“Drama. Joker centers around the iconic arch-nemesis and is an original, standalone story not seen before on the big screen,” the synopsis for Joker reads. “The exploration of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale.”
