Many months before its premiere, fans theorized that the joker from joaquin phoenix could appear in TheBatman. On several occasions, Robert Pattinson himself denied all these rumors, although of course, they never believed him. Well now it’s Matt Reevesdirector of this film, who has been in charge of completely eliminating the possibilities of this crossover.
Talking with TotalFilm, Reeves stated the following:
“I was finishing the Planet of the Apes movie when I signed on to direct The Batman in 2017. It had been five years in development. When I was working on the script, and really got into it, Joker hadn’t even come out yet. I didn’t know that movie existed, much less what it was going to be like.”
In accordance with Reeveswhen joker premiered, the script for batman it was almost finished already, so they had no reason to modify it at such an advanced stage just to include the joker from phoenix. Of course, this does not mean that the Batman from Pattinson he’s not going to get his own version of the villain, we’ll just have to wait longer to see him on the big screen.
Publisher’s note: While I would have loved to see both versions of these characters share time on the big screen, I think ideally The Batman is going to get its own iteration of Joker. Phoenix did an amazing job in the role, but we also have to give another actor a chance to have their own version of him.
