As October 4th inches closer and closer, Warner Bros. is really starting to pick up the marketing campaign for Todd Phillips' highly-anticipated
Joker, which has been garnering widespread critical acclaim and serious Oscar buzz for its 3x Academy Award-nominated leading man Joaquin Phoenix (
The Sisters Brothers).
While plot details have mostly been kept under wraps, the film is expected to tell the twisted and undeniably disturbing origin story of the Dark Knight's most notorious villian.
In addition to Phoenix, the film also stars Robert De Niro (
The Irishman), Zazie Beetz (
Deadpool 2), Frances Conroy (
American Horror Story), Brett Cullen (
The Dark Knight Rises), Brian Tyree Henry (
Atlanta) and Marc Maron (
GLOW).
The latest promo banner for the film features Phoenix's Arthur Fleck in full Joker-mode.

“Joker” centers around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck (Phoenix), a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale.
