10 Crazy Stories Warner Bros Needs To Tell In The DC Movie Multiverse

Joker was a crazy Elseworlds story that completely reinvented the Clown Prince of Crime, grossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office, and very nearly won the "Best Picture" Oscar. A sequel, however, has the opportunity to paint Batman in a new light.

The 2019 movie revealed that Arthur Fleck was inadvertently responsible for the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne, and the trauma of a clown murdering his parents is bound to stick with Bruce. In the grounded Gotham City Todd Phillips created, it's easy to imagine a twisted, unhinged vigilante emerging looking for vengeance, and unlike anything fans have seen on screen before.

Some will argue that another Batman story isn't necessary, but tied into Joaquin Phoenix's twisted version of The Joker, it has the potential to be something special (and even crazier than what Matt Reeves appears to be doing with the Dark Knight in The Batman).

It definitely doesn't feel like this iteration of The Joker's story is over, so a follow-up is a must, and perfect for the Multiverse that's being created.
