The final trailer for Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker features a connection to the death of Batman’s parents.
Director Todd Phillips’ Joker will deliver a new take on the origins of the famous Batman villain that is purported to take place in its own universe. However, an eagle-eyed fan spotted a connection to the death of Batman’s parents in the recently released final trailer for Joker.
In Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the death of Bruce Wayne’s parents is depicted in the openings credits of the film and the poster for 1981’s Excalibur can be seen on display at the theater the Wayne family was seemingly attending. The final Joker trailer includes a shot of chaos ensuing at a similar-looking theater where the same poster for Excalibur can be spotted.
Do you think there will be more nods to Batman in Joker? Are you hoping Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker will cross paths with Batman one day? Let us know in the comments section 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 fracturedsociety. 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.
Joker will be released in theaters on October 4, 2019.
