@ comic book fans - who is going to be the hero in the upcoming batman vs superman movie? Is it that the government wants to bring superman down and he goes berserk?
Not super-knowledgable about comic books, but judging from the trailer, I speculate that Superman will be the hero and Batman will be the villain for much of the movie, until he realizes the error of his ways and teams up with Superman to stop some other thread, which in this case is probably Lex Luthor.
So it seems the joker being played by Leto is in the suicide squad movie and has nothing to do with the upcoming batman movie. If y any chance the same actor is going to play the joker in the superman/batman movie I think you ^ are right because if I am not mistaken Bane kills the joker in the third batman movie.
Actually, the Joker isn't in the third movie at all. I had a feeling from the Dark Knight that they were considering bringing him back, because he was left alive, but that didn't happen for obvious reasons. I would have liked to have seen a third movie with Two-Face as the main villain, but it was not to be.
Anyway, I love the Joker as a character. The Joker works well as a villain for Batman because he's Batman's shadow. As a vigilante, Batman isn't big on rules either, and works outside the law. The difference is that the Joker is a destructive force, and Batman is a preserving force, if not a creative one.
Bane and Ras-al-Ghul didn't strike me as being shadow figures; they represent something that Batman consciously rejects, not something that's a hidden or repressed aspect of Batman.
