[RUMOR] The Script For The Joker Origin Movie Is Almost Finished

Another day, another DC extended universe rumor. It's like the tides or the water cycle at this point. That being said, this does go along with things that DC has done in the past, so it wouldn't be that surprising. It's still a rumor, though, so take it with a grain of salt. Justin Kroll over at Variety posted an update to Twitter about the Todd Phillips Joker origin movie:

Hear THE JOKER script will be turned in by next week, super fast considering when announcement went out bodes well for 2018 shoot

This seems credible, as this isn't the first time DC has asked for a super fast turnaround for their scripts. David Ayer revealed that he had six weeks to write the draft for Suicide Squad. The Joker origin movie was announced on August 22nd, so if they finished the script for next week, it would be even faster than Suicide Squad.

The main problem with that is the script for Suicide Squad is a mess, and is one of the main reasons the movie wasn't very well received. We can understand why Warner Bros. and DC want to get everything moving quickly, but is giving the writers a few months to write your movie too much to ask? Sounds like it might be.

Or maybe they just have a really good idea that they got super excited about, so they've been using a IV of 5-hour Energy to write like crazy people. I guess we'll see!
