The first pic of Joaquin Phoenix in the Joker origin movie is the exact opposite of Suicide Squad
Joaquin Phoenix certainly doesn't look like a clown p🍸rince of crime... yet

If Jared Leto's portrayal of eternal Batman archenemy the Joker looked a bit like a heavily-tattooed Juggalo, the version of the character that Joaquin Phoenix is set to play in the upcoming 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Joker origin movie is t꧂he polar opposite. He's... well, take a l🌜ook for yourself:

Th൩at picture comes courtesy of the film's director, Todd Phillips. The caption, "Arthur," seems to be the clown prince of crime's real name, at least if a report from is correct. According to THS, Joaquin will begin the film as "Arthur Fleck," a down-on-his-luck man who returns to Gotham to be with his ailing mother.
Feel free to take that rumor with the biggest grain of salt you can imagine - first of all, any details reꦯgarding an upcoming movie's plot should be treated with utmost skepticism, but secondly, Joker's origin has always been incredibly nebulous. Or as the character himself says in the graphic novel Batman: The Killingꦜ Joke:
"What made you what you are? Girlfriend killed by the mob, maybe? Brother carved up by some mugger? Something like that, I bet. Something like that... Something like that happened to me, you know. I... I'm not exactly sure what it was. Sometimes I remember i♕t one way, sometimes another... I🍨f I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!"
Personally, Warner Bros., Phillips, and Phoenix are going to have to sell me really hard on the idea that this is a movie I need to see. Some things work better without an origin story, and Joker is one such creature, in my opinion. But what about🍷 you? Do you think this looks like a man that could go on to become Batman's greatest enemy?
Hyped or not, the Joker movie continues to make progress. Which is more than we can say for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman, the solo movie starring... well, Batman. That movie is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:not doing so well.
