Joker/Batman Team Up

      Okay, so Jared Leto aka the current Joker recently did an interview with BBC Radio 5 to talk about Suicide Squad and said he wants Joker and Batman to team up....um what?  It might be a little confusing to most of us I would assume, I mean I was all confused when I read it on Comicbook.com earlier. Jared said "I know he's not a villain, but it would be so much fun."  Now if you ask me, in the ten to fifteen minutes Jared was in Suicide Squad, he wasn't that good.  Now I know DC Extended Universe fanboys will get all moody about that statement, but that's just me.  In my eyes, Heath Ledger still reigns supreme.  Jack Nicholson played a great gangster Joker, but Jared Leto just seemed like a awkward combination of Ledger and Nicholson and it didn't really work well for him. Jared is a great actor, I just don't like his Joker.

      Now back to the matter at hand, a Batman and Joker team up would be crazy!  Why would they team up?  What would stop Joker from betraying Batman in the end?  Could they even function together?  Personally, I don't want them to team up and I am sure a lot of people would agree with me, it just seems wrong.  Now could it work out for the DC Extended Universe movies...sure if the circumstances were right.  Maybe someone murders Harley Quinn, Joker and Batman team up to catch them, then Joker kills the person or people at the end.  For those who haven't seen Suicide Squad *SPOILER* the Joker really loves Harley, he doesn't just use her. *END OF SPOILER*   I don't know, this is all speculation.  It may never happen, just being Jared Leto's pipe dream, or it may be something that could happen in a future movie.

     With that I'll be signing off for now, look out for future posts, follow the blog whatever, thanks for looking and see ya next time.

  1. I never really loved any of the live action jokers. As far as suicide squad it seems to me that they tried to do too much with the joker, he was too changed. I also think Leto was a little disappointed that he wasn't central to the movie. Personally I wanna see the DC girls movie get made starring Margot and Gal.

  2. Yeah I agree with the changed part and that he wasn't the star. And definitely bring on a movie with Harley and Wonder Woman!
