10 Things You Need To Know Before Watching Joker

10. Batman Won't Appear

As far as we can tell, Bruce Wayne won't be making any sort of appearance as the 'Caped Crusader' in Joker.

This marks a move away from the norm when it comes to the character, although granted Suicide Squad saw him come up against different enemies altogether.

Wayne's father is set to appear in the film as a nod to the character's shared history with the Dark Knight, but it would be a huge and almost pointless surprise to see Batman appear in this movie.

Todd Phillips' effort intends to focus on a new version of the Joker and how he came to be, meaning any sort of appearances from 'Batsy' would go against the entire arc of the film.

This is the Joker's time to shine. Batman need not apply.
