And speaking of Phoenix’s character, Joker director Todd Phillips has given us our first official look on Instagram. A rumor over the summer said that The Joker’s real name would be Arthur Fleck, and Phillips confirmed part of that today. “Arthur” is all he captioned the photo below.





Some pics from filming

Sad that he may have 6 months to live.

Don't know so much about these pics, but he is definitely going all out for this role.

This is dream casting for Joker. I can't wait to see his interpretation.

One of the best actors going, and has been for a long time now. Rarely have I seen him in a role and afterwards thought someone else could have done it better. I had no real interest in this movie until he was cast, will watch because of him.

Glad he turned down the role as Doctor Strange so that we can get him in this.

It looks interesting and I'm sure he will be great in it, but seriously. How many Joker and Spiderman and Batman movies are there going to be? It's just getting to be a blur of the same comic shite, over and over again.

I think Phoenix is gonna be great. I just think this is going to be a “Joker” movie in name only.

The two most interesting things about the Joker character - his mysterious origins and acting as a foil to Batman. Both of which I’m assuming won’t be in this movie.

Yeah, rumor is he doesn't become the Joker until the final act. He'll be like these pics the majority of the film.

DC has done the best with casting.
Stories, not so much.

Is he doing the Joker if Jim Carrey was the Joker?

Hopefully this changes. I'm intrigued by this approach.

I'll echo what alot of people have said in that an origin story for Joker seems to destroy everything that's central to his character in that we have no clue who the frick this dude is and what drives him.

BUT I also echo those who say that once Joaquin got involved I became intrigued just to see what he would do with the character.

All of these movies are DC Elseworlds or Marvel What-Ifs to me. To misquote Alan Moore, "They're all imaginary stories."

They gave the Joker a revised origin in the '89 Batman movie. I just wrote it off as a part of that particular film's universe and enjoyed it for what it was.

I just want a good movie. Joaquin Phoenix usually delivers that.

Can we stop rehashing this character already?
