Joker looks like it's going to be quite the depressing and unsettling movie.
The first trailer for Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur, a troubled man who develops into an obsessive criminal, depicts a dark, disturbing portrait of the iconic Batman villain. The trailer mostly shows Arthur without makeup, and the scenes where he's in makeup seem to take place before he's wholly committed to the Joker shtick.
Mashable's own Angie Han got a look at the trailer early at CinemaCon, where director Todd Phillips described the movie as a "tragedy," which seems very clear now that we've seen our first footage of it.
Joker arrives in theaters Oct. 4.
