BATFLECK SET FOR SOLO VENTURE

It isn't in the "news" category, as it was expected as Ben Affleck had signed on for multiple films. To star and direct. For some, the initial thought might have been him involved with only Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, and the "Justice League" follow-ups. It was just hard to imagine DC Comics and WB finally creating and expanding a movieverse, and not including the goddamn Batman.

Now that it is almost guaranteed (remember, Batman V Superman could bomb changing things drastically) we can begin to wonder how things will be approached. Many question immediately come to mind, and am sure that more will arise as things progress.

First question is of course, which Batman will we be seeing? The "older" version we are set to see in "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice"? Or will Batfleck go sans grey and we see a younger Batman in Gotham? Preferably, would like to see a younger version defeating a variety of villains.

Which quickly brings us to the next question, will we see The Joker (Jared Leto) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) making appearances? We do know that Batman will make an appearance in "Suicide Squad" where Mr. J and Harley will be starring alongside other Batman foes like Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and Deadshot (Will Smith). A new Batman, a new Joker, and now three new characters shows there is willingness to test new ground. Bane got his redemption with "The Dark Knight Rises", perhaps now Mr. Freeze can as well.

And then there is the questions of co-stars on the hero side of things. Will we see any version of Robin appear in this? And if there were a Robin, which on would it be? Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, or Damian Wayne? Or would it be a female like Carrie Kelley? Speaking of females, would Batgirl make an appearance, and of course which one? Would Barbara Gordon take on the mantle, or would she be Oracle, or would she even appear at all? And what of Jim Gordon, as there are rumors that he is "dead" in "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice", will he appear in a solo Batman film? Who would play him? since we didn't get him as Lex Luthor, perhaps Brian Cranston could fill the void.

There of course will be two new questions for every one that gets answered as time goes on. This are simply what immedietly comes to mind. Can't wait to see it all play out....here's hoping "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" doesn't suck.

THE JOKER NOT GETTING MAD LOVE?

If not for the internet, we wouldn't get to see anything beyond what would be shown on Entertainment Tonight (or something like that). But then, if not for the internet we wouldn't be exposed to so much hate. Unjustified most of the time. There was the Batfleck casting drama, Wonder Woman not being "big enough" type bullshlacka, and this time around even a clown can't get no love.

That's right, the recently revealed photo of Jared Leto as The Joker made its rounds across the web. While some have learned to take a "wait and see" approach to these things, the majority was already predicting failure for "Suicide Squad". That is usually the case though. People scream for change, yet shun new things (approaches).
Is Jared Leto giving us a version of The Joker that is traditional in the visual sense? No, even though his hair and figure is the closes there has been to the comic books version(s). His teeth? It actually makes sense. How many times has Batman knocked out Mr. J's teeth? One would be safe to assume that The Joker would want to "change them up" every now and again. Then there is the ink job. That is slightly understandable, but at the same time it is something "fresh". And The Joker would be one who may be too vain to get tattoos, but at the same time, he is narcissistic enough to get his "own" tattoos on himself. I wouldn't be shocked if we were to see a Batman logo inked on his back. It would actually "make sense" given his obsession with The Dark Knight.
And although there are still those who disliked Heath Ledger's rendition of The Joker, there were a massive amount of those who had to "eat crow" afterword. From his casting,  to how appeared in promo shots. Heath garnered the same amount of negativity. Sadly he wasn't alive to receive the Oscar, which he would've won regardless.

The funny thing is, while everyone argues over who was the better Joker, and where Leto's rendition will place him (even though we know nothing beyond one picture. one.) among them. Every incarnation of The Joker, even the apparent punk styling and likely "attitude", is actually a piece of who The Joker is. He's a variety of things, and is ever evolving. Just throwing that out there, even though I am sure many will rip both this article and Leto's Joker aha

JARED LETO REPORTEDLY UP FOR ROLE OF THE JOKER

It is being reported that Jared Leto is the front runner for the role of The Joker in the future Suicide Squad movie. One could assume that it is almost a for sure thing, with IGN and even DC Comics themselves reporting on the Oscar winner being up for the role. Of course this is Hollywood after all, and anything can happen.

Initial thought was that DC Comics and Warner Bros. is really pushing the "wait and see" button with their new movieverse. Majority of the nerd world unleashed hell after Ben Affleck was cast as Batman. General opinion was that Gal Gadot wouldn't be a good Wonder Woman. And although there wasn't much noise, it would be safe to assume that there are haters of other casting choices (with the exception of The Rock as Black Adam). Nobody knows if these were the right choices, just as much as noone knowing if they were the wrong choices. Even though there are still those who still dislike them, but Michael Keaton and Heath Ledger both proved the doubters wrong. With box-office numbers at least, for those who dislike their interpretations of Batman and The Joker.

Wait and see. That is what we'll be doing with everything. From the upcoming movies, to even whether or not Jared Leto will be giving us his rendition of the Clown Prince Of Crime. Which again is supposedly Suicide Squad. If he does, first question everyone will ask, is when will we see Affleck's Batman and Leto's Joker share the big screen.
