The Joker Movie Didn't Change Anything from the Script

WB Allegedly Cut the Budget of Joker so Todd Phillips Wouldn’t Make the Film

WB Allegedly Cut the Budget of Joker so Todd Phillips Wouldn’t Make the Film

Ever since Suicide Squad, WB has been notorious for studio meddling, and for a whole films have come out entirely different from what the directors have originally intended. With Joker being one big risk for the studio, it's actually a relief to know that they mostly kept the movie intact.

This comes from The GWW's Thomas Polito:

Of course, with October still months away, there's still a big chance that there could be some changes to the movie, but for now, I think everything is looking good. Trailer response was great, and it looks like most fans are onboard for this grittier take on the Clown Prince of Crime.

I guess the only way they can ruin it is if they forced this movie to become a franchise or tell the director to connect this version of Joker to the larger DCEU.

With this movie happening in its own separate timeline, a lot of fans are hoping that this opens doors for more experimental DC movies going forward. With the MCU basically pumping out films based on their tried and tested formula, I want to see some more of these experimental films from DC. Give us Red Son Superman or Batman: Crimson Mist.

Failed comedian Arthur Fleck encounters violent thugs while wandering the streets of Gotham City dressed as a clown. Disregarded by society, Fleck begins a slow dissent into madness as he transforms into the criminal mastermind known as the Joker.

Catch the Joker movie when it hits theaters Oct. 4.
