And if his on-again-off-again girlfriend is to make an appearance in Phillips\u2019 film, there\u2019s no telling whether the role will be played by Margot Robbie, as it is in the Suicide Squad films and Birds of Prey, or if it will be recast.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Marvel\u2019s interconnected timeline, DC has several cinematic universes going simultaneously. Most recently, Robert Pattinson played the Caped Crusader in <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/batman-2-release-date-news\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Batman<\/a>, with Barry Keoghan cast as the Joker, who was also played by Jared Leto in the first Suicide Squad film and Zack Snyder\u2019s Justice League.<\/p> <p>Phillips\u2019 <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/joker-2-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Joker<\/a>, however, appears to exist outside of these, both in terms of tone and subject matter.<\/p>\n<p>The first film earned 12 Oscar nominations and won Phoenix Best Actor. Scott Silver, who co-wrote Joker with Phillips, is returning for the sequel, though plot details are currently firmly under wraps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re looking for something to watch tonight, check out our\u00a0<a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener\" noreferrer=\"\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0<a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/&quot;\">Movies<\/a> hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<section class=\"&quot;template-article__editor-content\" editor-content=\"\" ev-meter-content=\"\"><b>The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription?utm_term=evergreen-article&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\" data-auth=\"&quot;NotApplicable&quot;\" data-linkindex=\"&quot;0&quot;\">subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
