You might have heard that Warner Bros is making a movie based on Batman’s arch nemesis, the Joker.

Now here’s the punch line: This version of the Joker exists entirely outside of DC continuity!

Now keep in mind the DCEU (the DC Cinematic Universe) has a version of the Joker, and he was introduced in Suicide Squad and was played by Jared Leto while Joaquin Phoenix will be playing the new incarnation of the character.

Yeah, it’s pretty dumb.
