Despite consistently saying that his film does not exist within Warner Bros’ larger DC Extended Universe and would not cross over with Robert Pattinson’s upcoming The Batman movie, it looks like Todd Phillips would like to see a Batman movie stem from his Gotham City after all.
“It’s a beautiful Gotham. What I would like to see someone tackle is what Batman looks like from that Gotham,” Joker helmer Todd Phillips told Variety. “I’m not saying I’m going to do that. What was interesting to me about the inclusion of Batman in our movie was, ‘What kind of Batman does that Gotham make?’ That’s all I meant by that.”
Joker was the fourth of Warner Bros’ DC Comics films to hit the $1 billion mark. It starred Joaquin Phoenix as the titular villain.
