Most of the issue seems to be over the fact that an origin story for the Joker is antithetical to the entire concept of the character.
Yesterday, we received news that a new Joker movie was in the works over at Warner Bros. While details on the project are minimal, that hasn’t stopped many from voicing their displeasure with the entire concept.
And because that sentence wasn’t strange enough by itself, the movie is being produced by Martin Scorsese.
You don’t even need to imagine how all this is making the heads of DC fans combust.
