With
Shazam! set to blast into theaters on Friday, Warner Bros. has chosen now to release the first trailer for
Joker. Needless to say, it looks very different to what most of us expected, and it's a safe bet that this version of the Clown Prince of Crime is going to have a haunting - and possibly even terrifying - origin.
An R-Rating seems almost inevitable at this point, and Joaquin Phoenix is clearly giving it his all here - something which leads us to wonder whether it's possible that
Joker could follow
Black Panther and receive some serious awards attention next year (for its lead star, if nothing else). Either way, we're now taking a closer look at the footage with nearly 80 hi-res screenshots.
There are a lot of great moments in the sneak peek, including a pretty detailed look at how Arthur Fleck transforms into The Joker.
