David Howard Thornton Goes Full Villain in Fan-Made Bloody Short ‘Jokers Wild’

After the success of ‘Terrifier 3,’ David Howard Thornton is taking on the role of The Joker in ‘Jokers Wild,’ a new horror short from Busted Knuckle Productions.
In the film, The Joker has captured Robin, and it’s up to Batman to try to save him before it’s too late. The short stars Thornton as The Joker, with Joel Leblanc as Robin and Hunter G. Williams as Batman. Written and directed by Aaron W. Bennett, the film also features makeup by Tatjana Bluchel, who worked with Thornton on ‘The Mean One.’
David Howard Thornton has portrayed The Joker before in the ‘Nightwing: Escalation’ web series and has expressed a strong love for the character.
He recently shared his desire to play The Joker in a DC Studios film, hoping someone like James Gunn would give him the chance to bring his unique take on the villain to the big screen.
The Joker has finally captured Robin. Will the Dark Knight be able to save him in time, or will The Joker enact his most gruesome joke to date?
‘Jokers Wild’ is now available on YouTube, showing that great talent doesn’t require a big studio backing.
