Whether we’re talking about a proto-Joker, or pre-Joker, it’s a dangerous time to be in Gotham City, with double the Clown Princes of Crime, and no Caped Crusader.
Filming in New York City, the Fox series Gotham features Cameron Monaghan as Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska, predecessors to the iconic Batman villain. Meanwhile, across the way in New Jersey, Joaquin Phoenix is shooting the Todd Phillips-directed Joker origin movie.
Though there are at least two other projects involving The Joker rumored to be in the works at Warner Bros., Gotham and Phoenix’s Joker are ostensibly Batman-free prequels.
So what does Monaghan, Gotham’s so-called proto-Joker since 2015, think of the pre-Joker on the other side of the Hudson?
