Batman is a lot younger than you would expect in the Joker solo movie.
We already know that Todd Phillip’s Joker movie is trying to distance itself from the Dceu – pitched as a darker, grittier, more serious stand-alone spin-off. This is a crime thriller that just happens to be set in a world that might one day have superheroes in it, and it is most definitely not a Batman movie.
Making that even clearer, Phillips has cast Bruce Wayne as a little boy – with Dante Pereira-Olson as a young Bruce in a world that clearly has a very different continuity to the comic books.
Pereira-Olson starred as a young version of Joaquin Phoenix's character in You Were Never Really Here, so it’s likely that his future on-screen nemesis recommended him for the part.
He’s also got a new butler too, with Douglas Hodge cast as Alfred.
