According to a new theory, the father of Bruce Wayne would be the connecting bridge between the solo movie of The Bat Man and the film dedicated to the Joker, personified this time by Joaquin Phoenix.
After the confirmation of Joaquin Phoenix as Joker, a few fans wondered if the film that will tell the origins of the character will be connected to The Batman , the new film of the Dark Knight directed by Matt Reeves. That link could be Thomas Wayne, the father of Bruce.

One of the first theories of the film indicated that Robert De Niro would play such an important role. Nevertheless, everything remains in speculations, according to Movieweb, the actor will give life to a secondary personage as a host of local television. On the other hand, no one else has such great importance, in being the missing piece between the two stories, as Thomas Wayne.
If this theory is true, Joker’s adventure on the big screen, through Thomas, would also serve as a source film for Dark Knight, which would eventually culminate in The Batman film. On what we still have no clue is which interpreter will get into the skin of the father of the Dark Hero of Gotham.
Also, this theory makes a lot of sense because of the fact that Warner and DC Films are looking for a new actor to bring Batman to life and completely restart a DC movie universe. Therefore, an encounter between the two heavyweights of DC is very likely, although fans will just have to wait for some news that Warner may have during their panel at Comic Con San Diego, which will take place from July 19 to 22.
