The Batman Movie Fan Poster Features Jared Leto's Joker

06/01/2017 11:38 am EDT

Wonder Woman is arriving in theaters as one of the best-reviewed superhero movies ever, hopefully marking the official turnaround point for the DC Extended Universe. However, even as DC Films grow in popularity, there are a lot of fans who have been down with the cinematic universe since its Man of Steel beginnings - and are only more excited for what the future will bring.

Case in point: Ben Affleck's Batman solo film (currently known as The Batman). Affleck's Batman project dominated the superhero movie news cycle earlier this - though we're still waiting for official details about the film's storyline; which DC characters will be featured in it; and when it will be released.

While we wait to know for sure what The Batman will be, fans like MessyPandas are using artwork to express some fun concepts of what The Batman could be, starting with the inevitable showdown between Affleck's Batman and Jared Leto's Joker:

That is really cool concept for a Batman movie poster, for sure - though the artist is a bit conservative with the amount of facial tatoos Leto's Joker has. It's a poster that evokes the same haunting, horror movie tone of Heath Ledger's iconic Joker Posters from The Dark Knight, while highlighting one of the more distinct novel attributes of Leto's Joker: his clever way of expressing his Joker grin. The font and layout of the title "The Batman" isn't so great, however. The 'dripping blood' effect just doesn't match the clean, precise, font of the letters.

Warner Bros. and DC Films, take note: there is a lot of great concepts to steal from this.
