How Warner Bros SHOULD Have Made A Joker Origin Movie

2. Why Can't It Be Multiple Choice?

Because a single definitive answer not only demystifies the character but also seems to choose favourites from the available source material (since there are lots of possible Origins for the character in the comics), Warner Bros should simply not go with ONE answer.

Instead, the studio should secretly make five different Joker Origin movies and not tell anyone, then screen them all, randomly allocating a version to different regions and never acknowledging it until the release schedule had already kicked off.

It would cause confusion - the best kind of confusion in the Joker's book - and it would be an ingenious marketing strategy for Warner Bros. It would prove that they KNEW the character's place in the comics and it would also mean that fans would have to go and see multiple Joker movies at the same time. Think of the money.

And then when you got to home release, you could make an even bigger ceremony of the format and bring back a beloved actor to tie it all together...
