Mark Hamill is already well-versed in the Batman franchise due to his iconic voiceover of the Joker in Batman: The Animated Series. However, getting the Clown Prince of Crime role was not an easy feat as the actor had to fill in the role when the animators had already worked on some of the episodes.

He’s undoubtedly the best Joker in the animated world, which would make one naturally interested in how he landed the role in the first place. His audition story is quite intriguing which would spark a desire among fans to see him portray the character in live-action.

Todd Phillips called a wrap on “Joker: Folie à Deux,” the sequel to his runaway 2019 hit “Joker.” Joaquin Phoenix, who won the Oscar for his sociopathic antihero prone to inappropriate laughter, has returned as Arthur Fleck/Joker, and Lady Gaga is appearing as a variant of Harlene Quinzel/Harley Quinn, the psychiatrist-turned-lover of the Clown Prince of Crime.
The movie, which shot on location outside the same New York City courthouses that welcomed Donald Trump earlier this week, is expected to be in theaters next fall. It is set in a “pocket universe” (or “Elseworld”) of DC Comics lore, with no connection to the previous Zack Snyder-produced films, the upcoming series guided by James Gunn and Peter Safran, or the other Batman movies directed by Matthew Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson.
To celebrate the conclusion of principal photography, the 52-year-old writer-director-producer shared character portraits of his two stars on Instagram.

“Joker: Folie a Deux” will see Phoenix reprise his Oscar-winning performance as Arthur Fleck, a failed, mentally ill comedian driven to nihilistic madness and who develops the alter ego Joker to get revenge on the rich and powerful in Gotham City. Along with Phoenix’s Oscar, “Joker” became the first comic book...

This report is not a drill! According to Deadline, Mike Flanagan has pitched a horror-centric creature feature about the classic DC villain Clayface! Before I explode from thinking about the possibilities (Clayface is among my top villains in comics), the project has not yet been given the green light… yet. To be clear, the studio has not said “No,” but there have been no offers or deals for the project. If DC approves the project, Clayface will be a villain—none of the villain-becomes-hero nonsense.
Deadline says Flanagan and his Intrepid Pictures partner Trevor Macy had a meeting with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran. The outlet says Flanagan wasn’t pitching the villain as a part of Matt Reeves’ The Batman sequel. However, Deadline also says scripts are constantly in flux, and Clayface is “a big addition to The Batman 2.” I wouldn’t cash that check yet, folks.

When we last saw the Joker, he had murdered talk show host Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro) on live television, resulting in him being arrested and taken to Arkham Asylum. The above photo depicts Fleck getting a shave, presumably within those walls. The boney build remains, too. For the first film, Joaquin Phoenix lost more than 50 pounds.
Phillips has been teasing other bits about Joker: Folie à Deux, but there is so much unknown about the sequel,...

After months of hints and speculation, it has finally been confirmed that Daredevil is back, this time on a different streaming service, Disney+. The original series that ran for three seasons on Netflix starred Charlie Cox as blind lawyer/superhero Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime. The series also featured some of the most savage superhero action this side of Punisher: War Zone. As Cox and D’Onofrio made their way into the far more family-friendly MCU, many assumed that they would have to tone down the violence. But the subtitle of the new series throws that into question.
During the Marvel panel at Sdcc, MCU boss Kevin Feige revealed that the 18-episode Daredevil: Born Again will arrive on Disney+ in Spring 2024. For most people, the subtitle simply refers to the fact that Cox is returning to the role after six years. But for comic book readers,...
