As James Gunn announced a Batman film in his recent announcement

From Vecna to Homelander, Fans Predict the New Joker for James Gunn’s DC Universe and Batman Movie

With the history of superheroes in the entire universe, villains have their own
supremacy. Without a worthy villain, superheroes cannot exist. While talking
about villains, how can we forget one of the wildest villains from the DC
Universe: Joker? Well, with James Gunn announcing his plan for the upcoming DC
projects, he revealed he would tell the story of Batman as well. And with
Batman, Joker also comes along. Fans are eager to know about the appearance of
Joker as well.



Since James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the DCU, they started rebooting the
entire structure. Well, in his recent announcement video, Gunn revealed
storytelling was always supreme. Therefore, he wants to reintroduce the DCEU to
the world. One of his plans for the upcoming projects

is The Brave and The Bold, where he would be telling a story of Batman trying to
train his 12-year-old son. When one talks about Batman, Joker automatically
comes to their mind.

Finally, fans are happy that they will get to see a different side of their
beloved Batman. The movie will tell the story of Robin. Well, while they talk
about the film, they never forget the thrilling villain from the series, Joker.
And so fans predicted who will portray the great villain in the film.

While there have been several portrayals of the character by different actors,
this is a major question among fans. Jared Leto and Joaquin Phoenix are the two
actors who are known for their portrayal of the villain. But will they be back
or Gunn will hire someone else? Fans think Vecna portrayed by Jamie Campbell
Bower

will nail the character of Joker too. While others think of Willem Dafoe, Cary
Elwes, and even Johnny Depp as fitting for the character.
