Just the fact that you still think that doc that Joaquin did was real, is a testament to his talent. That wasnt a documentary, it was a mockumentary. It was a movie and he fooled everyone with it at the time. He was playing a character the whole time.

[@bryancarter7654]

Thank you i was just about to say that

[@Lexpionage]

fr i love that movie crazy how people STILL think it was real

[@identity5196]

That was our first movie we watched at film school. Just from the way the documentary was obviously narrated I thought people couldn't think it was real. Then again if you don't know I can see how it can come off as genuine as Phoenix is just a exceptional actor.

[@SolidSnake240]

I remember that lol. People actually thought he went crazy

[@strider9184]

yeah, he went back on David Letterman and explained it.

[@Sam-vk8xd]

This is Joaquin’s take. He’s even said he doesn’t care what comic book fans think of his performance, he is doing his own thing here. That’s a professional. It is an insult to say “he’s taking from heath ledger”. Also, that “rapper documentary” was all acting. The fact you thought that was real shows how amazingly talented he is.

[@xSkittles4mex]

Greg Drake It’s insulting to chalk up his unique performance as taking from Heaths performance. They don’t mean Heath was bad.

[@Sam-vk8xd]

Greg Drake first of all. I’m not angry at all. Second, I’m sure you can share your opinion and thoughts without insulting me, but until then I won’t reply to your comment with a proper answer.

He was just acting, you moron, stop spreading the vile rumor that he was suffering from mental illness and killed himself for w/e fanboy conspiracy bc your projecting your own distaste of the world onto him.

[@ezekielsparadise4633]

PLOT TWIST: JOAQUIN PHOENIX IS JUST A NORMAL GUY WHO LOVES TROLLING PEOPLE.

[@RNABrand]

This is definitely an Elseworlds type storyline. I'd look into character study of this as Martin Scorsese who is a producer on this which in this trailer has the tone of Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy, which stars Robert DeNiro in both, plus a little twist of The Killing Joke graphic novel. DeNiro is the Comedy Show Host in this movie. I think they can use the idea for a Batman film because Joker is supposed to be 12-15 years older than Bruce Wayne who's the boy he tries to make a smile on . Zazie Beatz might turn into Harley Quinn if she utters a line in the Diner scene like, "That's funny Mr. J" and he responds like, "Mr. J?" and she replies back, "You know, J as in Joker..." It's Rated R supposedly so it's going to have some violence in it for sure.

I feel like it's worth mentioning that Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix were apparently pretty close friends.

Just an idea: What if that girl at 1:28 actually turns out to be Harley Quinn? What if the Joker and Harley meet before the Joker has gone COMPLETELY insane. That could explain why the Joker is going to the hospital. Maybe he's going for an appointment with Harley. Would also explain the elevator shot.
