Looks like IT is not the only terrifying clown who gets his own film this Fall.
The new trailer for the Warner Bros movie Joker has just been released! Oscar winning actor Joaquin Phoenix plays the role of the ionic villain, known as Arthur Fleck; a struggling comedian in Gotham City who takes care of his sick mother.

As the trailer comes to a close, Arthur Fleck asks to be introduced as the Joker, and nothing else.
