Script for Joker v Harley Quinn is Done; Story Details Revealed

Though production may be underway for Joaquin Phoenix's Joker movie, the DCEU hasn't completely forgotten about Jared Leto's Clown Prince of Crime. As it turns out, the script for Joker v Harley Quinn (title still unofficial) is already done, and it's just a matter of time before we get to see pre-production start.

Talking to Metro US, directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa admitted that they don't have an idea on where Joker v Harley Quinn is when it comes to the DCEU movie priority list. Ficarra says:

"We handed the script in and everybody loved it… But I don't know when they are going to do it. Because I know that they want to do ‘Birds Of Prey' and they want to do Todd's ‘Joker' film first. Maybe if ‘Birds Of Prey' goes well ours will be next."

It's said that the movie is supposed to be a relationship film, and will focus on the demented one between Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and the Joker. The film was supposed to open with the two kidnapping Dr. Phil to help them out with their relationship problem. The description continues:

"It was sort of like, we wrote ‘Bad Santa' a couple of years ago, and it was that sensibility mixed with our ‘This Is Us' sensibility. We kind of meshed them together. We were doing a relationship movie but with the sensibility of a ‘Bad Santa,' f*cked up, mentally deranged people. It was a lot of fun."

Though reception was mixed for Suicide Squad, a lot of people were definitely into Robbie's portrayal of Harley Quinn. She's even set to reprise the character in Birds of Prey which is scheduled to start production this coming January. Interestingly enough, Robbie is also attached to that movie as a producer.

We don't know when this Joker v Harley Quinn movie is going to come out, but I'm hoping it's soon. At this rate Leto's Joker is coming out the second fiddle to the fan favorite that is Harley. We don't even know if we'll ever get to see him clash with Ben Affleck's Batman at all.

No release date has been set for Joker v Harley Quinn.
