Maybe it's worth checking the film first to see if it's worthy of continuation of any sort. Cart before the horse. We already have one disaster.Still thinking in the back of my head that this movie is going to leave it at this could be one of many possible origins for the Joker leaving the door open for him to appear in Matt Reeves' Batman in the future. Would make sense since this is the Joker after all.
This movie looks very inspired by TKJ already, I would not be surprised.I hear a "chemical accident" could definitely be in the cards. Don't rule it out.

Isn't that the dude from Mad TV?
Great Taxi Driver vibe, it also feels like he could be a more introverted relative of this guy, which is a good thing

This is a great opportunity to reintroduce the DC film-o-verse through this Joker movie. What was DCs high-water mark for film? The Dark Knight triology... so... Joachin’s portrayal could secretly be a prequel to Batman Begins. If Joachin’s performance is well received, then he will have earned the place to do post TDK Rises stories with the Joker and “Robin” / new Batman / Night Wing
I would love it
It's the fate of all live action Jokers. ONE cinematic appearance per actor.I don't think Phoenix will return as The Joker in a Batman movie anyway. If this does well, they'll beg him, but Phoenix doesn't strike me as a guy who does franchises. The one off nature of this is probably one of the big reasons he was interested.
Really cool!
