Wow how awesome is this??? After he was underused in the Suicide Squad move, it has been announced that The Joker will get his own stand alone origin movie and it’s going to be produced by none other than Martin Scorsese.

The movie will be written by the Hangover’s Todd Phillips and 8 Mile’s Scott Silver. Phillips will also direct the movie.

This will be a stand alone movie so it will not be a part of the current DC movie universe, and that also means they won’t be using Jared Leto.

Apparently they want it to be a gritty crime drama set in Gotham City in the 1980’s.

Who do you think they’ll get to play the younger version of the Joker?
