Joker (2019) #1: Put on a happy face

Forever alone in a crowd, failed comedian Arthur Fleck seeks connection as he walks the streets of Gotham City.
Arthur wears two masks -- the one he paints for his day job as a clown, and the guise he projects in a futile
attempt to feel like he's part of the world around him. Isolated, bullied and disregarded by society, Fleck begins
a slow descent into madness as he transforms into the criminal mastermind known as the Joker.

Past Threads

I wonder if a superhero will serve as antagonist in this movie? Or if the joker will be more of an anti-hero here as with the venom movie.

^ We should get answers soon

Thanks for the thread! I didn't realize the movie would be coming out this year or a teaser trailer being released.

I have no idea. :shrug: I feel like we know very little about this movie.

Omg Zazie Beetz is going to be in this?! YES!

I watched the Teaser Trailer and it looks like a movie about a man who lives a torturous life full of dark events that drove him into madness.

It's far too realistic for me..sadly

I like the Jack Napier version far more where he's a gang member and he's dumped into the acid by Batman andthen goes mad.... the old Batman 1989 movie

The trailer freaked me out but I understand if others find it intriguing. I doubt if I see this one lol.

Thanks for the new thread! I'm excited for this movie and Joaquin's portrayal.

I guess this version is a comedian who dresses up like a clown and has a rough career and goes through some extreme events.

this movie looks super dark , but i guess some people would like that side of it

^ very true....

most of Batman versions stories started out dark with his parents being murdered

I didn't see Harleen listed in the credits as a character:(

Weirdly, I'm going to wait until I see the movie and try not to watch teaser trailers. I want to be surprised with this movie. It's interesting when different actors portray the Joker so differently.

That was from the comics - the Joker being a comedian and things not working out, getting in with a bad group of guys, that sort of thing.
