The Joker Perform on Spawn
Jamie Foxx compared Spawn’s upcoming reboot to the Joker movie in August 2022, long before the two films shared a writer. “It starts out in such a cool way, and it’s not a big budget. It’s kind of like when they did Joker. The Joker yes is there, but the story of this man who’s on fire is the same with what we do with it,” Foxx said at the time.
Here is the 1997 synopsis Spawn film:
How can you fight for the right in a world so steeped in evil? How can you protect those you love most from anything that can harm them? A man caught between life and death struggles to save the life of his beloved as Spawn’s cape and chains explode across the screen in a deadly tornado of untapped, unwrapped, unforgiving power.
Directed by Mark AZ Dippe and co-written by Alan B. McElroy, Spawn with Michael Jai White, John Leguizamo, Martin Sheen, Theresa Randle, Nicol Williamson and DB Sweeney.
