So who owns the Joker? All his movies are dark, gritty, and entertaining AF. Why can't they get the people that make Joker movies to fix Marvel?
Wow, a lot to unpack here.
The Joker is a DC and thus Warner Brothers character. The film Joker seems to have been intended as it's own thing and not part of a larger cinematic universe. Although the movie made so much money that they are working on a sequel with Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn.
Don't know how that's going to turn out.
Anyway, Todd Phillips who directed, wrote and produced Joker said...
Phillips said in 2019, in the aftermath of his dark drama Joker release, that he had stopped making comedy films because of the backlash of "woke culture", saying: "Go try to be funny nowadays... There were articles written about why comedies don't work anymore— I'll tell you why, because all the fucking funny guys are like, 'Fuck this shit, because I don't want to offend you.' It's hard to argue with 30 million people on Twitter."
That sort of mentality does not work out when you're facing your standard issue corporate board.
