‘Joker’ Trailer With Joaquin Phoenix Gets 10 Million Views In One Day [Video]

Since Heath Ledger set the bar pretty damn high for depictions of the iconic DC villain from the Batman series, the pressure has been on to match his intensity with a new Joker.

We won’t talk about the Suicide Squad trainwreck.

Jared Leto, you know what you did.

Part of what makes the Joker such an engaging character is the mystery around his origins. So naturally, people were pretty sceptical when it was announced that they would be making an origin story film starring Joaquin Phoenix.

The film is categorised as a psychological thriller that follows Arthur Fleck, a failed stand-up comedian who is driven insane and turns to a life of crime in Gotham City.

Here’s the first trailer, which, at the time of writing, has been viewed 13 million times. The first 10 million views happened on the day of its release:

I’m going to reserve judgement until I’ve seen the full thing.

The film will be in cinemas on October 4, 2019.

Side note I actually think Jared Leto did a decent job with Joker role. He was very true to the comics and went all in. Margot robbie and him were 2 of 4 saving faces for that film. Waller and deadshot being other 2!

Joker can not have an origin story thats his defining trait noone knows his story. remove that and you destroy the best viillain of all time simple as that I do not support this film at all as a die hard fan of Batman and the Joker I can’t support this film being considered Canon in anyway. I will still see it cause I usually enjoy Pheonix in most his roles but I will never consider it canon DC.
