JOKER - Teaser Trailer | Reaction + Discussion 

_"Just the trailer alone is cinematic excellence."_ Perfectly stated. Completely concur. They should introduce a new Academy Awards "Best Trailer" category based on this masterpiece.

Nicholson was the Comedian Ledger was the Psychopath Leto is the Gangster Phoenix is the Broken Man

How come no one ever mentions how incredibly dark and emotional this trailer is. They have portrayed mental challenges extremely accurately!

I'm calling it right now Joaquin phoenix is winning the Oscar next year what an actor 👏👏👏

Did he say Jared Leto Joker stayed true to the Heath Ledger? I just spit coffee all over my monitor....

A really damaged Joker doesn't need any 'damaged' tatoo on his forehead. This, is The Joker.

You lady on the right, what you described is called excellent cinematography poetry with noir 70's Scorsese crime vibe. Phoenix is gonna JOKE to an Oscar.

Her: what what what Joker: WHAT😠👁👁? 2:26

Joaquin Phoenix will kill this role!

Oscar Alert ! Oscar Alert ! 🚨

The little boy behind the gate, is Bruce Wayne.

angst, frustration, and sadness just pours out of each pore of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. Jared Leto just looked bored.

Joker is not a character baby its whole ICON

I’m calling Oscar-winning performance already. I think a lot of people including myself can relate to what’s happening into this trailer especially in today’s social media type society. This is pure awesomeness. Who wouldn’t want to lose their sanity and just take it out on the world.

Goes up the stairs as a broken , empty man Walks down the stairs as the man he wishes to become

If you look at his notes, he writes that the worst thing about having mental illness is that people expect you to act like you don't. So it seems like we're dealing with a very grounded look at the joker as someone who suffers from mental illness in the context of a broader society that is uncaring of or unequipped to deal with the mentally ill. From the first scene, we see a therapist who's more or less done with treating him, and he who's more or less indulging her, but is equally un-engaged and removed. The smile is forced--as it is in every other scene. He's a man who's trying to put up a facade. And it doesn't really fit into an appropriate "mold" of normalcy. He laughs during a skit where other people aren't laughing. And even when he's laughing, he's not really smiling. So it's not genuine insofar as it's not an organic laugh. It's the product of what he thinks he should be doing. And the only genuine smile seems to appear at end in the elvator, where he appears to be at or drawing closer to the person he's most comfortable being.

LOL. Leto stayed true to Heath Ledger? ? Best joke I've heard today.

Uphill as good guy And then Downhill as Joker Yeaaa ... I'm hype

Girl watching at 2:26 “What what what?” Arthur Fleck: What?

Very good reaction. Subscribed. This looks amazing. Perfect combination of cinematography, acting and general athmosphere.

Great reaction, and that 2:32 reaction to his laught :) Joaquin Phoenix is a amazing actor, and the trailer is very good! Chills and goosebumps while and after watching it. :)

That's joker's fake laugh. His real laugh is moments later

no need throw him to toxic chemical waste pool just throw him in to toxic societies

The thriller of a trailer brings me back constantly, and I'm even driven to all these reactions and reviews. 10/10

chills, this goin for an Oscar for sure! trailer alone deserve an oscar

i always sense the pain in this joker's laugh (in the train)...

Love your intro song this reaction was fire.👏🏻

Honestly this looks perfect.

4:22 It’s one of the best trailers I’ve ever seen!

2:44 the way her face looks disturbed is priceless

Just the trailer is Oscar worthy...JP is genius!

That part you replayed is not the joker laugh... that’s him forcing himself to laugh at the club to try to deal with his pain. The train is his laugh.

This was set in 1981. And that IS Bruce Wayne. On the TV, it’s THOMAS WAYNE!

The boy that the Joker forces a smile on is a newly orphaned Bruce Wayne.

That girl is alright

Lol the girl on the right is trying her best to keep up 😂 "yeah!" "Really?" "I love this trailer" 😂😂

Love ther reactions and cabinets

1980's Joker: Drop him in chemicals 2019 Joker: Drop him in society

I really wish people would stop saying it’s creepy that he dances and baths his mother. Does no one realize the woman seems like she has Alzheimer’s. it shows throughout the trailer that Arthur has to take care of her. I have done this before with my own grandmother and I’m 25. There’s nothing creepy about this it’s usually those brief moments of lucidity or where they can remember a fun moment that you also remember. Because it only gets worse later on and it’s hard to watch this person that you shared much with become like this.To anyone else who’s done this they understand that Arthur’s mother might his only last link to sanity and I’m guessing in the movie she dies while he’s either being restrained in the hospital or gets beat up on the train and passes out.

It takes place in the 80's.

3:54 no one here was paying attention 2:50 IS THE ACTUAL LAUGH

The kid he was making smile was Bruce Wayne

The boy was Bruce Wayne it was confirmed

4:30 “Just the trailer alone is cinematic excellence” Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Its the toxicity of the city (instead of toxic chemicals) same

somebody else said this in a comment somewhere.. it goes like "growing up, I wanted to be Batman but seeing how the world is now, I understand The Joker"

Durante’s “Smile” is the perfect song to tease this movie. I’m hoping they use “Put on a Happy Face” for the next trailer. It’s another song that would be kind of creepy and ironic when put over clips from this origins movie.

Yo is it ARMYs that run the YT account? The intro song, good taste 😌👍🏻

Love that..!

That laugh though.. 🤩

People didn't know what Joker's laugh sounded like until they heard Joaquin Phoenix.

Endgame would be the best if captain marvel was snapped out of existence by thanos

I think the guys that beat him up on the train are gonna end up being some of his first lieutenants.

IMDB says the kid is playing Bruce Wayne, so you're right about that.

Thomas Wayne is the antagonist in the movie

PLEASE let this be good dc!

That kid in the trailer is Bruce wayne

oh my god did you guys see Bruce Wayne, he the kid that joker made him smile , just notice it lol

Damn! She is beautiful!

The boy is bruce, the man in the tv is the pather of bruce, is the major of gotham. this is confirmed for warner.

Tbh,i never actually get chills with 'jared leto' joker but other jokers,they have the 'true joker vibe' :)

That first laugh in the intro is from Mark Hamill's joker xD and it was spot on the second laugh and body language was from ledger's joker...tho man is a fuckin genius and I think this is going to be one of the creepiest joker to be put on film

No one can be compared to heath ledger No even now But still Joaquin is getting an Oscar ♥️♥️♥️

I love the trailer ! I’m sure you guys know by now that little kid is Bruce Wayne

Not many trailers ever gave me goosebumps, nor cause me to hysterically laugh with excitement as this Joker Trailer has. We will witness a true supervillain Origins story. This looks so damn amazing, because it's dark, gloomy, and realistic. Btw, I bet the little boy behind the gate is a young Bruce Wayne. And the Joker may be targeting Thomas Wayne in the movie. Wonder if he will kill them like in Tim Burton's Batman? 🤔

2:26 Her : what , what ,what Jocker : what Lol :v

That part where he’s in the elevator with that crazy patient I feel like that’s probably his father. I think his fathers is crazy and abusive and he visits him at a mental institution while also seeing a psychiatrist. He pays the bills by working as a clown takes care of his mother. Also his mother gets sick dies of cancer. Also I think the movie kicks off with him being a kid growing up loving clowns. Bruce Wayne’s dads on the tv talking about what kind of man hides behind a mask. Joker also puts a smile on a young Bruce Wayne. I have a feeling this joker kills Bruce Wayne’s parents. 😭🃏

Catch 22: Pilots in WWII Africa try to get out of the place they're at by telling the base shrink that they're going crazy. But he, knowing what a terrible place it is, declared only a same person would try to get out of there. A crazy person would call it normal. M.A.S.H.: In a war correspondent interview episode, BJ. discusses Klinger and many exploits trying to get out of the Army. B.J.'s assessment? "Klinger's the sane one. It's the rest of us that are crazy". Why do I bring up these two examples? They perfectly explain the Joker's philosophy. In his mind, *he* is the sane one. While the rest of us are crazy. Because only a crazy person would try to pretend the world was normal. This trailer seems to encapsulate the feel ü this perfectly. Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur tried to play normal, and the world turned on him. So he tries insanity. And suddenly the world makes sense. This gonna be great!

Also we see the world through joker’s eyes, which means Joker sees the world as evil, and he is the only good person.

missed the laugh at the subway after he was punched

Joker has ALWAYS been part of DC Comics.

Oscar Nomination incoming.............................

When Martin Scorsese is working in a movie its guaranteed success!

He puts the smile on bruce wayne face was awesome

The little kid IS Bruce Wayne. He's even listed as such on IMDB.COM.

This trailer is way better than the Avengers one by a long shot.

Batman is NOT in the movie, so you aren't going to see any Batman references but the young boy in the trailer that Joker makes smile is a young Bruce Wayne. Thomas Wayne is also someone that pushes back against the Joker in the movie

Best teaser ever ...

jared leto's joker is different. and so cool . original . i like different things .

every one thought that joker would kill some gangsters rob banks and shit lol

Lit movie love the trailer

I don't get the "Aren't they the same age?" . Joker imho has always been slightly older than Batman in most depictions of batman vs joker. I always felt Joker as this 40s guy as Batman this late 20s guy. While we all know Jokers backstory is vague and not set in stone two things that I always remembered, was the often portrayed "fell in chemicals" story and the other one was that Joker was behind or was the killer of Bruce Waynes parents. This is my idea what will happen: It will depict a spiral of emotion, with him losing his jobs and the first "madness" will culminate with her mothers death. He will be obviously mad and will realize his target has to be the societies top who hasn't felt hard times and might even have caused his life to fall apart. His first target probably is Deniro. Which will cause infame and uproar in society. His most avid opponent will be Batmans father who will taunt him until Joker finally deals with him and perhaps they will lead into Bruce Wayne getting his own first trauma as a kid, kind of drawing the story arc together of the villain finishing his revenge and the 'hero' just starting his journey.

Am I the only one who's watching a lot of reactions of this trailer ?

The best of revenge, with smile 😈😈😈

It's hard to believe that the Joker was ever normal. I guess this movie will be the proof.

This is just the proto-Joker. You are the first one I've seen who called it right.

This movie is amazing

They are not including it. Bruce Wayne is very young (as IMDB says). Think of it like an Elseworld story.

so now that yall have seen it how do yall feel about his transition into a serial killer and being a complete crazy at the end? lol

3:15 that little boy is Bruce Wayne aka Batman

That intro! Yes!! Leto’s laugh was absolute sh*t

Man on TV is Thomas Wayne and kid is Bruce

“The laughing joke” look it up

His RUN is extremely "Joker" and I have not seen a single review mentioning it. I think they studied the cartoon as well. (still my favorite, even above Heath Ledgers performance) I would love to see the movie end with "Have you ever danced with the devil..............." I don't care about DC so much outside of the Batman side of things, I personally think those things need to be full adult. (I know kids love batman too.....fuck it. Make this the beginning of the adult version. Keep making batman movies for the kids too.....two separate movieverses or something.

Martin Scorsese is producer and there's a lot of The King of Comedy and Taxi Driver in this, which stars Robert DeNiro and Deniro is the comedy club host in this trailer... Killing Joke and some Hitchcock's Psycho, you got probably a great movie. Take my money WB and DC. Take my money now.

For what I read Warner is trying to make DC dark which is completely out of the DCEU so the stories done under this banner may all end up been rated R movies and get the more gritty and mature versions of the comics while DCEU focuses on the normies and the PG-13 family friendly crap

Indeed, the kid is Bruce Wayne

This is the theory. This Joker did his thing starting in the 80's (while Bruce Wayne is a child) but this Joker does whatever until Batman starts becoming a thing in Gotham. This Joker tortures and corrupts Robin into being the Jared Leto Joker. You can look up theories that Jared Leto Joker is actually a Robin that got tortured by a older joker and went crazy and took up the mantel of the Joker. That was just kind of a theory that I had when I first saw the trailer.

That little kid is Bruce Wayne.

at :22 doesn't the red bar under the video indicate you already saw the trailer? so its not a true first reaction... "They can be on the same level as Marvel"...wtf. She explained nicely as to why this is her second favorite trailer andwhat she liked about this trailer, the lighting cinematography the musical choice ...what did she like about the Avengers Trailer?
