Directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix Joker tells the story of man, Arthur Fleck, who is driven insane by the disregard and disdain he received as a failed stand-up comic. As a result he becomes a psychotic criminal mastermind known as the Joker.
A character study in madness it may be. But is it strong enough to stand outside the scope of the Batman universe? Great superheroes require great villains…this much is known. Joker will test whether or not this theory must work in the reverse.Toruk's Take
Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Bill Camp, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Glenn Fleshler, Douglas Hodge, Marc Maron, Josh Pais and Shea Whigham opens in theaters October 4th.
