The Joker is one popular guy. A day after word broke that Warner Bros. was developinga Joker origin story movie for Todd Phillips(War Dogs) to direct as part of a series of non-DCEU standalone films, news comes that a Joker and Harley Quinn movie is in the works.THR reports that Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the directors behind Crazy, Stupid, Love, Focus, and the Tina Fey dramedy Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, are in final negotiations to write, direct, and produce.

The film is described as a “criminal love story”

Meanwhile, better characters like Dick Grayson, John Stewart, J'on Jonzz, Kord are still waiting....

DC has so many underrated characters because they can't get off of Bruce and Joker's jock.

For all the folks that often think I'm too hard on DC, this is really the core reason.

The Joker is now, generally, boring. We've seen him way too many times, and Hamill and Ledger put massive stamps on the character

Heck I'd probably add Wally, Queen, Jordan, Raynor, and a bunch of others.

So . . . let me get this right,

We will have DCEU films with some characters and then non-DCEU films with the same characters being played by different people?

What's next, we see Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum back as Clark and Lex in their own Smallville movie?

It was so stupid for them to start Batman out 20 years into his career. That's 20 years worth of setup for his character and other characters which they could have explored but now it's pointless.

This is the BS that makes people bash DC and praise Marvel. What in the hell are they thinking?

Joker movie has me excited, but a Harley Quinn spinoff? She was cringe worthy in SS.

I wouldn't go anywhere near a Jared Leto Joker movie.

What argument? You mean the one that Dick Grayson is probably a top tier comic book character, and that he's just plain better than jaded, boring, death metal Bruce Wayne and his boring overplayed villain who's schtick is tired?

It's science.

And I just wanted to post in this thread again because...

We've had fifty of these "Warner is going to hire writers for" stories over the past decade. Out of all of those, we ended up with half a dozen actual movies that went into production. We've heard everything from Blue Beetle/Booster Gold to Superboy/Supergirl.

I'll be pleasantly shocked if either of these Joker movies make it out of the planning process and to the screen.

You know which argument, arse clown.

Yes. That one. I don't know if anyone on this board wants to see Dick Grayson go from Robin to Nightwing more than me.

This guy. He's my favorite DC character, by a pretty wide margin.
