JOKER

In the 1980s, in Gotham City, Arthur Fleck, a failed stand-up comedian, is assaulted as he walks the streets of the city dressed as a clown. Scorned and despised by all, his gradual madness leads him to become the Joker, a dangerous psychotic killer. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty, Arthur makes a wrong decision that leads to a chain reaction of increasing intensity. An original standalone origin story of the iconic villain not seen before on the big screen, it's a gritty character study of Arthur Fleck, a man disregarded by society, and a broader cautionary tale.
