.
DC is about to become more popular than Marvel. Feige is stretching himself two thin,Endgame feels like closure to many with all the phase 1 heroes leaving. The big female lead isn't nearly as good or Iconic as Wonder Woman,Abrams is a great producer who will be running things. They are on a role and Batman will be back soon and also Superman and The Rock as Black Adam. Joker also opens up the chance of even more edgy stuff Disney will only allow with Deadpool. Jason
This might change when they do another Justice League. I think they are just waiting for a new Superman to try. I think it would even be cool if that was his first apperance. Jason
This nonsense again? One good movie recently doesn't make up for years of failure.
More than one. Wonder Woman,Aquaman,Shazam and Joker. WW sequel,Suicide Squad revamp,BlackAdam,Batman,Sirens,Batgirl on the way all can be hits. The Harley Quinn one might be the only flop. Jason
WW and Aquaman were hits, Joker is an "In Name Only" movie that had to hijack DC's most popular villain to have any success and Shazam was middling.
Those other ones, I won't hold my breath.
JJ Abrams? As far as I know he has nothing to do with Marvel, unless I missed a big announcement somewhere along the line.
You're the person to judge, considering how big of a Joker fan you are.
I think the preferred term is “reimagine.”
Is there some basis to this other than Abrams' exclusive deal with Warner?
Are you making stuff up?
I think the preferred term is “speculating.”
That is true. It is a prediction. Jason
You're just making up an excuse there for an inconvenient fact that blows up your line of reasoning.
Nope, when even the Director admits that he hijacked the name it's clear it was just an "In Name Only" take so that he could have carte blanche to do whatever he wanted and have a built in audience.
Except that has absolutely jack-shit to do with whether the movie was made by DC and whether it was a success or not. The general audience doesn't care if it's Joker in name only, they care if they enjoyed the movie or not. The verdict on that seems clear - they enjoyed the movie.
