skillzdadirecta Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Wait, no he isn't. Quote As we’ve noted, the cinematic lifetime of various interpretations of Batman’s dad in live-action have been short. But even before that, Alec Baldwin’s time as Thomas Wayne has suddenly become even shorter—he’s just confirmed he’s quit Joker, mere days after being reported as signing on for the film. Quote Speaking to USA Today, the actor offered a terse statement confirming he was leaving the film altogether, citing scheduling issues. "I’m no longer doing that movie. I’m sure there are 25 guys who can play that part." Damn that was fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 He seems a bit low key to be the joker. I don't think I've seen him showcase any emotion other than calm before. In any case he got his superhero movie when he made The Shadow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't going to play the Joker... he was going to play Thomas Wayne, father of Bruce Wayne. And as far as his emotional range... I guess you never heard the infamous phone call he had with his daughter back in the day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Sadly, his leaving won't change their plan for how to characterize Wayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurdyb1 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Well damn. The revolving production door for DC movies still continues to spin people in and out furiously. SMH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Jeffery Dean Morgan would make more sense. He's already done the part twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIEN-gunner Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Marvel movies good, Marvel comics bad. DC movies bad, DC comics good. Eh, at least it's balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALIEN-gunner Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Comparing the two comic boock "giants" DC is the better of the two but they are both failing by charging too much for weak stories and poor art on expensive glossy paper. They creatives are also paid a pittance for their work. I feel bad for up and comic artists and writers who dreamed of working for Marvel/DC and now barely scrape by after landing jobs with them. I'd much rather read books from Indies like Alterna Comics who brought back newsprint paper which lowered their books down to around $1.50 an issue.
