If it's just for an anti-hero (if one could call him that), I could see the Blade movie being in that slot, if not the February (Black History Month) slot of that same year. And with 'Joker's financial success, it remains to be seen if it's R-rated or not (I'm of the opinion it's not obligatory, but if the Deadpool movies will remain R-rated then so be it).

While I also agree that the rating isn't obligatory, I wouldn't be surprised if they go either way. Sure, Disney probably won't allow R-ratings for IPs without previously established success in that area, considering that Blade: Trinity (as well as non-related franchises like Terminators 3-5 and the first two Wolverine movies) have been criticized for not going the extra mile, Disney might be willing to give it a shot if they felt the risk could pay off.
