The final Joker trailer promises a gritty character study of Batman’s archnemesis

Thursday August 29, 2019



The final trailer for Todd Phillips’ Joker has arrived, and it reveals the gritty, dark take on the iconic Batman villain.

The Warner Bros. description of Joker says, “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.”

Arthur isn’t the only one putting on a clown mask, though. The trailer also shows a Gotham City full of rioting clowns, possibly as a thematic stand-in for something like the disaffected-with-society Anonymous movement in the real world.

It’s heavy stuff, and it promises a far more serious take on the Joker’s traditional comics supervillainy than the already fairly grounded approach seen in 2008’s The Dark Knight.
