First look at Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker in full makeup

 

 

Director Todd Phillips released this clip that shows acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker in a camera test for an upcoming DC comic book film. The entire clip shows Phoenix as a normal person who is revealed to be the creepy villainous clown who terrorizes Gotham City. Now let’s all make wild comparisons with this morsel to the legendary Joker performance of Heath Ledger in ‘the Dark Knight’. The song used is fitting with the Guess Who’s “Laughing”.
