The set-up has been given, but the question remains: WillThe People’s Jokerbecome 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”.
