The poster for the standalone origin movie Joker has been released. The film from director Todd Phillips will star Oscar-nominee Joaquin Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Crime in a tale of how failing comedian Arthur Fleck would become the arch nemesis of Batman. The poster shows Phoenix in clown make-up with his head lent backwards, with the poster containing the tag line "Put On A Happy Face". Joker will also star Oscar-winner Robert De Niro as a talk show host, Deadpool 2 star Zazie Beetz as cynical love interest Sophie Drumond, and Frances Conroy as Arthur's mother, Penny. It is unknown if Oscar-winner Jared Leto will reprise his role as The Joker in the DCEU following Suicide Squad.
