New Batman Called “The Joker”?
Speaking in an interview with Turner Classic Movies, Sir Michael Caine got on the subject of the work he was doing with director Christopher Nolan and mentioned offhand that he’d be making “The Joker” next year:
I wanted to work with him and then Christopher Nolan who directed Batman is doing a smaller film called The Prestige about magicians and it’s very interesting. And we’re going to make The Joker next year.
Now ordinarily this might mean something, but you have to keep in mind that Michael Caine is very old and probably doesn’t know what he’s saying anymore. Caine calling the movie “The Joker” doesn’t make it its name any more than my Grandma calling me “Gary” makes that my name (it isn’t even similar). Sometimes you just have to face that the elderly aren’t making any sense. Sometimes they’re going to do things like mix up movie titles or wander around your yard muttering about clovers. There’s a fine line between hot movie scoops and the onset of senility.
