When Matt Reeves confirmed that he was working on The Batman, a movie starring Robert Pattinson, many fans wondered if his arch-nemesis Joker would be included in the story, but the director rejected that idea.
However, some recent statements by journalist Daniel Richtman, assure that the filmmaker plans to include the villain in the second and third films of the trilogy.
According to Ritchman, neither Jared Leto from Suicide Squad, nor Joaquin Phoenix in his latest version of Joker, will be the ones to give life to Batman’s enemy.
Despite the fact that Joker does not appear in the first feature film, the report indicates that he will be mentioned. On the other hand, it is unknown who will be in charge of interpreting the ‘Clown Prince of Crime’.
The situation has been compared to Christopher Nolan’s initial idea that, in his ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy, he intended to include Heath Ledger in the third film, but due to the actor’s sudden death, the proposal failed to be carried out.
The Batman will feature a prestigious cast like Zoe Kravitz (Catwoman), Andy Serkis (Alfred Pennyworth), Colin Farrell (Penguin), Jeffrey Wright (James Gordon), Paul Dano (Enigma), Peter Sarsgaard (Gil Colson) and John Turturro (Carmine Falcone).
Due to the development of the new coronavirus ( COVID-19 ), the film delayed its release until October 1, 2021, which might be subject to change.
