Heath Ledger set a new tone and bar for the character of the Joker that has fans cosplaying it to this day and even earned Heath Ledgar an Oscar win for his performance. Now, many fans and audiences appear to look towards Heath Ledger’s iconic take to compare to future interpretations of the Joker, including the upcoming version played by Joaquin Phoenix. You can view the awesome image of Joaquin Phoenix striking the same pose as Heath Ledger’s Joker below.
Joaquin Phoenix will be taking on the role of the Joker after Jared Leto’s own interpretation in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, though it’s apparently not the same exact Joker that Leto played. Joker will be directed by Todd Phillips and will have a more grounded character study of the iconic Batman villain with Joaquin Phoenix in the role.
According to Marc Maron, Joaquin Phoenix’s take on the Joker will be more intimate and gritty, focusing more on the character as a person who is mentally ill. Coming later this fall, Joker is one of 2019’s most anticipated films and this image will only have fans begging for more images of Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker.

“Joker” centers around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck (Phoenix), a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale.
Directed by Todd Phillips from a script he co-wrote with Scott Silver, Joker stars Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Bill Camp, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Glenn Fleshler, Douglas Hodge, Marc Maron, Josh Pais, and Shea Whigham.
