Is The Joker/Harley Movie Replacing Gotham City Sirens? | ScreenRant 

There’s been a lot of Joker-related movie news recently, but one film related to the Clown Prince of Crime appears to have fallen by the wayside:

. Has it been canceled? The project, which has David Ayer linked as director, was first mooted in late 2016 and back then appeared to be an evolution of the Margot Robbie-produced Harley Quinn spinoff, seeing the psychotic psychiatrist teaming up with fellow Batman villains Poison Ivy and Catwoman.

This week we’ve had reports on three different Joker movies. First up is the announcement of a Joker origin film directed by Todd Phillips and produced by Martin Scorsese that exists outside of the DCEU canon; then was word that the currently director-less 

 is being fast-tracked; and, finally, confirmation that a Harley/Joker film is in development. So, where’s

reported on Wednesday that the Harley/Joker film was going to be following on directly from

place in the Warners game plan, concluding that

was off the table and Ayer no longer attached to any DC projects. However, a day later

told a very different tale; they seemed to concur that Harley/Joker was a priority but went on to claim the two movies still exist in active development and

From those two reports, it appears Harley/Joker has indeed replaced

‘ place on the DCEU slate, but there’s some debate over whether that means Ayer’s film has been assimilated or simply pushed back. The last we heard about the femme fatal team-up was the director reaffirming his involvement after it emerged the film wasn’t green-lit (something both reports align with). That would make it seem that the two movies are two separate projects, meaning that until we get a specific report 

The biggest thing to remember here is that these movies are in the early stages of development and none have been officially announced. The only film involving these characters Warners has confirmed is

, which was one of eight movies revealed at SDCC 2017. All other projects are only known about via insider sources.

One thing we can conclude resolutely, though, is that Warners are pretty keen to invest more in the Joker. Aside from a totally separate version from Scorsese, Jared Leto has recently emerged with a vengeance, making clear he plans to stick around as the Joker, at least in the short-term.
