The Batman vs Superman Ben Affleck Batman solo movie could be an adaptation of one of the most famous Batman/Joker stories of all time, the Killing Joke!
The Ben Affleck Batman solo movie is one of the many titles rumored to be on Warner Bros. DC cinematic universe and the Ben Affleck Batman solo movie could feature the plot of the Killing Joke comic.
Comic Central City has reported that Warner Bros has reportedly hired script and screenwriters to make the stories for their upcoming DC cinematic universe films. Unlike the Aquaman movie writers, the Ben Affleck Batman solo movie writers haven't been revealed but DC has reportedly set their sights on making the Ben Affleck Batman Solo movie based on the Killing Joke.
But who would play the Joker?
it seems that Adrien Brody is rumored to be in talks of playing Batman's arch nemesis, The Joker!
In an interview with Metro UK, the Oscar winning actor mentions that he'd like to find his way into one of Zack Snyder's new superhero films and mentioned specifically the role of a villain.
Per Metro UK:
'I would do it if I feel I can contribute something valuable and that the role would be interesting to me because they're long journeys," Brody said. "To me, the villains are way fun! But they don't offer me those roles. If there is an opportunity to do something like that and play a comic book hero or villain, that's not something I'm fundamentally opposed to.'
This has many people connection the dots to a 2007 and later a 2008 report that Brody was up or the role of The Joker. Before Christopher Nolan cast Heath Ledger in the role that would eventually get him a posthumous Oscar win, Brody was considered for the role but lost out. Following the untimely death of Heath Ledger in 2008, Brody's name again surfaced as a possible replacement for The Joker but the character was ultimately left out of The Dark Knight Rises.
According to the Batman Archives, Adrien Brody is rumored to be in talks to play the Joker in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice.
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice cinematographer Larry Fong tweeted the image below, which has a face-down playing card wedged into concrete. Either it's a cruel trick to get conversation going, or Batman's archnemesis, The Joker could be making an appearance in the new film, or at least hinted at for the Justice League feature.
