As promised yesterday by director Todd Phillips, Warner Bros. has dropped the first epic teaser trailer for the upcoming Joaquin Phoenix-starring origin story, Joker.
Joker, which is set in the year 1981, follow’s Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck character as he “disregarded by his society” and “turns to a life of crime and chaos in Gotham City.”
Unlike recent Warner Bros. and DC movies, Joker will not take place in the DCEU and will be a much more “adult” and “dark” take on the character, similar to what Fox did with Wolverine in Logan.

Joker will be released in theaters on Friday, October 4, 2019, in the United States, although showings will begin on the evening of Thursday, October 3.
