Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the weekend. Have a link to share? Email our team at rundown@multiversitycomics.com.
– If you’ve been following the ol’ rumor mill, there’s been an ongoing theory that Jared Leto’s Joker, who we’re going to see less than two weeks from now in Suicide Squad is actually Jason Todd. The idea stems from how Robin’s costume’s all covered in Joker graffiti in Batman vs. Superman, leading to the possibility that he went crazy instead of jsut getting beaten to death with a crowbar. However, Suicide Squad director David Ayers crushed that fan theory in an interview. When Jared Leto was asked who the Joker could really be he just lowered his sunglasses and whispered “twisted”.
– Hey still sad about Matt Ryan no longer being Constantine? Great news! He’s going to be take up the trenchcoat again in DC Animated’s upcoming Justice League Dark movie. Check out that sneak peek to see what’s in store for DC’s supernatural gang of misfits. I’d make a snarky joke but Etrigan’s going to be in this movie so I’m pretty content.
– Disney’s apparently working on a young Han Solo trilogy of movies. I hope they end up exactly like Young Indiana Jones and begin each film with a crotchety old man who clearly isn’t Harrison Ford complaining until he inevitably recalls tales of his youth. Y’all, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was a weird show.
– Jim Lee implied there’ll be a forthcoming news about an upcoming “WildC.A.T.s” comic. Expect that to be one of the most popular books of 2024.
