A chilling teaser trailer for the highly-anticipated Joker movie made its debut this morning, giving fans a first look at Joaquin Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Crime and other key players like Brett Cullen as Thomas Wayne, the father of Bruce Wayne, a.k.a. Batman. Bruce himself was apparently also in the sneak peek, though. See the moment below.
That’s Dante Pereira-Olson, who’s credited as “Young Bruce Wayne” on IMDb. Of course, IMDb can be edited by just about anyone but the fact that Thomas Wayne is also in the movie means that there’s a good chance that this is indeed Bruce Wayne.
Warner Bros. is looking to tap into Scorsese classics such as Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, with the Joaquin Phoenix film set in a gritty and grounded 1980s Gotham City. Todd Phillips is directing the standalone piece, which is said to be separate from the DC Extended Universe in an effort to create new and unique storylines to expand the canon.
Phillips also wrote the script with Scott Silver, the man behind the 2002 drama film 8 Mile starring Eminem. The project is said to focus on the Clown Prince of Crime as a failed 1980s comedian who becomes The Joker after bombing with audiences.
Opening in theaters on October 4, 2019, Joker stars Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Marc Maron, Brett Cullen, Bryan Callen and Robert De Niro.
