EDITORAL: Should the Joker be in the Superman/Batman film?

So far only one villain has been speculated to be in the Superman/Batman movie, and that is Superman's archenemy Lex Luthor. However, with Batman coming to Metropolis (or vice versa) it my question of whether or not the Clown Prince of Crime should menace the superhero duo as well.

As many fans now know Batman and Superman will be either fighting each other in a Superman vs. Batman film, or teaming up to fight evil in World's Finest. For the villain of the film it was highly speculated that Lex Luthor would make his return to the big screen with Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston playing the bald archenemy of Superman. However, I am wondering what would lead Batman to come to Metropolis from Gotham, or Superman come to Gotham to Metropolis? It is my hope that the villain team up that has been synonymous with the Superman/Batman team ups would also make its way to the big screen: that team up being between Lex Luthor and Batman's arch nemesis the Joker.



But now the question that begs to be asked is what would the Joker being doing in Metropolis? Well I think the motive for the Joker teaming up with Lex Luthor could be the same as it was in the Injustice: Gods Among Us comic, "Every time you and I play, I lose. I was getting a bit bored of always losing. I thought I'd try this on easy mode for awhile." This quote shows that Batman and Joker have had a long history together, and thus would go along with Ben Affleck's Batman being depicted as "tired, and kind of weary and seasoned," as WB CEO Kevin Tsujihara said Batman would be. And with Superman being relatively new to the superhero game this could be Joker's opportunity to win, and Lex Luthor could be an aid in whatever plans the Joker has for the Man of Steel.

So who should play the infamous Clown Prince of Crime? I know that many fans believe that no one could outshine Heath Ledger's Joker. However, I think there is one man that could kick Heath off the pedestal that fans have put him on: Tom Hiddleston.


If you just look at this picture of Hiddleston's Loki grin I'm sure one could just reimagine it as Hiddleston dressed in the purple suit with his face plastered with white paint, and his hair dyed green. Also the Joker would fit the description given to Loki by Bruce Banner in that, "you can smell crazy on him."

Well I hope you like my ideas. If not feel free to tell me why below.
