He's only producing, but - before you think that restores a shred of dignity - he's hired The Hangover guy to direct.

I'm not linking to the press release, but it's a classic. It's a full house for anyone playing DC Cinematic Universe bingo - "dark ... gritty and grounded ... set in the eighties ... more of a dark crime movie than a traditional superhero adventure".

I don't blame him for taking Time Warner's cash for putting his name on this  - he's 100 years old and hates the world for not going to see his Japanese priest torture porn movie.

Odd response. Your one of those types I guess who has just discovered gifs?

Nah Goaty's been a gif-slinging machine since you still had to paint them with animal fat and charcoal on the sides of migrating mammoth.

I guess the crown prince of crime is going to be a wise guy. This attempt to recast the Joker as an organised crime figure does resonate with me since a lot of the animated Batman stories had this as the back story of the Joker, and you can see Warner Bros logic behind it. Our attempts to make Batman into a franchise have all fallen short of expectation and the best-considered version, Christopher Nolans 2008 Dark Knight had a genuinely compelling villain. Which Film Directors have made the most admired Movies about career crooks? Martin Scorsese has so we'll hire him to oversee our production about a psychotic Comic Book Villain in the hope this will make the audience feel our Joker is more realistic or credible. Whether Mr Scorsese gets a say in casting, editing or anything else, I doubt, but it does smack of desperation on Warner's part.
