Director Todd Phillips shared Joaquin Phoenix's first look under the name of Joker, or, as Phillips calls it, "Arthur": the real name of the clown's crime prince is Arthur Fleck in this incarnation.
Although the photo that Phillips posted on Instagram certainly captures an uncomfortable character behind Phoenix's eyes, something is missing, such as fluorescent green hair, a painted face and a terrifying smile. Speculation is that his transformation comes after a personal tragedy that pushes him to the end, as he did in Alan Moore's "The Killing Joke."

Although the plot is concealed, a dark tone is a safe bet.
Although it was said that Alec Baldwin was on board to play Wayne Batman's father, Thomas Wayne, he gave up, telling USA Today, "I'm not doing this movie anymore." He cited "programming" problems.
Zazie Beetz, star of "Deadpool 2", will play a single mother who will attract the attention of the Joker before its transformation into the nasty nihilist of Gotham City. It was also reported that Robert De Niro was in talks to join the project. The role would see De Niro portray a talk show host who plays a role in the origins of the Joker.
Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow will co-produce the film, starring Todd Phillips. Emma Tillinger Koskoff and Richard Baratta, whose credits include "The Wolf of Wall Street" by Martin Scorsese, are attached as producers. The film will be released on October 4, 2019.
Every Batman movie ranked, including the "Justice League"
"Justice League" is there and it's a Batman movie. How does this compare to all other previous Batman movies? Scroll through our list to find out.
15. "Batman and Robin" (1949) is only a dreadful experience, with a bad main actor wearing a soft-eared batsuit. Although The Wizard, an original villain of this series, looks cool, this is not enough to stem the tedium in these four hours.
14. "Batman" (1943) gets points for novelty thanks to his old-fashioned racism of the Second World War. But Batman's first appearance on the screen is just about anything that would mark it as a captivating film experience. It's cool that a grandfather clock offers entry to the Batcave, however.
13. "Justice League" (2017) is quite absurd, and unlike "Batman v Superman", can not even boast of a good performance of Affleck as Bruce Wayne. And it does not have the decency of being pleasantly bad like "Batman and Robin" or "The Dark Knight Rises".
12. "Batman and Robin" (1997) is rightly hated, but he is extremely entertaining here and there. Uma Thurman and Arnold Schwarzeneggar go so far that I can not help admiring them.
11. "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012) was probably not meant to be a sinister Shumacher Batmovie, but it's indeed what it is. This is Nolan who goes to Hollywood, breaking plot points by force of will rather than because they make sense. An extremely theatrical Tom Hardy like Bane is fun from front and back, and a nuclear weapon with a countdown on it will never get old.
10. "Batman v Superman: The Dawn of Justice" (2016) is almost saved by Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, but director Zack Snyder simply could not keep his plot on the right way. There is too much ground to cover, and the film is too fuzzy to ever really cover any.
9. We remember mostly "Batman" (1989) because it was Batmovie's first film in two decades. This is not really very good, though. The revelation that a younger version of the Joker killed Bruce Wayne's parents is as silly as in a movie "Batman".
8. "Batman v Ultimate Superman Edition" does a lot to enhance the experience of watching that it deserves its own input – it's basically a completely different movement with all the important story beats and the moments of character that he adds.
7. "Batman Forever" (1995) sets the tone for what Joel Shumacher was trying to do with the two films he's made. Tommy Lee Jones, as Two Face, is doing things in this film that is hard to believe today, given his perpetual bitter face in almost every film he's seen.
6. "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" (1993) Remember that this time they released a cartoon "Batman" theatrically? It gets lost among all live actions, but "Mask of the Phantasm" is better than most of them.
5. "The Dark Knight" (2008) should be much shorter, but Heath Ledger's Joker is by far the best villain of these films. Ledger elevates what would otherwise be an indulgent exercise of Christopher Nolan into an unforgettable image.
4. "The LEGO Batman movie" (2017) is fun, adorable and self-derisory – exactly what we needed in the aftermath of the "Batman v Superman" disaster.
3. "Batman Begins" (2005) is the most complete film of the franchise. It's just a normal movie, except that it's about Batman. He has real characters and everything, and Bruce Wayne of Christian Bale even has emotions. It's strange.
2. "Batman Returns" (1992) is one of the best of the franchise because it is only a political thriller. The penguin emerges from the sewer and runs for Gotham town hall! It's great, especially now that Donald Trump is president.
1. "Batman: The Movie" (1966) has a timeless character that none of the other movies do, and it's only a pleasure from start to finish thanks to Batman's flashing d & # 39; Adam West and the coalition of villains who do not stop screaming maniacally. Seeing him again recently, I found that it worked almost perfectly like a parody of the super serious Christopher Nolan Batfilms, which is amazing.
