Justice League Dark: Apokolips War was an original story that served as a sequel to Justice League Dark. The film served as the finale to the Dcau, which was then rebooted into the Tomorrow-verse. The film deals with some pretty heavy subject matter, concerning the end of the timeline as we knew it.

Given how dark the film was, screenwriter Ernie Altbacker talked to Sci-Fi Now about what it meant for the studio, and how much free reign the creators were given for the movie, given that it was an original script and an original story that did not have any connection to the comics.

FX's critically-acclaimed historical drama Shogun finished up its 10-episode run last week, and Anna Sawai was universally praised for her performance as the tragic Toda Mariko.
Amid the Emmy-nomination talk, the Monarch: Legacy of Monsters star is certain to be inundated with movie offers, and we wouldn't be surprised if she was given a shot at a major superhero role at some point.
Sawai spoke about her career and potential move to Hollywood to THR, revealing that her big break could have come much earlier, but her commitment to her J-Pop band, Faky, meant she was forced to miss her chance to audition for the role of Katana in 2016's Suicide Squad.
“After the training — multiple years of training — you are either lucky and join a group, or debut as a solo singer, or you’re gone,” Sawai explained. “I was like, ‘This is my chance!’ And then...

“You’ve been making women feel bad about themselves since you were invented,” the hip teen Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt) tells the stereotypical Barbie standing before her. “You represent everything wrong with our culture: sexualized capitalism, unrealistic physical ideals.” Stereotypical Barbie is horrified: “No, no, no, you’re describing something stereotypical,” she insists.
Margot Robbie spent much of Barbie proving why the doll she portrayed wasn’t the sexist object that girls like Sasha see. The Aussie actor has a much more difficult task ahead of her if she’s going to do the same thing in her upcoming project Avengelyne. Everything about Avengelyne screams mindless sex and violence—which is why Robbie is the perfect choice. Hold on, let us explain…

WB Animation’s films and shows have always been streets ahead of DC’s live-action offerings. The studio is known for creating shows such as Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League, as well as films such as The Dark Knight Returns and others. The studio’s latest offering Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths will be wrapping up the Tomorrowverse.
The studio has gone through several franchises such as the Timmverse, Dcamu, and the latest Tomorrowverse. However, one of the most beloved franchises that explored many characters in the DC roster was the Dcamu which ended with Justice League Dark: Apokalips War. One of the reasons why the latter is beloved by fans is due to the ‘no limitations’ rule that the studio had which gave freedom to the writers to hold no bars. Spoilers ahead.

We recently got word that a live-action movie based on Rob Liefeld's fantasy/horror comic series Avengelyne was in development, and we have some exciting updates courtesy of Deadline.
As previously reported, the project will be directed by Olivia Wilde (Don't Worry Darling), with LuckyChap, the company Margot Robbie runs with Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara, and Simon Kinberg, on board to produce. Now, we've learned that Warner Bros is negotiating to close a seven-figure film-rights deal for the movie, and Poor Things scribe Tony McNamara has signed on to pen the script.
The trade also confirmed that Robbie is interested in playing the title role, but it sounds like her decision will be script-dependent.
An earlier version of the movie was in the works back in 2013, with former The Mandalorian actress Gina Carano attached to star.

Joker became a topic of discussion as soon as it hit theaters in 2019. And it's not just that Todd Phillips' movie has an ambiguous morality, completely different from typical comic book movies. The director made the audience doubt the reality of what was happening on the screen, allowing everyone to decide which events really happened and which only existed in the main character’s imagination.
The film was initially positioned as an independent work, in no way connected with comic books and especially with the DC cinematic universe. Joker refers more to the early films of Martin Scorsese, often citing Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy.
And even the makeup of the main character does not resemble the classic image of the Joker, but the famous killer clown Pogo, aka John Gacy. This reference is confirmed by the name of the Pogo club where Arthur performs.

With the success of video game adaptations like the iconic The Last of Us and the recently released Prime Video original series Fallout, the upcoming Borderlands film is being expected to continue this trend of excellent adaptation for the fandom of video game culture.
And it seems like Ariana Greenblatt, one of the lead stars in the film, prepared for her role of Tiny Tina with inspiration from none other than Margot Robbie.

It looks as though director Todd Phillips has officially finished Joker: Folie a Deux, with the MPAA officially granting it an R-rating for “some strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality, and brief full nudity.” On the latter, it looks like Joker is about to show us the full monty, doesn’t it? At any rate, the R-rating isn’t a surprise, as that’s what the first film got, and I imagine a PG-13 sequel would have landed with a thud, as fans expect this to be as hardcore and uncompromising as the original.
Here’s the poster:
But, what else do we know about Joker: Folie a Deux? Plenty!

Debuted in May 1939, the “Dark Knight” soon took on a coveted status as the “Caped Crusader” of Detective Comics aka DC. Ever since the character has become a central member of the Justice League and appeared in several editions and adaptations with several big-list names helming the live-action version. However, of the many such actors, Kevin Conroy comes off as arguably one of the most cherished ones to play Batman across several performances.
Featuring a distinctive voice, the late American actor has appeared in more than a staggering fifteen movies, close to four hundred television episodes, and even reprised his role in about twenty-four video games. An icon in his arena, Conroy’s iterations of Batman have become synonymous with the gritty and strong tone of speech associated with the character, and here are five of his most memorable such outings.

The ongoing speculation about Henry Cavill stepping into the iconic role of 007 is once again making headlines, following Daniel Craig’s departure as James Bond. While nothing has been officially confirmed yet, excitement is through the roof as various talented actors are being considered. Although Cavill missed out on the opportunity to portray the British detective almost two decades ago, will fate finally favor him this time?
A fan-made trailer circulating online further proves why fans think Cavill will be best suited for the role, with his commanding presence and charisma making a strong impression. As Margot Robbie and the Superman actor engage in a riveting showdown, the concept becomes even more intriguing.

During its existence, the DC Extended Universe (Dceu) gave rise to some historic blunders. My personal favorite was when Dwayne Johnson simply refused to accept that his "Black Adam" movie wasn't very good, but the ill-fated shared universe has a plethora of greatest hits when it comes to cinematic slip-ups, from the box office disappointment that was "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" to the box office bomb of super-heroic proportions that was "The Flash."
Look, it's extremely difficult to build a shared cinematic universe. Aside from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the only action franchise that's really achieved anything of note in the last few years is the "John Wick" saga, and even that can't hope to match the historic highs of the MCU. So you can't really fault DC and Warner Bros. for failing to establish an enduring cinematic multiverse — though that hasn't stopped David Ayer from trying.

During a time when the Dceu was struggling to satisfy the fans with their offerings, Warner Bros. sought the help of filmmaker Todd Phillips, who created Joker, the superhero blockbuster of 2019 that took the world by storm.

Everything that the film had to offer during it’s run time was appreciated by the audience to an almost unprecedented degree since each scene was so exceptionally well-executed. And of course, just like with any other film, there were many scenes that didn’t make the final cut.
But in the past, Phillips revealed that there were more than what people expected, which they can also expect to never see with their eyes anytime soon.

The trailer for Joker 2: Folie à Deux dropped today, and it’s sending chills up the spines of DC Comics fans. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, the musical psychological thriller sees the Joker (Phoenix) finding some unhinged form of love in Gaga’s Harley Quinn. Joker 2: Folie à Deux brings another fandom into the fold with the “Bloody Mary” singer‘s Little Monsters. In honor of Lady Gaga’s role, let’s look at her wildest and more out-there looks of all time:

En la película, el oscarizado Joaquin Phoenix vuelve a interpretar a Arthur Fleck. Le acompaña Lady Gaga en un papel coprotagonista como Harley Quinn. Además de Gaga y Phoenix, también forman parte del reparto Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland y Harry Lawtey en papeles aún no revelados, mientras que Leigh Gill y Sharon Washington retoman sus papeles como Gary y la trabajadora social de Arthur, respectivamente.
Es poco lo que se sabe sobre el argumento de la segunda parte, que según se dice es una jukebox musical. El director Todd Phillips ha dicho que la película incluirá muchos números musicales y bailes.

After serving the entertainment industry for more than a decade, Margot Robbie finally found astronomical success in Hollywood, following her appearances in The Wolf of Wall Street and Barbie. While the two iconic movies helped her land a spot among the highest-paid actresses, Robbie gained this phenomenal success after weathering a fair share of box office flops.

The 2019 Joker film starring Joaquin Phoenix was a game changer for DC as director Todd Phillips created something unique out of the character that was never done before. Instead of the usual confrontation between Joker and Batman, the film focused on exploring Joker’s psychological deterioration in a crime-ridden Gotham City.

Debuting at Las Vegas’s CinemaCon – and online soon thereafter – the trailer for Todd Phillips’s follow-up to ‘Joker,’ the Best Picture nominee that won Joaquin Phoenix the Best Actor Oscar, blew up the internet late Tuesday night. The two-and-a-half-minute promo answered many lingering questions about the film.
As the title suggests, it’s very much about the mad love shared between Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck/Joker and Lady Gaga’s Harlene Quinzel/Harley Quinn. In DC Comics lore, Quinn starts as a psychiatrist who is then lured into Joker’s orbit; here it appears that she’s already one of his fellow inmates at Arkham Asylum when they meet.
Recent news leaks and some photos suggested that the film, which won the top prize at the 2019 Venice Film Festival, would be a “jukebox musical.” It’s still a little unclear just how much singing-and-hoofin’ Phoenix and Gaga will do,...

It’s a tale as old as Bat-time: an Arkham Asylum psychologist named Harleen Quinzel is driven mad by the Joker and she becomes the insane clown’s accomplice and oft-abused paramour. More recent takes on the character, especially in the comics, have seen Harley Quinn thankfully break up with the Clown Prince of Crime and become more of an anti-hero, but the upcoming film Joker: Folie a Deux is taking a more familiar approach to this dark “love story.” Sort of.
The first trailer for Todd Phillips’ follow-up to his hit 2019 horror flick confirms not only that the highly-anticipated sequel is heavily inspired by musicals but also that Lady Gaga is playing a version of Harley with a different backstory than the one first introduced in Batman: The Animated Series and later adopted by the comics.

Joaquin Phoenix is back as the Joker in the soon-to-be-released, Joker: Folie à Deux. Reprising his Oscar-winning role, the actor seems as charming and as terrifying as ever in the first teaser trailer of the movie by Warner Bros. Accompanying him is the equally menacing Harley Quinn aka pop star Lady Gaga.

Ever since the first success of the first Joker made headlines and broke the internet, fans of comic book films and of the titular character have been asking filmmaker Todd Phillips for updates on the second film in the series, which is titled Joker: Folie á Deux.
And just recently, fans got a glimpse of what to expect from the upcoming film as the first trailer just dropped, and people are labeling it as a musical sequel to the original.

Phillips knew that this was going to happen, which is why he claimed several times about how the film would follow the original narrative style from the first film, and that the musical element would just be part of the audience experience. But even after this claim was made publically, fans aren’t convinced of this.

Is it a musical? Is it not? That's been the big question on everyone's lips about Todd Phillips' Joker sequel, known as Joker: Folie À Deux. And the first teaser trailer doesn't exactly clear it up (Phillips on stage at Tuesday's CinemaCon event said he doesn't consider a musical but that music is a key element), but it's certainly full of tune-age.
More as predicted, the new film finds Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck in Arkham Asylum, and it's there he meets Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn – here not the traditional psychologist he ends up corrupting, but a fellow inmate (and something of a fan), who forms a love connection with our hero.
Expect twisted romance, songs, performances, violence and — yes! Steve Coogan too.
Joker: Folie À Deux will be in cinemas on 4 October.

Warner Bros has released the first real look at Todd Philips’ sequel to 2019’s Joker – Joker: Folie A Deux.
When Joker released in 2019 it became one of the most talked about films of the year, not to mention one of the most commercially successful. Todd Philips’ take on the Clown Prince of Crime’s origin story featured an absorbing central performance from Joaquin Phoenix that would earn the actor an Oscar, adding another memorable cinematic interpretation of the popular character to what is becoming an increasingly long list.
Given that the first film grossed over a billion dollars at the global box office, Warner Bros was very keen to secure Philips and Phoenix for a sequel.

The new poster for Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie à Deux features a menacing jig performed by the villainous duo, suggesting that Phoenix’s Joker has found his wild match in Gaga’s Harley Quinn. The Brooklyn-born director, 53, attended the film’s Tuesday night CinemaCon Las Vegas presentation, where Warner Bros. debuted the first trailer for the project.

“Joker: Folie à Deux” drops its first trailer, with Joaquin Phoenix reprising his award-winning supervillain role. Lady Gaga will be playing Dr. Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn. Given Gaga’s New York roots, I expected her to have a Brooklyn accent, but she didn’t. Don’t expect her to sound like Arleen Sorkin, Tara Strong, or Margot Robbie’s version. Perhaps the accent isn’t present yet because she hasn’t fully transitioned into Harley; she’s still the psychiatric doctor. Zazie Beetz who is Joker’s love interest Sophie Dumond in the first film will also return. Are we going to have a love triangle? The first film finally gave Joaquin Phoenix his flowers because it won him Best Actor at the Oscars and other Award Winning bodies. It is hard to top the first movie so they decided to try something new with this sequel. It is going to be a musical.
