Art the Clown Actor David Howard Thornton Plays Joker in New Gory Fan Film ‘Joker’s Wild’

Terrifier’s iconic star, David Howard Thornton, has traded in his well-known Art the Clown makeup to portray none other than the Clown Prince of Crime from the pages of DC Comics, but not in James Gunn’s DCU. Thornton stars as Batman’s most dangerous foe in the 2025 fan film, Jokers Wild (watch below), by writer, director, and producer Aaron W. Bennett. The title suggests that there might be multiple Jokers involved, but the movie is essentially a two-man show, which features the crowbar-wielding villain torturing the Dark Knight’s sidekick, Robin (Joel LeBlanc). However, Bats (Hunter G. Williams) does make a cameo at the end.
