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.
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.
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.
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.
Exactly! I hate people who instantly say a joker, post heath, is being inspired by him. Just no stop. Phoenix is doing his own thing and there was nothing heath ledger esque about that whole trailer other than the fact he has long green hair.
I think its hard not to atleast subconsciously inspire from ledger or other jokers, also, phoenix is a VERY professional actor so he definitly at least studied Ledger's very praised performance
Fred Carmichael he didn’t. He’s mentioned it. It’s an insult to a professional to say that. Joaquin is a stellar actor. He even said that he doesn’t care wether fans like it or not, this is what HE wants t do with the character. Look it up. Heath was amazing. But that was his performance. This is 100% Joaquin.
Can we stop saying he's inspired by heath ledger? He's doing his own thing. There was nothing heath ledger esque about his performance other than the fact he has long green hair. Not ever joker is being inspired by heath. Just STOP.
Not to be a smart-ass or anything but I guess you could say he took some inspiration from Ledger as Ledger took inspiration from the early jokers and them the comics
"Not every joker is inspired by Ledger". Since we've had a grand of total of two Jokers since Ledger, including this one, uhh derrr no shit, what a stupid thing to say.
@@DavosOfHouseSeaworth He ain't wrong. It's just politrics. The fact that Leo took over what? 20 years to get a Oscar is more then enough proof that it ain't about talent, and since it isn't, it makes it pointless.
"Am I not merciful?" "AM I NOT MERCIFUL?" Joaquin Phoenix is definitely the right choice for the movie. He has already proven he can play a great psycho villain such as Commodus who in my opinion is highly underrated and probably should have won the supporting actor oscar.
Heath wouldn't be proud of this new overly political world we've developed, in fact I think he's better off dead than alive. Might even be the reason he killed himself
† Priest † Please shut the fuck up. Heath was a real person with his own life and had a child. You clearly know nothing about him besides from his portrayal of a comic book character bc if you did you'd know that Heath was involved in politics and would be deemed a leftist (e.g. was anti-war and anti-imperialist, pro gay rights, despised hyper masculinity, acknowledged and critiqued white (and male) privilege in the film industry, and was no way the person he played in The Dark Knight). 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. Grow up.
Greg Drake No, I was just stating a common occurrence. I never said this was a bad reaction and/or dismissing how they react. But yeah, they missed the very last sentence when they thought it was over. Again, nothing wrong with that.
the weird interviews and the fake rap career were inside jokes only he was in on. abd he was 100% willing to damage his career for years to do them. it kinda proves he is the man to play the joker
How can you say his joker is perfect off of a 2 minute trailer and you haven't even seen the movie. People also swore Jared letos joker was amazing off suicide squad trailer and look how that turned out...
I read a good comment elsewhere, so I can't take credit: In 1989, the Joker was made by toxic waste. In 2019, society is the toxic waste. I can imagine a direct link from this to the Dark Knight Joker.
First of all, love you guys and I always enjoy your enthusiasm on all the videos you do! Second, that trailer is one of the best trailers I’ve ever seen. It’s art all by itself. This movie is going to be amazing.
Lol, the rapper time was him doing a part for someone. He was hired to be that for awhile. Consider it art. But in no way was it real. I think it was pretty fascinating to do it though as an artist.
Art project, the whole thing of him going crazy was him and Casey Afleck showing what real “reality tv” would be like. Plenty of interviews, most specifically Joaquin explaining it on his return to Letterman. Love the reaction vids though!
Charlie Chaplin wrote the music for 'Smile' back in 1936 for 'Modern Times', which I recommend you watching if you haven't already, and I believe he was on the posters on the sides of the museum scene with the red carpet. This looks amazing!!!
King of Comedy meets Taxi Driver. Count me in, tired of the same old Superhero movie tropes. Only thing I'm not sold on yet is Todd Phillips as Director.
I am so hyped for this, i have always been a massive batman/Joker fan and this take on the character without any superheroes looks amazing to me. I just can not wait!! bring it on!
I have a feeling the scene from 2:27 where he is in front of the mic, is him trying to smile while everyone shits on his jokes gotta feeling its gonna hit us in the feels.
My wife and I have watched this trailer probably five times. And I agree with her that this could be another oscar-worthy Joker performance. Especially with a first name that kinda sounds like Joking
The documentary where he became a rapper is an experimental film. He is only acting like he lost his shit and the interview with Letterman is part of the marketing for the film to further sell that he lost it. Joaquin is definitely a weird dude but he never is "unhinged" like that
Well I think it's because they probably feel like they've seen enough for themselves if they see more it just gives away more (even though technically it doesn't) plus it's almost time for the movie no point really
Joaquin phoenix was already THE JOKER if you see his famous movies. No one inspired him for this role IMO. His personality and acting was always of this weird style and i personally love it.
@@ChristUponus Ledger confined himself in a room for the role in order to flush out the joker. Phoenix was already there waiting with a glass of champagne to greet him.
@@sampson3121 lol seems legit, nothing i can say to that to be honest. Really looking forward to this movie, the trailer may be good but i'm still keeping my expectations at a moderate level.
This joker reminds me of a comedy show by Stewart Lee about the bumpy career journey of a comedian. As the show goes on his mental state deteriorates. When I saw it live you wonder if it's real or part of the show.
Amazing reactions and dialogue. This movie looks phenomenal. The cast choice with Phoenix appears to be spot on. What he's doing with this character appears to be something very special. This film might just be one for the ages.
Personally, this is exactly what I've been wanting a lot more of when it comes to comics based movies for a long time. Standalone films, not part of an interconnected universe or larger franchise, which are just their own, unique take on a character. Not meant to be definitive, just its own thing.
this is a movie that i expected to be good based just on the people involved, but wasn't sure if it was a movie i wanted to see or needed to be made. this sold me, i'm more excited for this than anything the actual DCEU has put out thus far
Notice how the music changes when he's walking down the hall in full Joker mode. It goes from that classic song, then you suddenly hear the horns come in and cast a dark overtone. It's like their saying "The Joker has arrived."
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 love y’all reactions. I’ve been a long time TH-cam subscriber and viewer and just decided to make the move to become a subscriber to your Patreon! It’s my first time being a patron, but I love your reactions so much that I needed to do this! $5 patron here I come!
Love the fact that their going with the whole mental illness, depressed bullied Joker story. It’s a lot darker & relatable than just the fact that he fell into a tub of toxic chemicals. Now here’s my theory breakdown of the trailer. Now we see in the beginning how he is pushed to his breaking point by the way society is treating him. I believe the man on the TV talking about “The coward behind the mask” is Thomas Wayne. Now the Joker sees this & feels attacked, so he pays a visit to Wayne Manor where I believe the little boy that he’s making the smile on his face, is young Bruce. We see him playing with a gun in the scene where the man on the TV is talking about him..NOW, what if that man is intact Thomas Wayne & the little boy is Bruce Wayne? What if the Joker was offended by Thomas’s comments towards him & feels that he needs to make an example with Gotham’s most beloved family AND what if in this movie HE’S the one that kills Martha & Thomas Wayne in front of young Bruce in the alleyway after the theater. Bruce was right around the same age as the boy in the movie when his parents were murdered.
What I love about him is the Joker makeup. I hate comparing them, but Heath Ledger never really had a reason to wear the makeup. His hands had white marks meaning he applied on himself everyday, but never really explained why. Joaquin Phoenix though, he has a reason for applying the makeup. He was a clown way before he was the Joker. He was wearing the makeup before he became the Joker. Also, the fingers in the mouth where a forces a smile. It's because he's had a terrible and sad laugh and he believes that he's supposed to bring happiness to the World. That's what his Mom told him and he worships her. So he puts his fingers in his mouth to force a smile even though he can't have one naturally. Another reason for applying the Joker makeup. He's supposed to bring happiness to the World but he can't even smile. That's why he's crying when he forces the smile. So what's the next best thing? Put on makeup so it looks like you're always smiling. Fcking genius. This movie is going to be AMAZING!
If you ask me this is the joker that fights Bruce, it has always been known that the joker is older than him therefore I would be okay with it being final product
The editing of the trailer was done very well, and the cast with the back ground of the Bronx and New York City just made all the pieces feel right. We finally get to see the jokers orgin and nobody could have done it better than Phoenix. Great actor to a point that I don't see any noticeable character from his other films on this trailer. Looking forward
Oh you gotta love the foreshadowing/irony of that man on the TV. That's Thomas Wayne talking about the Joker followers terrorizing the city while wearing masks, calling them "cowards." When down the road when he becomes older, his son Bruce is going to return to Gotham wearing a mask to fight those criminals and terrorizers.
All that last bit of dialogue you missed turned out to just be the last thing Jimmy Durante sings/speaks in the song "Smile". So, really, you didn't miss anything important.
This is not canon to the DCEU. It is considered "Elseworlds" in approach. My thoughts: The only thing canon was stated in "The Killing Joke" - The Joker prefers his origin & past to be multiple choice. This movie simply explores one of those choices. I think it is absolutely brilliant for Warner Bros to have Elseworlds movies. It allows for serious in depth character analysis as an art form without any continuity pressures or constraints a shared universe would require. I see inspiration from Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, & Heath Ledger if I had to make comparisons - but Joaquin Phoenix stands on his own merit here. His performance looks incredible. This trailer is epic, IMO. They should create an award category for teaser trailers just so they can hand one to "Joker".
Bet high that you gonna think this is a story about how he got mad but in the end, his mom was already dad, psychosis reference, he was fucking bananas all along and nobody knows why.
It's probably Chicago but they filmed it mostly here in Newark, NJ. There was a lot of talk about it when it was happening, even asking the public for extras. I tried but didn't hear back.
It's puzzling that so many reactors or those whom claim to follow films have no idea about particular projects. "I didn't know anything about this movie." How can anyone be so invested in the comic book movie genre however miss so much information about this film? The next thing is the theory that (Phoenix) is playing a guy that will go on to inspire the real Joker. No guys...Phoenix is the Joker in this film. Another theory that is thrown at there is that maybe or maybe not this film is connected to the already established cinematic universe. No once again. WB announces that it was it's own solo feature outside the existing continuity when it was first greenlit. For some reason fans, reactors, and the likes want to throw around that WB keeps going back and forward on the placement of this film. No once again it's just you all. -THE PHOENIX
Heath Ledger joker was iconic but Phoenix Joker is gonna blow people mind, I mean the joker character is a person that people don't know his background and how he came to be but finally were getting that

Love the fact that their going with the whole mental illness, depressed bullied Joker story. It’s a lot darker & relatable than just the fact that he fell into a tub of toxic chemicals. Now here’s my theory breakdown of the trailer. Now we see in the beginning how he is pushed to his breaking point by the way society is treating him. I believe the man on the TV talking about “The coward behind the mask” is Thomas Wayne. Now the Joker sees this & feels attacked, so he pays a visit to Wayne Manor where I believe the little boy that he’s making the smile on his face, is young Bruce. We see him playing with a gun in the scene where the man on the TV is talking about him..NOW, what if that man is intact Thomas Wayne & the little boy is Bruce Wayne? What if the Joker was offended by Thomas’s comments towards him & feels that he needs to make an example with Gotham’s most beloved family AND what if in this movie HE’S the one that kills Martha & Thomas Wayne in front of young Bruce in the alleyway after the theater. Bruce was right around the same age as the boy in the movie when his parents were murdered.
What I love about him is the Joker makeup. I hate comparing them, but Heath Ledger never really had a reason to wear the makeup. His hands had white marks meaning he applied on himself everyday, but never really explained why. Joaquin Phoenix though, he has a reason for applying the makeup. He was a clown way before he was the Joker. He was wearing the makeup before he became the Joker.
Also, the fingers in the mouth where a forces a smile. It's because he's had a terrible and sad laugh and he believes that he's supposed to bring happiness to the World. That's what his Mom told him and he worships her. So he puts his fingers in his mouth to force a smile even though he can't have one naturally. Another reason for applying the Joker makeup. He's supposed to bring happiness to the World but he can't even smile. That's why he's crying when he forces the smile. So what's the next best thing? Put on makeup so it looks like you're always smiling.
Fcking genius. This movie is going to be AMAZING!
Brother dead, parents in a colt, gaind wait, lost himself. Holy shit man
If you ask me this is the joker that fights Bruce, it has always been known that the joker is older than him therefore I would be okay with it being final product
I really like the choice of musical score they used for the trailer...
How could one be sceptic about a movie with Joaquin "Am I not Merciful" Phoenix.
The editor & / cinematographer deserves a raise
Oh 'Oscar Awards'one small thing. When you bring me out can you introduce me as JOKER...
It’s always good to know you’re in a hurry to leave when watching your video
The editing of the trailer was done very well, and the cast with the back ground of the Bronx and New York City just made all the pieces feel right. We finally get to see the jokers orgin and nobody could have done it better than Phoenix.
Great actor to a point that I don't see any noticeable character from his other films on this trailer. Looking forward
After Leto’s versión I wasn’t excited, but then I went to see it and now I am in love with this version of the joker.
Only this teaser trailer Is Oscar material
Donquixote Doflamingo Lets hope it doesn’t do what Suicide Squad did. Great trailer but horrible movie. But, I think this will be good.
The movie was shot in Newark, NJ
idk if im just sad today, but the trailer makes me cry. I feel bad for the guy.
No it’s pretty sad bro. Like I heard this from somewhere that he is a product of a broken world and it’s the truth.
Oh you gotta love the foreshadowing/irony of that man on the TV. That's Thomas Wayne talking about the Joker followers terrorizing the city while wearing masks, calling them "cowards." When down the road when he becomes older, his son Bruce is going to return to Gotham wearing a mask to fight those criminals and terrorizers.
1:38 Lol when the guy said Fu*k, At the same time just have a look at Joaquin Phoenix 😂😂😂 it seems like he said that 😂😂😂
All that last bit of dialogue you missed turned out to just be the last thing Jimmy Durante sings/speaks in the song "Smile". So, really, you didn't miss anything important.
being a method actor isn't " taking a page off of heath ledgers book". that's been around forever.... joaquin is doing his own thing
PLOT TWIST: JOAQUIN PHOENIX IS JUST A NORMAL GUY WHO LOVES TROLLING PEOPLE.
This is not canon to the DCEU. It is considered "Elseworlds" in approach. My thoughts: The only thing canon was stated in "The Killing Joke" - The Joker prefers his origin & past to be multiple choice. This movie simply explores one of those choices.
I think it is absolutely brilliant for Warner Bros to have Elseworlds movies. It allows for serious in depth character analysis as an art form without any continuity pressures or constraints a shared universe would require.
I see inspiration from Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, & Heath Ledger if I had to make comparisons - but Joaquin Phoenix stands on his own merit here. His performance looks incredible.
This trailer is epic, IMO. They should create an award category for teaser trailers just so they can hand one to "Joker".
Joker already won best film award at Venice Film Festival. I can't wait for this movie!
Bet high that you gonna think this is a story about how he got mad but in the end, his mom was already dad, psychosis reference, he was fucking bananas all along and nobody knows why.
Looks really good. Chills and goosebumps while and after watching the trailer. :)
It's probably Chicago but they filmed it mostly here in Newark, NJ. There was a lot of talk about it when it was happening, even asking the public for extras. I tried but didn't hear back.
OriPrior66 also in nyc
It's puzzling that so many reactors or those whom claim to follow films have no idea about particular projects. "I didn't know anything about this movie." How can anyone be so invested in the comic book movie genre however miss so much information about this film? The next thing is the theory that (Phoenix) is playing a guy that will go on to inspire the real Joker. No guys...Phoenix is the Joker in this film. Another theory that is thrown at there is that maybe or maybe not this film is connected to the already established cinematic universe. No once again. WB announces that it was it's own solo feature outside the existing continuity when it was first greenlit. For some reason fans, reactors, and the likes want to throw around that WB keeps going back and forward on the placement of this film. No once again it's just you all.
-THE PHOENIX
Thomas Wayne is the guy talking on the TV.
That wasn't Negan!
I think the part where he was running was probably him rushing to get home to his mother, and that when she dies.
They actually shot this in NY. A few blocks from where I grew up actually.
Would be easier to watch if you didn't miss dialogue and the whole feel of the trailer by talking throughout the whole thing.
Heath Ledger joker was iconic but Phoenix Joker is gonna blow people mind, I mean the joker character is a person that people don't know his background and how he came to be but finally were getting that
That was the best trailer in a while
He doesn't took anything from/ or inspired by Heath. This is his own thing, his own take on the character.
One word summary: Unnerving
I’m so happy you guys reacted to this
