JOKER & HARLEY QUINN Movie On The Way With CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE Directors At The Helm

It sounds like WB is really doubling down on the Clown Prince of Crime as in addition to their origin movie, they're also developing a Joker & Harley Quinn movie with Jared Leto & Margot Robbie returning!

Hot on the heels of yesterday's report of a Joker solo movie, The Hollywood Reporter has now learned that Warner Bros. has entered final negotiations with Crazy, Stupid, Love directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa to write and helm an upcoming DC movie based on classic Batman villains, the Joker and Harley Quinn.

Academy Award-winner Jared Leto and Margot Robbie are both expected to reprise their roles from David Ayer's critically reviled Suicide Squad. A production start date is unknown, but the film is reportedly being fast-tracked in order to accomodate Leto & Robbie's holding agreements and is hoping to go into production not long after Robbie wraps the upcoming Suicide Squad sequel, which is currently being shopped to directors.

The Joker/Harley movie is said to be a "criminal love story" between the two murderous psychopaths and will be a part of WB's main DC Films continuity, meaning it will take place in the same timeline as Justice League and not in an alternative timeline like the numerous upcoming spinoffs, including the Joker origin story and apparently The Batman.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

@TheDarkPassenger - Wtf is going on with WB? Did they get drugged by Sony? Holy damn....

Next up we will have a Harley Quinn v. Metallo movie with Judd Apatow set to direct with Uwe Boll helming a script by Diablo Cody.

WB has announced more DC films in development than there are MCU films that exist.

WB stop just [frick]ing stop. I'm no DCEU fan. Didn't like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Suicide Squad. I loved Wonder Woman. Instead of announcing films every other week and seeing which ones stick, how about you focus on making the right films. Focus on a clear direction for the DC because there is none. There can't be any clear direction.

You can't tell me WB has a clear direction for the DC films when we have this film, Suicide Squad 2, a Gotham City Siren's film, and a Joker ORIGINS film.
