The problem with having a separate DC movie franchise that is not connected with the rest of the DCEU is that it creates brand confusion, doesn't matter how good or bad the product could be it will still puzzle a lot of people. This will be especially confusing if The Joker appears in another movie
So basically like the confusion when AoU had Quicksilver #2 after X-Men: Days of Future Past had Quicksilver #1?
Or like the confusion when The Avengers had Hulk #3 (Mark Ruffalo) after The Incredible Hulk had Hulk #2 (Edward Norton) after Hulk had Hulk #1 (Eric Bana)?
Or like the confusion when MCU had Rhodey #2 (Don Cheadle) after they had Rhodey #1 (Terence Howard)? Quicksilver was not the lead in either Days of Future Past or Age of Ultron, both of which were ensemble films. Both iterations are fairly different from one another so the only thing they share in common is the nickname; X-Men's Quicksilver is an American raised mutant who is the son of Magneto, was born in the 1950's, lives with his mom, is a wise cracking trouble maker and typically dresses casually. His name is Peter. Marvel's Quicksilver is from contemporary times, was born and raised in Europe, and got his powers via experimentation - he wasn't born with them. His Father is definitely not Magneto, who doesn't exist in that universe, his name is Pietro. Neither movie was also made by the same creative team - Fox made X-Men, Marvel made Avengers. This Joker movie is from the same think tank as the DCEU but isn't going to be set within that universe which is why its eye brow raising for a lot of people. War Machine/Rhodey and Bruce Banner/Hulk are instances of re-casting a character, Don Cheadle's Rhodes is the same Rhodes Terrence Howard portrayed in the first Iron Man and Mark Ruffalo's Hulk in The Avengers is the same Hulk Edward Norton was in The Incredible Hulk. The Incredible Hulk was not a continuation of the 2003 movie with Eric Bana it was a total reboot. |
