Joker focused on the character's origin story. In the movie, Joaquin Phoenix plays the character of Arthur Fleck, a lonely man with an unsuccessful career in comedy alongside living with his sick mother. The movie shows how the character eventually became Batman's enemy.  The movie also received an 8-minute standing ovation at the Venice film festival and was awarded the top honour at the film festival, i.e. the Golden Lion.

Before the movie hit the theatres, Joaquin Phoenix was questioned on two scenes in the movie that were deemed to be pretty violent. The first scene is when the Joker shoots his colleague at point-blank range in his own apartment and the other is when chaos ensues amongst his supporters at the subway station when one of his supporters is shot by a police officer chasing the Joker.
