The Gotham City ambulance seen in Joker appears to have a surprising resemblance that has now been spotted by fans.
Joker is very much a self-contained DC films, however there are many Easter eggs that Todd Phillips has scattered in the film that hint at the DC universe and the Batman mythos. Some notable ones include the nods to Amusement Mile, Zorro, the Batman pole, and many others that haven’t even been discovered yet.
On Reddit, a new detail in Joker has been discovered based on the design of the Gotham City ambulance in the film. The back of the ambulance clearly features a red smile and two blue eyes that very much resemble the Joker. While some were quick to make the connection to Heath Ledger’s Joker, his version didn’t sport blue eye paint, but Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker did. While the intention remains unknown, you can check out the neat Joker Easter egg below.

Here is the official synopsis for Joker:
Director Todd Phillips’ Joker centers around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone fictional story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fractured society. A clown-for-hire by day, he aspires to be a stand-up comic at night…but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty, Arthur makes one bad decision that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty character study.
Directed by Todd Phillips from a script he co-wrote with Scott Silver, Joker stars Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Bill Camp, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Glenn Fleshler, Douglas Hodge, Marc Maron, Josh Pais, and Shea Whigham. The DC Films movie is not part of the DC Extended Universe, and seems to play into Warner Bros.’s interests of making creator-driven superhero movies over necessarily building a hyper-connected shared universe… At least for the time being.
Joker is still playing in theaters and is currently available to watch on digital formats. The movie will see a release on Blu-Ray and DVD on January 7, 2020.
