The Batman
Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Entertainment are develop a unrecorded - action at law film pitting Harley Quinn against The Joker , Screen Rant has learned . This project is set within the DCEU and seems to be in gain to theSuicide Squadsequel ( Jaume Collet - Serrais reportedly in the run to direct ) and could be one and the same as the in - developmentGotham City Sirenswhich see Margot Robbie ’s Quinn in another feature film directed by David Ayer - although we ’ve not been capable to confirm if Ayer ’s involved in this one yet so it could be an entirely separate project in addition to those two .
Both Harley Quinn ( Margot Robbie ) and The Joker ( Jared Leto ) were first introduced in 2016’sSuicide Squaddirected by Ayer , and both stars are attached to return forHarley Quinn vs The Joker . Note that this could just be the work title .
The project is described as a spinoff and Geoff Johns is put to get . No story details or product escort have been set as of yet , but it ’s possible we learn more during the Warner Bros. panel at San Diego ’s Comic - Con International tomorrow where they quetch off the giving day in the convention shopping center ’s Hall H.
The logo discussion for the WB panel was designed in the stylus ofSuicide Squad’scolorful aesthetic so in addition to teasers and draw appearances for this fall’sJustice League , and next year’sAquaman(currently in product ) , gestate an update ticket of timelines and announcement .
At the second , there ’s a lot of uncertainness about the guidance and plan for the continuously develop DCEU . WithThe Flashlosing multiple directors , and Ben Affleck drop out of the director ’s death chair forThe Batman- and new director Matt Reeves starting from scratch with the script - while announcements for Batman cosmos spinoffs are rampant , there ’s no clear idea yet of what the next few years look like in the DCEU . By compare , the Marvel Cinematic Universe has date and deed locked in for the next few years and has had that plan since a few class ago .
We do roll in the hay director Patty Jenkins is returning forWonder Woman 2 , and we break in the big Georgia home boy last week that it ’ll seeChris Pine return alongside sensation Gal Gadot and be set in the ' 80s . It ’s reportedly set to beannounced at SDCCalongside info onSuicide Squad 2 . We do n’t yet know the plan for The Flash , Cyborg , or Green Lantern Corps in the Modern lineup of sequels and spinoffs which also includes Batgirl , Nightwing , and Gotham City Sirens in the Batman creation . Even that seems in question with today ’s report thatBen Affleck ’s future in the DCEU is in question , as was originally rumor when he dropped out of directing .
There ’s also some confusion about whereShazamfits in , a moving-picture show mean to pit the nominal hero against Black Adam ( to be played by Dwayne " The Rock " Johnson ) but then reports hinted that Black Adam could get his own solo flick first . The most recent news on this front is thatShazamwill figure production next year and , as DCEU boss Geoff Johns claims , The Rock wo n’t even be in it .
Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment may take this opportunity to solidify a plan for the public , since every turning point of the DCEU seems to be in a state of flux at the moment . perhaps that makesHarley Quinn vs The Jokera sensible addition to the slate , specially with Affleck on his way out . And maybe that ’s whyJared Leto wo n’t confirm if he ’s inSuicide Squad 2 . The Joker has this alternatively .
Update : sum up clearing on other Gotham - based moving picture potentially involving both The Joker and Harley Quinn .
Update 2 : TheJoker and Harley Quinn movie is confirmed , with Glenn Ficarra and John Requa ( Crazy , Stupid , Love ) to drop a line and verbatim .
