Whenever we talk about DC Comics movies, the discussion arises about why it's so difficult to adapt Joker to the big screen. Could it be that the character is too attached to the comic book's caricature?
Recently, we saw the premiere of the film with Joaquin Phoenix. Truly an astounding performance by the actor, but it completely deviates from the Joker we've seen in the comics.
Birds of Prey will be the new film from the company that explores the Batman universe. It focuses on Harley Quinn and her own group of criminals, after separating from the clown.
As reported by Hollywood Reporter, Jared Leto will not be present in this new production in his role as Joker. He wasn't even considered for a cameo, despite the fact that he's mentioned multiple times in the film.
More about "Joker" (2019):
Joker is a film produced by Warner Bros. and DC Comics. The cast is made up of Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Robert De Niro, Marc Maron, among others. The premiere was on October 3rd in Peru.
'Joker' focuses on Batman's iconic archenemy and is an original and independent story that has never been seen before on the big screen. The exploration of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a man ignored by society, is not only the study of a gritty character, but also a broader cautionary tale.
