AceShowbiz - Alec Baldwin has reportedly been cast as Batman Bruce Wayne's father in Todd Phillips' upcoming "Joker" origins movie.

Baldwin joins an all-star cast that includes Joaquin Phoenix in the title role, Robert De Niro, Frances Conroy, Marc Maron, and Zazie Beetz.

Editors' Pick

The "30 Rock" star's rumoured character, which has yet to be confirmed by studio bosses, is a respected philanthropist in Gotham City, who is murdered by hitman Joe Chill in Batman lore, but director Tim Burton reimagined the tragedy for 1989's Batman movie and made the Caped Crusader's arch nemesis the Joker the killer.

Production on the new D.C. Comics/Warner Bros. movie is set to begin next month and the film will be released in October, 2019.
