In line with previous reports that filming wrapped for the auteur-driven standalone Joker film, director Todd Phillips has posted to his Instagram officially confirming that principal photography has ended. The post shows the director sitting in one of the grimey sets, with a sign reading "No Unsupervised Patients Allowed," apparently teasing the appearance of a mental hospital. Of course, the mental hospital heavily associated with both the Joker and Batman lore in general is the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, which houses the most dangerous and unhinged supervillains in Batman-themed media.
That’s a wrap on production. Thanks to the greatest crew NYC has to offer. It was a fun shoot— but we’re not there yet.
Joker will delve into the origins of the eponymous DC Comics supervillain, advertised as
"The exploration of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale." It is currently slated for an October 4, 2019 release date.

Welcome, I am Darkknight2149. I am primarily a fan of comic books and their various adaptations, as well as horror and other classic film franchises.
As far as the "DC vs. Marvel" rivalry goes, I'm really not biased when it comes to studios and publishers. Preferences are fine, but I've never understood the basing of opinions purely by the studio/publisher that makes it.
