Is this a giant weed? Or something else?

I live in zone 5, southern Michigan to be exact. There are three of these large leafed shrub type things growing along the back fence of my property. Super sunny area. At first I thought it might be rhubarb, but the stalks are not red. They could just be a giant weed... but I do not have a clue. Can anyone help?
