Joker is one of the darkest mainstream movies which is shaping up to be this year's biggest box office hit, according to box office reports; this, despite courting competition from multiple actors who have portrayed the Joker character in the past. The film was received positively by fans and critics all around the world when it hit the big screen and broke the October opening box-office record, according to reports from a global media tracking movie performances.
Joker - the origin
Joker, directed by Todd Phillips, is the origin story of Detective Comics #168 (February 1951) who introduced the character as Red Hood. The man was later known as Batman's arch-nemesis 'The Joker' in its original continuity. Joker is simply regarded as the most baffling DC villains, whose character has been given different flourishes over the years. The character, however, was immortalised 11 years ago when portrayed by the legendary, Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.
On the work front
Shah Rukh Khan last appeared in Aanand L Rai's Zero, which co-starred Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif in pivotal roles. The film did not perform so well at the box office. He is currently on a self-proclaimed sabbatical and focusing more on producing shows.
