I can understand a sequel to JOKER. I can understand having Lady Gaga play Harley Quinn. But… a musical?
What’s the joke? And who’s the punchline?

JOKER 2: the musical! Starring… Lady Gaga.
No, I’m not making this up:
Continue reading JOKER 2: the musical! Starring… Lady Gaga.A big name is reportedly in talks to join the cast of Joker 2, which has entered development under the working title of Joker: Folie à deux. THR reports that pop culture icon Lady Gaga, who has found great success in both film and music, is in early talks to star in the film. If these talks work out, Gaga would be starring as a new incarnation of Harley Quinn, the supervillain played by Margot Robbie in the DCEU.
This deleted THE BATMAN Joker scene is good, but…
…yeah, it doesn’t really flow with the rest of the movie. Besides, given how people were already complaining just how long THE BATMAN was, it seems reasonable to cut at least this. Still, I’m not gonna begrudge an actor his chance to put on the clown makeup and give it his best hyena laugh. I’m not cruel that way.
The JOKER/CRUELLA fan-made trailer.
This really does work surprisingly well. Although I assume some editing was done to ensure that. But that’s fine. Sometimes you have to help nature along…

The JOKER Honest Trailer.
Gonna be honest: I’m saving JOKER for a day when I’m in a bad mood anyway. Why wreck a good one by getting this in my head?
That’s not a slam of the flick, by the way. I hear that it’s great. But hoo boy but it looks grim.
JOKER opens with 234 million worldwide.
$93.5 million domestic, $140.5 worldwide, and damned if I know if I’m going to go see JOKER. I’m not scared of it or anything — I’m certainly disinclined to make the movie a convenient scapegoat for whatever’s spinning people’s wheels this week — but I hear that it is not a happy movie. I’m not sure if I want to spend one of my lunchtimes this week watching such an aggressively unhappy movie.
But don’t let me stop you! No, seriously. If you want to see it, go for it!
The final JOKER trailer.
Quote of the Day, Somebody Let The Suits Get At The Joker Script edition.
Hey, does this bit about the new Joker movie sound familiar, kids?
Continue reading Quote of the Day, Somebody Let The Suits Get At The Joker Script edition.“We didn’t follow anything from the comic-books, which people are gonna be mad about. We just wrote our own version of where a guy like Joker might come from. That’s what was interesting to me. We’re not even doing Joker, but the story of becoming Joker. It’s about this man.”
My kid approves of Stage Builder coming to Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
I mean, he perked right up and started half-shouting about this: “Roughly one month ago, data miners found some code suggesting that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was getting the Stage Builder mode added. This addition would most likely be part of the 3.0 update that will bring Joker into the fight. Well, now it looks like Nintendo has accidentally leaked that Stage Builder is in fact coming to the game.” My eldest told me that this means right what it says on the label: with it, he’ll be able to design his own stages for Super Smash Bros fights.
Also, he already knew about the rumor, which surprises me. I don’t know why it should, though. He’s clearly more invested in this game than I am.
Leonardo DiCaprio as the Joker?
That’s what the fever swamp rumor mill is suggesting: “Sources say Warners will make an ambitious attempt to use [Martin] Scorsese to bring Leonardo DiCaprio into the world of comic-book movies.” The idea is that Scorsese and DiCaprio work together a lot, and thus having the one might entice the other to play the Joker for Scorsese’s DC Comics art film*. Apparently this would not replace Jared Leto in DCU continuity, which will either please you or sadden you, depending. Continue reading Leonardo DiCaprio as the Joker?
