Yes, it’s a horrible idea, kind of like a “Death Race” which pits convicts against one another for the chance to escape prison.

Thank God no one green lighted that…oh, wait!

Evan… Arkham has been around forever, there wasn’t a time when the Joker was active and Arkham didn’t exist, that’s the way it has been stablished for the last 20 years or so.

You seem awfully willing to make any possible far-fetched rational explanation to like this movie project. But beyond the Joker’s Easter Egg, which actually doesn’t really matter, the concept of the movie is really poor, is just “put a guy inside a prison and make him fight all the inmates for his life”, that’s barely a story, more like an idea and a bad one.

This sounded awful when I first heard about the movie and it still sounds awful even now.

It’s not like they’re really going to make this movie.

It doesn’t contradict comics.

Before they created an Arkham, Joker was sent to jail like all the other crooks.

Sides, they didn’t say anyone would be in the cell, just that there was a cell with his name on it. He used to be in that before he went to Arkham.

Its not hard to rationalize. And be careful claiming continuity if you don’t know ALL of it.

This is one of the dumbest movie ideas I’ve ever heard of, kind of like “Snakes on a plane”…. the sort of script that follows the phrase “Wouldn’t it be cool if (…)?”, and no. It’s stupid.

BTW, The Joker should be in Arkham. I’m very curious to know how fans will react to an Easter Egg that contradicts continuity from both, the comics and the Batman franchise.

Ever since day one I’ve wanted this movie.
Deathstroke VS Green Arrow in the last fight. God it’d be amazing.

If they go through with this Joker cameo, they really should edit in Heath Ledger’s cackle from Dark Knight.

So this movie is really real then? I just assumed it was, like, some idea in some slush pile of scripts somewhere that would probably never actually get made, like an Alpha Flight or Geo-Force and The Outsiders movie.

I hope this doesn’t get made as long as Green Arrow is the character thrown into this mess. What’s the point of stripping him of being Green Arrow if he’s the only regular human in a prison full of super powered ones?

I’m weary of the disrespect this character’s been show for most of this decade (outside of the Diggle/Jock reboot).

Man, this is a superhero movie I can get behind. Villains AND Easter Eggs? And Amanda Waller? If the Icicle and a few Flash villains amke it in then I am the first one in line!

I don’t usually judge something before I see it. But everything I’ve about SuperMax sounds terrible, I have no desire to see it.

I think that Arkham never reopened in the NolanBatVerse.

Never mind that the movie Joker belongs in a super-max facility. He’d be out of Arkham even quicker than in the comics.

I hope they don’t call it “Super Max” b/c it reminds me too much of that lousy simian super-hero comic of the same name, surprisingly written by Dan Slott.

Lame. Joker wouldn’t be in a prison, he’d be in Arkham!

At least Goyer isn’t going to cast Ryan Reynolds as the Joker…

oh wait…

hope he doesn’t read this.

I will be so pleased if they make this movie. Getting sick of origins. Did you know David Fincer would have done Spider-Man if the studio and Marvel hadn’t insisted on an origin film.

Talk about a missed oppurtunity.
