Do you think they’ll go with the book’s ending, seeing as this is a post 9/11 world? Look at how people flipped their shit over Joker because of the Dark Knight Rises shooting.
I think they'll go for it, or if they don't, it won't be because of 9/11. Not to diminish the tragedy, but 24 years dulls the memory of any event. The Dark Knight Rises shooting was a lot closer to Joker, both temporally and in that the shooter was dressed as the Joker. Maybe if the Twin Towers had been a massive TV station, we'd see a change. As it is, I think we're past the window in which airplane kamikaze is off the table without a much stronger connection.
