In Which We Do Our Best To Imagine What Marc Maron In A Joker Movie Might Be Like

Earlier this week it was reported that Marc Maron is being sought after to be in the Joker movie that will star Joaquin Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Crime. There’s some not at all concrete speculation that Maron would play Commissioner Jim Gordon and the idea of this delights us to no end. First of all, Maron has been pretty darn great on Glow. Secondly, Maron has been pretty adamant that he hates superhero movies, so that makes his inclusion inherently interesting.

And third, it’s impossible for us to stop thinking about Maron playing Gordon just kind of as himself and what those interactions with Joker would be like – so much so that we went ahead and imagined their whole first meeting because why not (And if Marc Maron happens to read this, please know this is all in a good fun and we do hope you get to be in the Joker movie because we’d love to see any scene that looks anything like this.)

The criminal mastermind known as JOKER has been captured. As JOKER awaits interrogation, those interrogating duties fall upon on the one and only COMMISSIONER JIM GORDON. If anyone can get to the heart of JOKER’S devilish persona, it’s the unique interviewing techniques of JIM GORDON. As JOKER waits, JIM GORDON enters the interrogation room.
