First Look: Joaquin Phoenix as Joker!

Needless to say, Joaquin Phoenix seems to be the perfect candidate for the standalone movie which will show the birth of the most celebrated villain.
PUBLISHED SEP 21, 2018

Joaquin Phoenix's new look as the Joker is out now, and it might be a good idea to keep the coulrophobics away from it. 'The Hangover' director, Todd Phillips, had earlier revealed the first look of Phoenix as the titular villain on Instagram, but this time it seems Todd has made sure that fans get a real glimpse of the transformation that a man goes through in order to become a psychopathic villain. 

In the new clip, posted on Instagram, Phoenix is seen standing dressed as his character, Arthur Fleck, a failed comedian disregarded by society who ultimately turns into one of the most notorious yet most sensible villains of all times- and of course, Batman's one and only "beau."

As the camera zooms into Phoenix's face, who is otherwise standing in a rather composed posture, one could see flashes of a clown probably trying to creep out. Phoenix's face soon is overshadowed by a clown's smiling face, and ultimately- when all the baggy clothes and decent hair are gone, Phoenix emerges as the Joker with his diabolical laughter.
