After bursting onto the scene in Game of Thrones season 6 as Lyanna Mormont, Bella Ramsey has gone on to turn heads in HBO's adaptation of the Naughty Dog video game, The Last of Us.

However, speaking to LADBible recently, Ramsey revealed that they are currently desiring to sink their teeth into a villainous role. And in particular, something that might have a comic book flair.

"I've not really played a villain yet. So I want to play a baddy. But like a really interesting, intricate, complex baddy," they told the site.

When the interviewer suggested someone like the Joker, Ramsey stated that's actually who they had in mind. "Yeah. I was actually thinking that as well. The Joker, someone really interesting like that."

They also went on to namedrop  Hannibal Lecter as a character type that fits what they're currently looking to portray. 

For their role as Ellie in The Last of Us, Ramsey became the first non-binary actor to be nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.

If Ramsey continues to select projects within the Warner Bros./HBO bubble, a turn as a DC Comics villain could certainly be something that occurs in the near future.

Comic book fans will recall that Martha Wayne actually became the joker during the events of The Flashpoint storyline from DC Comics, back in 2011. 

Bruce Wayne is killed by Joe Chill in that parallel timeline as opposed to Martha and Thomas Wayne. As a result, Martha experienced severe trauma from this incident and she went insane. Meanwhile, Thomas finds Chill and brutally beats him to death a few months after Bruce's death. 

But he informed a dejected Martha that he missed her smile right before going out to carry out this violent deed.  Martha turned to her husband and revealed that she had torn her cheeks open to create a fake smile, telling him that she finally had a reason to smile. It appears that this comment roused Martha from her grief-stricken stupor. Thomas then returned to tell her that he had killed Chill. After that, Thomas had her placed in an Arkham facility. 

However, she would go on to break out and become Gotham's Clown Prince of Crime, taking on a Harley Quinn-inspired sidekick named Yo-Yo, while Thomas Wayne would become Batman and take on Catwoman as his ward.

Could you see Ramsey portraying this version of the Joker or some other, alternative interpretation? Let us know in the comment section below.

Not the first time and won't be the last. 😆

@DarthAlgar - I've explained to him multiple times the definition of woke yet he keeps ignoring it, so he can pretend no one can define woke 🤣

@AmazingFILMporg - No you're not.

Also, nobody is going to take your stupid comments as sarcasm given your reputation on here.

**Character has female genitals or non-white skin ** ... AmzingFILMporg: This is woke!!

Making the same "jokes" again isn't trying to be sarcastic or funny. It's dumb trolling or you actually believe the nonsense you write.

And you do realize that a female Joker has existed before, right?

@AmazingFILMporg - well, I appreciated this at least. Well-played

@EgoEgor - it's not that serious
Slotherin
Slotherin - 12/2/2023, 6:49 PM
@Origame - the problem isn't all in defining it, it's consensus on the definition and usage.
Same thing happened with a lot of words and concepts including what is or isn't trolling.
Origame
Origame - 12/2/2023, 7:07 PM
@Slotherin - idiots calling anything with minorities woke doesn't mean the definition isn't known.
Slotherin
Slotherin - 12/2/2023, 8:42 PM
@Origame - it gives off the impression that it's not known to enough people.
Origame
Origame - 12/3/2023, 8:13 AM
@Slotherin - no it doesn't.
Slotherin
Slotherin - 12/3/2023, 11:01 AM
@Origame - what impression do you get then when people constantly misuse the word or conflate it with other things then?
Origame
Origame - 12/3/2023, 11:11 AM
@Slotherin - people are constantly making claims that the earth is flat. Does that in anyway make it so, or that the terms are in flux?
Slotherin
Slotherin - 12/3/2023, 11:35 AM
@Origame - didn't really answer my question but okay.

The earth not being flat is a matter of fact. The concept of something being "woke" is juey that: a concept.
Facts don't change even if opinions do because they're tangible; concepts aren't.
Origame
Origame - 12/3/2023, 12:35 PM
@Slotherin - the point is, a handful of people misunderstanding facts don't change facts.

Better example is the definition of woman. People keep claiming a woman is someone who identifies as a woman despite the widely used term being an adult human female, and the majority are still using that term.

"Comic book fans will recall that Martha Wayne actually became the joker during the events of The Flashpoint". Not because something happened once in some alternate reality that it gives them free pass to make stupid ideas like this on the screen.

@Urubrodi - but that was a limited series and I can't recall the mother as joker in anything else.
I'd love to see a comic-accurate Flashpoint some day. And it's a crime that Jeffrey Dean Morgan didn't get to be the flashpoint, gun toting Batman Barry meets.
