But then Deadline reported something completely different and even accused The Hollywood Reporter of posting click-bait.

EXCLUSIVE: #JokerMovie sequel news is mere click-bait. Insiders say Todd Phillips never pitched origin film series on other DC characters. Don't believe the hype just yet. https://t.co/vwhBEJkUVL
