The People’s Joker, a “queer coming of age Joker origin tale,” yanked from TIFF lineup

some reactions to the film that suggested the film had been “hit with a cease and desist from WB.” The production had no comment when reached for a statement.is about an aspiring comedian grappling with and embracing her gender identity.

“With comedy criminalized in Gotham City, the show is the only government-sanctioned space for funny people, but only those who will toe the party line,” reads the TIFF synopsis. “ Disillusioned by a botched audition, Vera partners with a birdlike slacker to found their own alternative comedy troupe, attracting not only a rogues’ gallery of would-be comics, but also the ire of a fascistic caped crusader.

What did the Joker do to deserve this?

Good. The trailer was an uninspired, amateur and cringeworthy puddle of sick vomited up by the creator. If the character was original it wouldn't have been a problem, but that wouldn't have gotten nearly as much attention so they made it the Joker.

Good, now yank it from the PNG, JPEG, and BMP lineups as well!

'The people's Joker'!? You can't be serious!

Im assuming 'the people' refers to those who come up with ideas for this stuff? Obviously they've been struggling and this has come to save them from doing something original

Thank god. No one wanted to hear what it was offended by, anyway.

Good. Purge this.

This makes it look like a super low budget porno

Sure, make the murderous psychopath queer for that representation 😄

Thanks god they shit this shit down

SMH. Why!!! And to think there are thousands of great writers and screenwriters and performers out there they can't even get their foot in the door because of stuff like this.

I think the bicyclecards company should file a cease & desist against wbpictures — Fuck your copyright claims on the concept of a “Joker”!!! FREETHEPEOPLESJOKER

Cowards.

VeraDrew22 Why would Steve Miller do this to VeraDrew22

Wtf is this? Just awful looking in everyway.

This shit looks as bad as Batman and Robin. Hell, I'd watch that movie over this.

This just looks like a really bad movie. Even advertising its copyright infringement in the trailer.

Joker is a crazy murderer. CHUDs think being trans is a mental illness. This film will equate being trans to being mentally ill. They tried to profit off of properties they did not license off of the rights holder. This was a stupid idea to make in the 1st place.

good!
