There is a Joker Origin Story film in the works with director Todd Phillip's (The Hangover) and Martin Scorsese serving as producer.
It is being descibed as quoted:
I am hoping this is going to be a dark, gritty gangster film. With help from Scorsese this could be incredible. I don't want to see no CGI, monsters or typical DC nonsense like what we have seen recently, hoping they keep it original, dark and almost similar to the Burton's original Batman film.
DC are also looking for fresh talent to play the Joker, so bye bye Jared Leto.

An intriguing part is the setting. The intention is to make a gritty and grounded hard-boiled crime film set in early-’80s Gotham City that isn’t meant to feel like a DC movie as much as one of Scorsese’s films from that era, like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull or The King Of Comedy. I’m told that Phillips and Silver are writing already, but there is nothing firm on where this will fit into the DC schedule.
