At the long conference table, Martin, Nolan, and the head of Warner Bros. Pictures, Daniel, sat on one side.
Opposite them were DC representatives like Scott, Philips, and Bruce Berman.
Hamada presided over the meeting.
Since "Joker" was not part of the DC Extended Universe, both Warner Bros. and DC didn't pay much attention to the project.
At the same time, "Man of Steel" was about to be released, and "Batman v Superman" had already entered the formal preparation stage, while "Joker" was still in the earliest phase of the project.
The projector turned on, and the creative text appeared on the screen. Screenwriter Scott pointed to the screen with a laser pen and said, "Regarding the plot, we plan to focus on Joker's family, his parents' genetics, and the abuse he suffered that led to Joker's tragedy..."
"Wait a minute," Martin interrupted Scott directly.
