Alec Baldwin will play Batman's father in Joker. Warner Bros. is doing something different with their library of DC characters. Even though Jared Leto plays Joker in the DC Films universe, they have brought Joaquin Phoenix into the fold to play another version of the character outside of the connected franchise. His film will be a period piece telling the origin of the Joker as a failed comedian. Even though the movie isn't going to include any other superheroes, the mythology will still be present.
One of the earlier rumors about Joker was that Thomas Wayne, the father to Bruce Wayne aka Batman, was going to appear. But, as the casting process moved along, there was no word on who could possibly play the major role. It now looks like director Todd Philips has found his man.

THR reports this take on Thomas Wayne will paint him as a "cheesy and tanned businessman who is more in the mold of a 1980s Donald Trump."
