It's not like there isn't cinematic precedent for having Joker be much older than Batman.
Eh, it'd be really corny if they went that route. Unless they go the Ace Chemicals route that makes him age slower or something.
Yeah, even older... he'd be like 70+. I'm mostly kidding. But then again, you never know what they'll do, lol. They could just have him indeed be that age.

I know lol I think they'll just avoid the connection all together but who knows.

Batman's clearly got the record for the greatest number of different actors playing the same character in film at this point, right?

Please let Alfred be a monkey butler in this one.

"Gotham DA Gil Colson"

uh huh, sure. Hopefully, Gil makes a dent in crime and isn't as two-faced as the GCPD.

You'd rather a sequel to a new original take on an iconic character rather than a different new original take on different iconic character?
As someone who doesn't give a fuck about comics or movies based off of comics I'm not really stoked about Batman in general. Joker had crossover appeal and actually stands alone as a good film and that character is Joaquin's right now. I'm sure if you're a Batman fan this'll be fun.

I still don't think I've seen Zoe Kravitz stand out in anything, so hopefully this is a good premiere role for her.

Rest of the cast sounds pretty great, even though it's a shame they didn't get Tennant for Riddler.

I believe in Reeves but man, sucks it's taken this long to finally get it going. Hope we see the Batsuit before too long.

If they really wanted Phoenix's Joker in Batman, they could just put him in it and handwave the age discrepancy. and have him appear the same way in the present day. If it's a good movie, it won't matter

Any Batman movie in the same universe as The Joker, would just make you go "Man, Batman's a fucking fascist with orphan issues".

That movie felt so good in how it properly portrayed the shittiness of Gotham and the Waynes.

What excites you about seeing Arthur Fleck going up against Batman? Fleck just bumbles his way into murdering a few people and starting a movement. He's not exactly a criminal mastermind.
Because he would be played by Joaquin, and you could have some moral nuance where the Joker represents dispossessed people and Bruce Wayne represents the wealthy.

At any rate, I'm sensing that I'm derailing the thread a bit by this point, probably since I caught the thread early and ended up being the first post. Sorry, I can shut up.

I have a strong feeling that Bats is going to be given this suit for the movie:

So Cat Woman, Riddler, The Roman, the Penguin....I'm not good with my Batman conversions of real names to bad guy names.

Who else (bad guy/good guy major character wise) is in the movie?

John Turturro being billed as 'from the Transformers films' hurts me. I know it's technically true, but it still hurts.
