In addition to its financial earnings,Jokerwas just as successful with fans and critics with nearly universal acclaim.Joaquin Phoenixwon the Oscar for Best Actor based on his performance inJokeras Arthur Fleck.
Jokeris directed by Todd Phillips and written by Phillips and Scott Silver. It stars Phoenix as a clown-for-hire down on his luck, following his transformation into Gotham City’s most infamous supervillain. Along with Phoenix, the movie also stars Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, and Douglas Hodge. Phillips, Bradley Cooper, and Emma Tillinger Koskoff produced.
Phillips developedJokerwith the plan of the movie serving as a standalone story with no sequels or spinoffs. Even so, the success of the movie has led to talks ofJoker 2entering development, and the project is rumored to be in the early stages. In May, it was reported that Phillips had signed on to co-writeJoker 2, but this wasn’t officially confirmed by Warner Bros. Phillips has also touched on the possibilities of whereJoker 2could go, even suggesting that Batman could play more of a role in the story of part two. However, he suggested that another filmmaker could be the one to take on the reins.
“It’s a beautiful Gotham. What I would like to see someone tackle is what Batman looks like from that Gotham,” Phillips previously told Variety. “I’m not saying I’m going to do that. What was interesting to me about the inclusion of Batman in our movie was, ‘What kind of Batman does that Gotham make?’ That’s all I meant by that.”
In any case, the original will always stand tall with DC fans whether or not the rumored sequel ever really sees the light of day. You can find the Baby Series JK Baby figure from different sellers on eBay. This information comes to us fromComicBook.com.
