There was a huge article that Warner Brothers will team with DC Comics to produce a gritty and very dark origins movie on The Joker. The great Martin Scorsese will produce. "The Hangover" director Todd Phillips is slated to direct this as well. Obviously, everything will hinge upon who plays the Clown Prince of Crime. However, if told correctly, this film could be spectacular! A stand-alone film on the origin of the Joker is long overdue!
