These challenging performances weren't easy to shake off afterwards.

The news is so t W I s T E d these days.

This isn’t ‘Suicide Squad’s Joker.

Sorry Deadpool.

Saturday Night Live came out of the gates swinging last Saturday with guest David Harbour.

The movie’s success is no joke.

In hindsight, Phoenix says playing Joker was a “dream role.”

The film earned almost as much as ‘Justice League’ in its first weekend in theaters.

This movie’s Oscar chances are no laughing matter.

Watch the dark trailer here.

Director Todd Phillips shared a new photo of the film while working in the editing room.

There’s even more footage and pictures of Phoenix in character as the Joker - including a surprisingly comics-accurate costume.

This is spinoff movie no laughing matter.

The initial reports regarding the upcoming Joker origin movie from writer / director Todd Phillips noted that the project was loosely inspired by the Martin Scorsese classic King of Comedy — so it makes sense that Scorsese himself was persuaded to executive produce Joker. According to a new report, that King of Comedy connection is getting a little more obvious, as Robert De Niro is officially in talks to join Joaquin Phoenix in the DC standalone film.

The ‘Atlanta’ and ‘Deadpool 2’ star is in talks to join the Joker origin story.

It’s officially official: The DCEU will confuse you even more and introduce another Joked played by Joaquin Phoenix.

The film would be the first DC Comics film outside the DC Extended Universe.

And it’s a name that Tim Burton fans will definitely recognize.

By all accounts, a lot of stuff got cut out of Suicide Squad. If you believe the recent press reports, there were two totally different versions of the film competing for release: A darker take from director David Ayer, and a jokier movie edited in consultation with the company that made the film’s popular, upbeat trailers.

Jared Leto is the second name on the poster for Suicide Squad. The only actor to get billed above him is Will Smith. Leto is listed ahead of actors like Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, and Viola Davis, who, unlike the Joker, are all actual members of the Suicide Squad. Despite Leto’s billing, though, and despite the large amount of publicity surrounding his unusual version of the character (not to mention his unusual preparations to play the role, which included sending disgusting “gifts” to his colleagues), Leto has very little screentime in the final film. He’s featured mostly in flashbacks about Robbie’s Harley Quinn and her time before she was captured by Batman. When he finally appears in the contemporary story, he shows up to “rescue” Harley, fails, and crashes in a helicopter. Then he doesn’t show up again until the very last scenes of the movie, when he tries to break her out of prison.
