How 'The People's Joker' Cast 'Better Call Saul's Bob Odenkirk in the Unofficial DC Movie

The set-up has been given, but the question remains: Will The People’s Joker become a punchline? Earlier today, Toronto International Film Festival attendees were shocked to discover that the unlicensed movie that features one of DC Comics’ most famous villains was pulled from the lineup “due to rights issues”. The movie has had a single screening and, so far, that’s it.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The People’s Joker certainly has a lot to unpack.

“… Bob the Goon [Odenkirk’s character] was always in the script, and it was always a question of who could play this part, because it also wasn't really a well-developed role.

I'm sure you have a limited amount of favors with him left.

While Drew goes head-to-head with giant companies Warner Bros. and DC Comics to decide if the movie can be legally distributed in theaters across the country and eventually on streaming platforms, we have to wait on a final decision to check out this story, which, as Drew puts it in the recruitment video, is a metaphor for transition and mental health.

CHUDs think being trans is a mental illness. This film will equate being trans to being mentally ill. They tried to profit off of properties they did not license off of the rights holder.
