Moby Has Been Cast As The Joker In The Batman
Moby has spoken about landing the role of The Joker in the forthcoming movie The Batman.
The musician, 54, was confirmed as the next star to take on the iconic role, with his first appearance as the Clown Prince of Crime set to arrive in 2021. Speaking to The BloJo Movie Network about landing the part, he said: “I can’t believe I got the gig. I’ve never acted a day in my entire life. And today is my vegan anniversary. It’s insane! I haven’t been relevant for years and then I get a call out of the blue asking if I want to be the next Joker. I don’t understand how I got the part at all.”
Moby took to Instagram to show off his ridiculous tattoos -the words “ANIMAL” and “RIGHTS” written in all caps down each of his arms. And on his neck the equally ridiculous words Vegan For Life. Moby captioned the snap -Wait till they get a load of me! The washed up singer hash-tagged his post “#SoyPower #AnimalsArePopleToo & #VeganJoker PETA approves this casting. The organization commented on his post, “Animals are so lucky to have Moby. Comic book movies can make a difference after all.”
Also, DC fans are not happy. And when fanboys get upset, they start petitions. Since the casting was announced, Change4Nerds.org has received 40,000 signatures. The petition was created by DC super fanboy Carl Weiner. He recently asked fellow nerds to fight back, saying, “I can’t believe they are turning The Joker into a f**king Vegan. I mean, what the f**k! First they f**ked us with Jared Leto and now Moby is the f**king Joker! I’m pissed and I’m not going to take any more of this bullshit. We deserve better. I mean, Moby isn’t even an actor for God’s sake! We can’t catch a f**king break with these assholes. We need to fight back!”
The BloJo Network also reported that Jared Leto, who played The Joker in 2016's Suicide Squad, is beyond pissed. He told the network, “How is this any different than my take on the character? Fans are going to hate Vegan Joker. Besides, Joaquin Phoenix was so good he kind of ruined it for other actors. He made my version of The Joker look retarded. Also, who is Moby?”
Joss Whedon is expected to direct--which fans are also upset about. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
