Despite a lot of controversy ahead of its release, Joker ended up being a critical and commercial hit which has led to a very real hope that some sort of sequel will follow. It's certainly possible, and director Todd Phillips could definitely put a unique spin on the Batman versus Joker dynamic.

Talking of the filmmaker, he's now shared a very cool behind the scenes shot from the R-Rated DC Comics adaptation of Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix dancing down those now iconic steps. 

They're located in The Bronx and have since become something of a tourist destination for fans of Joker; that's led to a lot of backlash from local residents, of course, and some people looking for photo opportunities for their Instagram accounts have ended up being pelted with eggs! 

It's fair to say that this sequence has become one of the most memorable Joker moments to ever grace the big screen, and Phoenix's performance earned him a well-deserved series of award wins. The movie wasn't overly comic accurate, of course, but that ultimately didn't really matter.

Check out the behind the scenes photo below:

@WakandanQueen - Pennywise’s death scene in It 2 has to be one of the most embarrassingly cringe scenes in any movie in the last few years

@regularmovieguy - itd be funny if it turned out Joaquin only played arthur fleck and there was a completely different actor playing the joker that we never noticed.

Lets face it. The only reason this movie was controversial is because there are people out there thinking either a) having a main character do terrible things means you support those terrible things and b) that sane people will see someone killing a bunch of people and think thats a good thing to do.

Sweet scene. Ruined a bit for me by all those people going to New York dancing on those steps trying to be cool. EVERY ONE OF THEM.

Josh should be forbidden to use the words "iconic" and "hilarious" until he learns the true meanings

After seeing him play Johnny Cash in 'Walk the Line', I always thought Phoenix would make a perfect Harvey Dent

This was a great movie one of the greatest comic book films ever/films of 2019 now this right here is what I'm talking about when doing different comic book films and taking risk with then. The egotistical Kevin Feige should learn from this and what DC is doing and know that not every single comic book movie has to connect and be the same.

It's laughable that you have to mention the film was R-rated. Nothing memorable in the film that was R-rated that I can recall.
