1) I'm really surprised by how not-at-all-secretive the filming of Todd Phillips' Joker has been.

2) I realllllly think Joaquin Phoenix is gonna give Heath Ledger's performance a run for its money with this one. pic.twitter.com/YSgYBl7C50
We have seen the campy clown prince, the gangster mob king, the apathetic anarchist, & the sadistic psychopath.

It's going to be really interesting to see which direction Joaquin Phoenix will take his interpretation of the iconic Joker character. #Joker pic.twitter.com/QmfHYL1RT3
