In a new video produced by Vanity Fair (embedded at the top of the article) Joker director, Todd Phillips, breaks down the opening scene of his origin story for Batman’s chief adversary. Obviously, you only want to give it a spin if you’ve already seen the movie!
If you’ve yet to see Joker for yourself, bookmark this page and come back later. You can check out the film’s synopsis and trailer below.
Synopsis:
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.
Joker stars Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro, and Zazie Beetz.
