The upcoming Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix is an interesting one, and one that many fans are sure about. On one hand it’s produced by Martin Scorsese – but on the other hand, WB hasn’t exactly had the best results with DC Comics movies. Either way, we now have our first look at Phoenix as the character – and it’s definitely going to be talked about:

Anyone saying he wouldn’t be a good fit for Joker has obviously never seen Gladiator.
