Joker is a certifiable hit for Warner Bros. and DC Films, here are other standalone DC movies we want to see. The Joaquin Phoenix starring film served as a valuable test subject for the studios who have spent years getting a cinematic universe up and running. This hasn’t been the easiest task in the world though and Joker represents them attempting to capitalize on the DC brand in different ways.

This is mostly true as Joker gives the Clown Prince of Crime an entirely new origin while keeping key ingredients like the Wayne family and a Gotham setting. All of this was used by director Todd Phillips to do a low-budget, character study movie masked with DC branding.

These standalone films could benefit from reinventing recognizable characters from DC lore through different genres and keeping them free of an ongoing continuity. With this in mind, here are the standalone DC films we’d love to see get made.
