Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fractured society. A clown-for-hire by day, he aspires to be a stand-up comic at night…but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty, Arthur makes one bad decision that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty character study.[/perfectpullquote]
It is important to note that this is a standalone story and does not tie directly into the DC Extended Universe. The Joker movie does seem to have a bit of a different take on the iconic DC villain and from what we’ve seen so far, Joaquin Pheonix’s portrayal looks fantastic.
Joker releases in cinemas on 4 October 2019.
