In die nuutste DC-fliek, The Joker , wat tans in teaters draai, sien ons egter wat gebeur wanneer die omgekeerde plaasvind. Die prent speel af in die Batman-wêreld van die DC comics-genre, destyds geskep deur Bob Kane. Die Batman-karakter speel egter byna geen rol in die fliek nie en die storie verduidelik eerder hoe dit gebeur het dat die euwel karakter van die Joker ontwikkel het, een van die mees populêre superhero villains in die comics -wêreld.
