8 Villains That Need To Appear In Batfleck's Arkham Asylum Movie
2. The Joker
The Clown Prince of Crime.
Without a doubt the most iconic of all super-villains, The Joker is a key part of any key Batman story set in or around Arkham Asylum. Whether it be the video game series or the graphic novel by Grant Morrison and Dave McKean, The Joker is instrumental in tormenting Batman throughout his extended stay in the horrifying asylum.
Although we've had a lot of Joker over the years (the only reason he isn't number one), Jared Leto knocks it out of the park in Suicide Squad. Whilst many will complain about the lack of screen time he receives when compared to his presence in the marketing campaign, it certainly serves as a tasty tease for what is to come. A joker-gassed hor d'oeuvre if you will.
The very thought of Affleck facing off against Leto's crazed mob boss should have fans everywhere quivering with anticipation. Many were unhappy with the murderous Batman in BvS, however the film makers made it very clear that he was driven to those depths by this new incarnation of the Joker. The defaced Robin costume gives further credence to the idea that this Joker had taken everything from him.
It would be criminal to leave The Joker out of this film, so let's lock them in an asylum for two hours and watch the sparks fly...
