Rumor: 'Aquaman' Might Lose Director James Wan

It's difficult to ignore rumors when they're so consistent - and persistent. Following the negative critical response to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which didn't perform as well as Warner Bros. expected at the box office, reports have surfaced that there's some turmoil at the studio regarding the future of the Justice League franchise. Last night, news broke that Seth Grahame-Smith exited The Flash solo movie over “creative differences,” and a subsequent rumor seems to support the idea that WB's DC plans aren't going very smoothly.

Poll: Who Is The Best Mass Media Joker?

Ever since he made his debut in 1940's Batman #1, the Joker has been the arch-criminal among arch-criminals, the one villain who can truly lay claim to being Batman's nemesis. As a result, he's made quite a few appearances across other media, serving as the antagonist in movies, television, and even a handful of video games.

Now, with Jared Leto set to take the role with a new interpretation rooted in questionable tattoos and on-set method-acting antics, it's time for us to finally sit down and figure out where we stand. For that, we turn to you, dear reader, as we ask that you cast your vote to tell us which mass media Joker performance is the undisputed best!
