Known for his iconic portrayal of Batman in Zack Snyder’s Dceu, Ben Affleck has given a ton of smash-hit blockbusters that have made a major mark at the box office. From Good Will Hunting to Air, Affleck did not shy away from showcasing his acting range, as he can embody himself in any role, irrespective of the genre.

Over the years, the Argo actor has accomplished a lot in his acting career. However, there was a time in his career when he took a nose dive after working in three flops in the same year.
This streak also included a film where he worked with his wife, Jennifer Lopez, the 2003 film titled Gigli, which made fans question his ability to choose a good script.

1974. It was the year when Hollywood was on its way to creating masterpieces, and the year in which Jack Nicholson starred in Roman Polanski’s iconic film Chinatown.

Val Kilmer is widely recognized for his role as Batman in Joel Schumacher’s 1995 film, but according to the actor, his biographical film about the rock band The Doors and its frontman Jim Morrison was the role that challenged him as an artist.

Joe Johnston’s 1991 superhero movie The Rocketeer begins in the usual way, with orange opening credits against a black screen. Only the slight tinkling of piano hints at something greater, little notes of inspiration under the art deco script on display. Sure enough, after the title reveal, the score pauses. The black screen is revealed to actually be the doors of a hangar bay, and the strings in James Horner’s score rise to a crescendo. They are announcing the hopes hanging on the yellow biplane that emerges.
A warm, confident scene of pilot Cliff Secord (Billy Campbell) proving to his mechanic Peevey (Alan Arkin) and their pals that he’s got what it takes to win a race is an odd way to open a superhero movie, even one of the pulp-inspired films that Hollywood cranked out after Batman hit it big in 1989.

No, we don’t think there is a friendship in Tinseltown more storied or star-studded than the dynamic duo of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Since their early days in the ethereal cornfields of Phil Alden Robinson’s Field of Dreams, these kindred spirits have been thick as thieves, a pair whose bond would make even the stars jealous.
But it was not until they struck Oscar gold with Gus Van Sant’s masterpiece Good Will Hunting that their names became etched in our hearts, catapulting them from boys-next-door to A-list actors.

With just a couple of months left before Tim Burton and Michael Keaton's long-awaited Beetlejuice Beetlejuice arrives in theaters, DC Comics has shared a slew of variant covers featuring the chaotic "bio-exorcist" invading the DC Universe.
These will begin rolling out next month and feature the sequel's title character crossing paths with the likes of Superman, Wonder Woman, and Harley Quinn.
However, the cover which has received the most attention is Beetlejuice looming large over Batman; it's not just any version of the Dark Knight, though! As we're sure you'll notice, that's the Batman played by Keaton in Burton's Batman and Batman Returns.
Here's when and where you'll find each of these variant covers:
Gotham City Sirens #2 - August 13 House of Secrets #92 (2024 Facsimile Edition) - August 21 Nightwing #117 - August 21 Superman #17 - August 21 Wonder Woman #12 - August 21 Batman #152 - September 4

Gotham City is where the notorious yet enchanting underbelly thrives, not just from the diverse cast of supervillains but also from the artful orchestration of ‘regular’ criminals. Among them stands a figure emblematic of the city’s organized crime: Carmine Falcone. Portrayed in Matt Reeves’ The Batman by John Turturro, this character added a layer of gritty realism to the beloved franchise.
But did you know that behind Turturro’s newfound villainous persona lay a childhood admiration not for the Caped Crusader but for the swashbuckling Zorro?

His journey—from being fascinated by Zorro to playing a crucial part in Gotham’s dark plot & even penning a moving “letter” to Steven Spielberg asking him to don the mask of Zorro himself—speaks volumes about his love for these legendary figures.

Batman is one of those superheroes that you can never get bored with, and even if you are not getting the main character himself, his villains and allies are also very entertaining to watch. That’s why in this article, we will discuss all of the upcoming Batman projects, including the upcoming Joker sequel and Matt Reeves‘ The Batman spin-off series The Penguin. We have divided all the titles into two parts: live-action and animated. While most of the fans are only privy to the live-action Batman films, the hardcore fans have been seeing much more of the Dark Knight in DC’s animated universe.

While the dramatic movements of projects at Warner Bros. seemed to have calmed down and despite some big decisions being made on gambles like Kevin Costner’s Horizon series, the studio is still working on some re-arrangement of their properties. It was reported earlier that upcoming series that were meant to be exclusive to the Max streaming app are now becoming HBO originals. Previously, all shows that were based on Warner Bros. IP fell under the Max umbrella, which felt like the most obvious way to separate the label from HBO. “We felt like we had to delineate between an HBO show and a Max show,” HBO and Max content CEO Casey Bloys said. “The idea of using Warner Bros. IP as a delineation for Max felt right. At least that gives you a clear lane. But as we started producing those shows, we were using the same methods, the same kind of thinking,...

When Variety broke the news last month that HBO and Max content CEO Casey Bloys had changed the delineation between what an “HBO show” and a “Max show” is, there was an asterisk attached. Max’s big-budget, tentpole Warner Bros. IP projects like the “Harry Potter” TV show, the “It” prequel series “Welcome to Derry” and the Green Lantern adaptation “Lanterns” — were moving to under the HBO umbrella, but those coming before 2025 would not.
Here was the rub, much to Bloys’ chagrin: The two shows premiering this fall that had inspired Bloys to change his tune, “The Penguin” and “Dune: Prophecy,” couldn’t contractually make the switch. The shows had already been sold to international outlets as Max Originals, and those kinds of complicated deals are hard to unwind and revise.

Danny Elfman Sued For Defamation By Composer Who Previously Sued Him For Sexual Misconduct – Reports

Composer Nomi Abadi has filed suit for defamation against composer Danny Elfman, according to media reports
In the Los Angeles Superior Court suit, Abadi claims statements Elfman made to Rolling Stone last year “peddled appalling lies for publication to Rolling Stone about Nomi.”
The statements made by Elfman and his representatives dismissed Abadi’s allegations of sexual misconduct. Instead, the complaint claims Elfman and his team depicted Abadi as “a scorned woman seeking revenge and money to make Elfman ‘pay for having rejected her.’”
Attorney Eric George filed the defamation suit today on behalf of Abadi, as reported by Rolling Stone and several other media outlets.
Elfman’s statements were part of a Rolling Stone story published in July 2023. That story said that Elfman had a previously unreported settlement and nondisclosure agreement with Abadi. She accused him of multiple instances of sexual harassment and misconduct. Elfman denied those allegations.

What happens when a cartoon becomes a timeless classic and surpasses the standards of entertainment? Bruce Timm’s Batman: The Animated Series, or Btas, achieved just that, reaching unprecedented heights with its exceptional blend of aesthetics, profound narratives, & spellbinding artwork.
Having said that, it’s no surprise that many fans herald this series as the quintessential portrayal of the Dark Knight and his rogues’ gallery. Each episode served as a canvas, painting rich backstories for Gotham’s characters.

Zoë Kravitz was just trying to “reclaim” the word pussy. The “Batman” star, who previously played Catwoman herself, recently told Entertainment Weekly that her feature directorial debut “Pussy Island” was retitled to “Blink Twice” after she realized that some women found the term “pussy” offensive.
“Interestingly enough, after researching it, women were offended by the word, and women seeing the title were saying, ‘I don’t want to see that movie,’ which is part of the reason I wanted to try and use the word, which is trying to reclaim the word, and not make it something that we’re so uncomfortable using,” Kravitz said. “But we’re not there yet. And I think that’s something I have the responsibility as a filmmaker to listen to. I care about people seeing the film, and I care about how it makes people feel.”

On the other hand, there is Henry Cavill who literally looked like he had stepped out from a Superman comic book.

Rema‘s first full-length studio album in two years is only days away. The Nigerian musician will follow up his 2022 debut Rave & Roses with Heis, set for release on Thursday, July 11. The record’s announcement arrives alongside the new single “Hehehe,” available now.
“Hehehe” captures Rema’s diabolical laughter as he brushes his critics to the side. “Monday morning, talking about me while I’m making money/Hehe-hehe-hehe-hehe-he/I’m not gonna take it easy on my hater,” he says at the start of the track over production that sounds...

DC Studios and Max have confirmed that The Penguin will premiere on the streaming platform this September and we finally have what may be a specific date for the show's debut.
Buried in a recent Prime Video press release for the Batman: Caped Crusader trailer launch (watch it here if you missed it) is the news that, "On the TV side, [6th & Idaho] produced the Batman spinoff series, The Penguin, starring Colin Farrell."
"The eight-episode limited series continues The Batman epic crime saga created by Reeves and will be released by Max on September 19."
Over the weekend, you might have noticed September 8 being mentioned as The Penguin's likely premiere date. While Max has yet to confirm this September 19 release, September 8 was pulled from a recent piece by The Hollywood Reporter and the trade quickly removed it upon realising it was incorrect.

Have you ever been given a gift and then seen it destroyed? For example, let’s say someone gave you a beautiful yacht. It looks amazing and has every amenity you could ever wish for. You take it out one day to sea, go home, and then when you come back it’s been painted green and had a creepy clown statue turned into the figurehead. When you ask why the person who gave you the yacht would do this to your beautiful boat, you’re told “Well I think it looks better this way”. Now imagine that’s a superhero TV show and that it was created by a pair of people who were behind two of the greatest comic book movies of all time.
So what was that TV show? Well, it was called M.A.N.T.I.S. and who were the two creators? Sam Raimi and Sam Hamm. Yes, the...

There have been rumblings for the better part of a year that DC Comics is planning another reboot. The publisher has overhauled the DC Universe many times in the past, all in a bid to drum up interest and increase sales.
Longtime Batman writer Scott Snyder is believed to be spearheading the initiative. However, "Absolute Comics" will be a separate line from the main DC Comics continuity which is similar, but not identical, to Marvel Comics Ultimate Universe.
That started as a way of retelling the origin stories of characters like Spider-Man and the X-Men in a reality more like our own and without decades of baggage and hard-to-follow continuity. Recently, it's been relaunched again, this time in a world that, for years, had no superheroes (meaning Peter Parker has become Spider-Man in his 30s).

DC's Arkham Asylum TV Series Scrapped at Max - Main Image
The planned Arkham Asylum TV series has been scrapped at Max after years of being stuck in development.
Warner Bros., Max, and DC have been developing a TV series set in the infamous Gotham City hospital that was originally intended as a spinoff series of The Batman before James Gunn came on board and decided to turn it into a Dcu project.
However, it underwent several changes behind the scenes as different showrunners were initially attached to the project before Antonio Campos joined and spearheaded the latest iteration.

It was recently confirmed that Max is no longer moving forward with the Arkham Asylum TV series.

There are many incidents when a decision made by an actor significantly alters the course of their entire life and career. For Keanu Reeves, however, a pivotal choice could have not only reshaped his trajectory but potentially spared Val Kilmer from a path that ultimately tarnished his reputation as an actor in the industry.

Kilmer took on the role of the DC superhero Batman in the 1995 film Batman Forever. While the film performed quite well at the box office, Kilmer’s on-set behavior contributed to a growing perception of him being a difficult actor to work with. However, if Reeves had accepted the offer, Kilmer might have potentially avoided facing such consequences.

In the film industry, there is perhaps no other actor who is more dedicated and talented than Christian Bale. He is the last of the stars, who would go to any extent to fully immerse themselves in the roles they play, without worrying about the impact it would have on their health. Some of his most iconic projects would be American Psycho, The Machinist, Ford v Ferrari, and many more.

But the one film that elevates his stardom from the rest would be Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy. Bale’s collaboration with Christopher Nolan in the trilogy featured an impeccable performance from the actor.

Often considered the fan-favorite actor for his modern-day portrayal of the iconic DC superhero Batman, Christian Bale went through an intense physical transformation for the role. However, appearing in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy that remains etched in cinematic history, Bale noted facing a formidable adversary during a behind-the-scenes interview.

While donning the supercool Batsuit and appearing as the Caped Crusader is almost every guy’s dream come true, Christian Bale begged to differ, especially after his firsthand experience. Much like every other Batman actor who has complained about the painful headaches and discomfort caused by the Batsuit, even Bale corroborated the same. But unlike his predecessors, the English actor turned adversity into art.

In 2009, a relatively unknown developer, Rocksteady Studios, did something out of the box. It released a comic book video game that was truly revolutionary. Its name was Batman: Arkham Asylum. It wasn’t even the first good superhero game, but it had great titles based on comic books, which are so rare. More impressively, it wasn’t just a one-trick pony. The Arkham series has delivered high-quality games in the following years.

Matt Damon has profusely told fans that Batman is no match for Jason Bourne, and he stands by this thought. The actor, who has appeared in four Bourne movies, believes his character can beat the Caped Crusader in a fight.

Starting his acting career with Australian TV shows, Russell Crowe sailed prominently through the sea of talent in Hollywood and went on to leave an undeniable mark on cinema. The Oscar-winning actor made his resounding screen persona felt with 2000’s Gladiator even as movies like Romper Stomper and The Sum of Us had already put him in the spotlight.
Boasting international acclaim and easily being one of the most recognized faces globally, he still has a long way to go before settling down anytime soon.

In a testament to his versatility and knack for living all his passions to the fullest, Crowe has also not shied behind when it came to music. Demonstrating his singing abilities in several of his outings, he, however, missed out on a chance to make that part of his career enjoy a broader limelight in his portfolio.

Starfield‘s continued decline and the near-sealed fate of becoming the most controversial Bethesda game ever shows no signs of stopping. Despite almost turning things around for itself after the recent Xbox Games Showcase, the game has fallen back hard yet again due to what can only be described as one of Bethesda’s most tone-deaf decisions.
With their decision to introduce paid mods into the game, Bethesda has lit a fire within its community, causing an uproar that it should already be familiar with. It has long been said that the company has a somewhat flawed understanding of its fans’ desires, and given what it just did, perhaps it rings true after all.

Jude Law may have steely blue eyes but he wasn’t quite ready to play the Man of Steel himself, confirming that while he had the chance to portray Superman, he just couldn’t find the inner strength to do so.
Speaking with The Playlist, Jude Law said he was a serious contender to play the DC superhero for Brett Ratner’s scheduled movie, titled Superman: Flyby. “This is true. Yeah. And there was a process of flirtation going on. And I always resisted because it just felt like [off]. And I know you can say, ‘Well, but you played Yonn-Rogg and Dumbledore!’ It just felt like a step too far.”

There have been several actors who have portrayed the hit DC hero, Batman, in different live-action projects. While some left an indelible mark on the character, others were not as well received. But Val Kilmer’s portrayal of the titular character is one of the most underrated portrayals of the Dark Knight.

Despite being slated to appear in another film, he states he left the film because of scheduling conflicts, although there have been several different versions of the story. But what really made him quit might have been an epiphany he had while meeting Warren Buffet.

The Tim Burton and Johnny Depp collaborations are certainly prolific. While Depp was a teen star on the Fox series 21 Jump Street, he had a weird creative force inside of him that a high school cop series didn’t fulfill. Then came a new movie called Edward Scissorhands that paired Depp with his long-time director friend. Deadline reports that Depp is being featured in a new docu-series that’s a retrospective on the career of Tim Burton, and the actor reveals who he beat out for the part of Edward.
According to People, Depp said the competition was stiff for the titular character and names like Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and even the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, were being considered for the role. Depp explained that Cruise “was not far away from actually playing Edward Scissorhands — true story.” Depp admitted to thinking, “He’s never going to cast...

British filmmaker Peter Chelsom became obsessed with photography at the age of 13 after his father gifted him a Kodak Retinette 1B camera for his birthday. “Suddenly everything became photography,” says the veteran director of films like 2001’s Serendipity, starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale and the 2004 Jennifer Lopez-starrer Shall We Dance. “I was obsessed with it. And that’s why I became a filmmaker.”
Now the director, who has been a resident of the Lunigiana region of Tuscany for many years, is preparing to host Dream Role, an exhibition of 50 photographs, many of them previously unpublished, that capture not only moments with the famous actors he’s worked with over the years but also everyday moments and childhood places from Chelsom’s life.

There are ample reasons why Matt Reeves’ superhero flick with its noir edges and pensive tones instantly bewitched fans. From Robert Pattinson’s brooding Caped Crusader against the tragic backdrop of Gotham City and a rich, compelling storyline that highlights Batman’s detective side to the laudable production, The Batman was both a cinematic and commercial success.

But where Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne checked all the boxes and more, Barry Keoghan’s Joker seems to have fallen short. Or at least that’s what some moviegoers think.
How Barry Keoghan’s Joker in The Batman Differs From Past Versions
Unlike previous versions of the classic villain, Barry Keoghan’s Clown Prince of Crime in Matt Reeves’ The Batman has a congenital condition owing to which he cannot stop smiling. Not only that, but the Joker also has a more distinct facial scarring, which only accentuates Keoghan’s malformed look.

The Dark Knight trilogy saw Gary Oldman step into the role of a good guy. This was a change of pace for the actor, who was used to playing villains throughout his career.
But when he looked at Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker, Oldman felt it wasn’t too unlike the characters he used to play himself in his younger years.

Out of all the roles he played, Oldman once admitted that he found portraying Commissioner Jim Gordon among his most difficult. Commissioner Gordon was as moral as they came in Christopher Nolan’s Batman series. But Oldman confided that playing someone so good was harder than it looked.
“The good guy, the incorruptible, straight as an arrow Jim Gordon,” Oldman once reflected on BBC Radio 1.

2017’s “War For The Planet Of The Apes” marked the end of Matt Reeves’ “Planet Of The Apes” reboot trilogy (started by filmmaker director Rupert Wyatt). That series was originally conceived of by screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, who remained exec producers on all three films, and they are back as central players in the next installment of this series, “Kingdom Of The Planet of the Apes” which takes place nearly 300 years after the events of “War For The Planet Of The Apes.”

Oppenheimer Maker Christopher Nolan On Robert Downey Jr As Iron Man ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Christopher Nolan has given us some mind-boggling films over the years, such as Interstellar, Inception, The Prestige, and Oppenheimer last year. Like Nolan, known for his excellent cinematic work, his actor Robert Downey Jr. is also a global star. Appreciated for his Batman trilogy, the director recently praised Rdj for portraying Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Keep scrolling for more.
A few days back, Rdj revealed going to Nolan for the role of Scarecrow in Batman Begins but got rejected. The role eventually went to Cillian Murphy, who has been integral to Nolan’s filmography. The trio has been ruling the Hollywood awards this year, and fans hope they will also bag the Oscars.
Christopher Nolan has often spoken highly of Robert Downey Jr, and he truly admires the actor in Iron Man’s role in the MCU.

With his outstanding performance in "Saltburn," Barry Keoghan has solidified himself as one of the most exciting and sought-after up-and-coming stars — and it's not just because of that provocative final shot. Sure, the TikTokers were all over "Saltburn" because of its generous helping of full-frontal Keoghan nudity, but the Irish star also delivered a truly unsettling performance as a disturbed student who becomes obsessed with Jacob Elordi's Felix and his upper-class family.
Anyone who followed Keoghan's career prior to "Saltburn" knew he was capable of such feats, especially those who'd seen his equally brilliant portrayal of disturbed teen Martin in 2017's "The Killing of a Sacred Deer." But it's not just the mentally unstable that Keoghan has a knack for playing so well, though that particular talent will no doubt come in handy when the actor has his proper debut as the Joker in Matt Reeves' Batman universe.

Small towns hide secrets. They’re typically really good at it too because the smaller the town it seems the darker the secret they are trying to hide. If you grew up in a tiny Midwest town like I did you would know this to be gospel. Southern noir or Southern Gothic is a special sort of genre that when done right shines a sinister light on those secrets. Add some good old good vs evil to the mix and the supernatural and you’ve got something special. In the case of todays series you had the best of all of these mixed into a twisted, beautiful, epic masterpiece that came happened to be co-launched by a master of horror named Sam Raimi and a gent more known for solving mysteries than writing them… a Hardy Boy himself Shaun Cassidy. The show is one of my favorite TV series of all time,...

The Batman actor has been developing the idea since the birth of his daughter in 2005, after being ‘stunned and mad’ to learn how many children were in care in California
Christian Bale has led a tour round the new village in California where he plans to build 12 foster homes, as well as two studio flats to help children transition into independent living, and a 7,000 sq ft community centre.
The actor, who broke through aged 12 in Empire of the Sun before starring in films such as American Psycho and Christopher Nolan’s Batman series, has spearheaded the building of a unique complex of facilities with the aim of keeping siblings in the foster care system together, and ideally under the same roof.

In the DC Comics series "Batman," Jonathan Crane, more popularly known as Scarecrow, uses fear as a weapon. "Even if you attempt to steel against fear ... it is undeniable. Fear makes us human," he claims while using a specially concocted airborne fear toxin to terrorize everyone in Gotham. Scarecrow is pretty formidable among the plethora of "Batman" villains — his heightened intelligence and innate grasp of human psychology give him an edge over those who only rely on brute strength, as the nature of warfare he employs is purely psychological. So, when Christopher Nolan was looking to cast someone fitting to portray the character in "Batman Begins," many dynamic actors, including Robert Downey Jr., were more than interested in going full diabolical scientist for the film.

Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr. went down memory lane to recall a meeting with renowned filmmaker Christopher Nolan about playing Scarecrow in the 2005 film ‘Batman Begins’. The actor made the comments during a Q&a with the audience following a screening of ‘Oppenheimer’ at the Aero Theater in Los Angeles.
“I’m pretty sure that I heard like, ‘There’s this role, Scarecrow,’ and I was like, ‘psh, I’m Scarecrow’,” Downey Jr. said in a video shared on X by Griffin Schiller.
He continued: “I remember meeting for tea, and I was like, ‘He doesn’t seem like he’s really leaning in on this interview.’ And he was polite and all that, but I mean, you know, you can tell when someone is kind of like, ‘It’s not gonna go your way’.”

These days it's strange to think of Marvel struggling to outdo DC at the box office. But believe it or not, there was a time when the latter was the undisputed champ of superhero filmmaking. Director Richard Donner kicked off that winning streak with 1978's "Superman," the film that provided the blueprint for the modern blockbuster. Next, Tim Burton solidified DC's box office prowess with 1989's "Batman" — a film that made a heck of a lot of money at the box office and established the principles of modern blockbuster marketing.
Meanwhile, Marvel had this comparatively abject filmography to offer: 1986's "Howard the Duck," 1989's "The Punisher," and the direct-to-video "Captain America" in 1990. By the time DC and Warner Bros.' "Batman Forever" hit in 1995 and made $336 million globally (an impressive number for the time) it seemed DC would rule the superhero blockbuster space for a long time to come.

There ought to be an obscure, multisyllabic German word for the very specific feeling of pride one can take in discovering cinema through one of the medium's more highly regarded classics. There are those among us who had something of a cinematic awakening while watching an indelible classic such as, say, "Citizen Kane," "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Persona," "The Rules of the Game," or "The General." Conversely, there ought to be a similar term for the mixture of pride and embarrassment one feels when their cinematic awakening is instigated by something obscure or unknown. "2001" may be a great piece of cinema. But surely someone in the world fell in love with movies the first time they saw Tony Richardson's 1961 film "A Taste of Honey," or Russell Mulcahy's "Highlander 2: The Quickening."

A young woman's nightmares have deadly consequences in the real world in Legendary Comics and Rocketship Entertainment's new graphic novel Sleep Terrors. Written by Cavan Scott with artwork by Stephanie Son, Sleep Terrors is now on Kickstarter, and we've been provided with an exclusive preview to share with Daily Dead readers!
Here's what Cavan Scott had to say about the genesis for Sleep Terrors and some of the inspirations behind the graphic novel:
Have you ever been cut off on the road by another driver or had a stranger shout at you without provocation? It’s natural to feel aggrieved, and maybe even forgivable to hope that karma plays a hand in the day of the aggressor. That’s where the original spark for Sleep Terrors came from; the admittedly dark wish fulfillment that we could somehow magically take revenge on those who wrong us.

The Crown Prince of Crime is one of the most mysterious characters in all of Gotham, with more secrets than even the enigmatic Riddler. The Joker's real identity has always been a question mark, in part because he's scarier if we don't know what made him an evil megalomaniac. Heath Ledger's take on the character in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" riffed on the idea of a shifting backstory by having Ledger's Joker tell different stories about how he got his scars to different people. Besides, how could anyone trust the word of a madman? No matter what Joker might say about his own past, it's very unlikely to be true.
While some adaptations of the character have given him a name beyond the Joker moniker, like Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck in "Joker," there hasn't been a single consensus on his official comics canon name... until now.
