The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) removed a film from it's lineup due to "rights issues" (Archive). The film is called The People's Joker and it's basically a fan made Joker origin story, where the Joker is transgender.


The director of this movie is named Vera Drew, who is also the star of the film. Here is their Twitter (Archive)

Looks like a terrible film. The director is likely using the removal of the film from TIFF to play victim that Warner Bros. doesn't want anyone to see a queer Joker or whatever.

Did they remove it because they couldn't tell if they were making fun of trannies or not? Because the entire thing looks like a very deliberate shitpost.

Based upon the trailer I personally support this movie, and I hope it gets the release it deserves.
It looks incredibly retarded, so I wholehortedly support its release. I will fight to make sure it sees enough daylight so I can ridicule it properly.
 
If you're going to do this while trying to claim Fair Use maybe don't use the logo from the actual comic:

Nor the name Arkham Asylum while using the sign style from the Animated Series:

The same gate/sign style they're currently using in an ongoing comic book:

Didn't look at anything else but the preview thumbnail and the very first shot from the trailer, so I'm going to assume it's mostly all like this.
 
More like the TERF film festival, yiksearoni! I guess some people just cant help but let their biases obscure works of art, personally me personally, what I think personally what Ibelieve is thAt this director is both stunning and brave and I think that DC/warner ARE COWARDS scared that this applicated portrayal of their character will do much be more susscesfull than their stupid walking phenoix joker that is just for cis-hetero men. So ashamed of toraonto and warner and will definitly tweet about this on twitter, SIgh it's 022 people, trans wxmen exist, non-binaries exist, we EXIST, GET OVER IT.
 
Looks like the movie is making the rounds on the festival circuit. The troon will be in person to present this at the Chicago International Film Fest. Also lol the "women in cinema" tag:

If anything, its rather ironic they made the Joker into a transgender, since they would never dare do this to Harley Quinn.
From Arkham City:

Mook 1: So do ya think the rumors are true?
Mook 2: What, that Harley used to be a dude?

But all I can think of reading about this is Heath Ledger's Joker, "And here... we... go!". I can't wait to see what kind of shit show this become.
 
Remember, if DC doesn't try to quash this legally, they are essentially giving up their rights to the character. It becomes VERY difficult to exert copyright over something like a character when the don't try to exercise copyright over a blatantly infringing work making the rounds at multiple film festivals. Especially when multiple news outlets are reporting on it. Hell,, WB and/or DC themselves probably have employees at TIFF and Chicago.

Joker could soon be public domain like Fables. Sort of.

Only if they sell it. If the tranny is stupid enough to do that then their ass will be obliterated by the lawyers. Anything fan created should be fine so long as you don't profit from it with some exceptions like artists signing autographs on drawings they've made of copyrighted characters and that one is kind of a gray area and some corpos like Marvel went after the guys doing that.
