After years of speculation, it seems that Jared Leto’s Joker is getting another chance to shine—this time in a standalone film that dives deep into the toxic, chaotic romance between the Clown Prince of Crime and Harley Quinn. Titled Joker: Twisted Obsession, the film is rumored to be a gritty, psychological crime thriller that explores the depths of their twisted love story.
While Suicide Squad (2016) only scratched the surface of their infamous relationship, Joker: Twisted Obsession is said to be a character-driven exploration of their rise to power in Gotham’s underworld. Set before the events of Suicide Squad, the film will reportedly follow the duo as they carve out their own empire of madness, clashing with rival gangs, law enforcement, and even Batman himself.
Sources close to Warner Bros. suggest that the film will feature a mix of heist action, psychological horror, and romantic tragedy, showing a side of Joker and Harley rarely seen on screen. Unlike Todd Phillips’ Joker (2019), which leaned heavily into realism, Twisted Obsession is expected to embrace the neon-soaked, anarchic chaos of David Ayer’s Gotham City.
