@Th3solution If that turns out to be the case, I'm totally gonna pinch that analogy for my inevitable "so I've just been to see The Rise of Skywalker..." post in December.

@RogerRoger Ha! Probably in some circles.
It's pure pedantry (which I'm OK with), but in TFA and TLJ, everyone using the 'not activation button' to activate the saber really grinds my gears!

That Star Wars trailer looks awesome! Making our way through the movies now since Ive never really seen any of them. Looking forward to seeing it this Christmas!
Joker is a standalone film. It's most likely an Elseworlds story. The reason why people are saying he's not the real Joker but will serve as inspiration for the real Joker that Batman faces later on is because of the age difference. His character in the movie looks like he's 30 years older than young Bruce Wayne.
Warner Bros. intends for Joker to launch DC Black, a line of DC Comics-based films unrelated to the DCEU with darker, more experimental material, similar to comic imprints such as Elseworlds.
Also from Wikipedia @KALofKRYPTON , there's some planning for a sequel maybe too if Phoenix wants to
I just want Joker to be good... That's all... Please don't fudge it up DC 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I'm still not particularly sold on Joker. I don't think for a second that it'll be a bad film, far from it probably - but just one that I'm not all that interested in seeing.
Hopefully they actually take up some of the other imprints. There's really good stuff there.
Fortunately I've zero faith in WB - so I'll not be holding my breath.
@LN78 Ha! I always wanted them them to make it in the 90's and cast Patrick Stewart.

@LN78 I think MCO and Transmet' are disparate enough in approach to work. And as much as I'd love for Rebellion to come up with the goods for MCO - I'll believe it when I see it.
Transmet' would work very well as a TV show. I could buy Hiddleston as Spider, in fact - that could be a masterful bit of casting (if the House of Mouse hasn't got him locked out of other publisher's roles) - but I'd rather crap in my hands and clap than see Hardy as Spider.

@KALofKRYPTON Hence why they reversed all of their decisions later on, although by that point the show was bonkers enough to be able to justify it... but yeah, that. The whole idea of the Joker being a crowdsourced, grassroots movement and a twisted inspirational beacon of anarchic hope to certain types of people.
All this being said, I read an article in Empire magazine whereby the filmmakers explicitly said that they're just wanting to tell this one, standalone story in a really unique way.
So I doubt we'll ever see a sequel, nor will it ever be connected to other Batman films.
