RUMOR: Barry Keoghan's The Joker will be featured in the HBO series

Via WorldOfReel.com's Marvelvision podcast, the latter revealed a “newsletter” about the next HBO series in which he will appear THE BATMAN SAGA. Disclosure: I know nothing about this podcast, but I do know and trust it world of the role.

According to one of the podcast's hosts, the series will follow and bridge to THE BATMAN: PART II THE BATMAN: PART III – just like that THE PENGUIN in between THE BATMAN And PART II. And here's the kicker: Apparently Barry Keoghan will return as the Joker (or “Unnamed Arkham Inmate”) and then be the main villain for it PART III.

I reached out to a few people, some of whom had no idea and some who said they had heard it was true. So that's all I have in terms of confirming or calling BS. We know that Matt Reeves and his team are working on another HBO series (or two) to be part of this THE BATMAN SAGA and here's what he recently said about it…

Yes. We've been talking and it's exciting because people are embracing the show now. My imagination is emerging, which is very exciting, and HBO has been incredibly supportive from the start. Now to see the show get picked up is really, really exciting. We talked about doing more shows. I wanted to make sure we didn't adopt the origin story, which is what so many other shows have done. I think the idea of ​​being able to look at these characters through one lens is a really exciting idea. It's about cities and their dysfunction and the world and its dysfunction, which is what the Batman stories are about. Their point is that Gotham is a place that should be better. And you can have the experience of these almost novelistic epic crime novels, but you also just get these separate experiences. They have their own dramatic value. So the story of Oz is the story of Oz, and the idea is to tell these other stories in the same way.

I'm one of those Batman fans who want to know as little as possible about the Joker's background and origins. So I'm not sure how I feel about a whole series THE PENGUIN centered around him. I'm also a little concerned about overdoing the figure afterward JOKER: FOLIE a DEUX Bombing – although the two have nothing to do with each other. Of note, the Scooper said he wasn't sure if it was a Joker series or if it was a series in which the Joker would appear. I would probably prefer that.

Despite all of this, I completely trust Matt Reeves and Co. and if they have an idea and it involves the Joker, I'm on board. Just make sure Lauren LeFranc is there! – Bill “Jett” Ramey
