One of the more highly anticipated upcoming comic book movies has to be Todd Phillips’ Joker, the Joaquin Phoenix-led, out of continuity origin story of the Clown Prince of Crime. The film, set for release this October, has garnered much attention due to its unique nature from many of the other comic book films released by not only DC, but from practically all of the modern superhero genre. Joker is, by comic book fans’ definition, an Elseworlds story brought to the big screen, and this (among a number of reasons) is why I’m so excited to see the film, and if the film becomes a critical and commercial success, I think this approach could be one used more frequently in future superhero and comic book films. So in this video, I want to discuss why I think it’s time for Marvel and DC to begin experimenting with these one-off, Elseworld-type stories, we’ll look at the history and legacy of this method of storytelling in graphic novels, and examine how this could affect the modern superhero movie genre.
