After revealing his first look as Batman's iconic nemesis, The Joker, actor Joaquin Phoenix sported goofy costume and make-up for the character. The Oscar winner wore a neon green wig, tiny hat, and plaid jacket as he paraded around a street here holding a sale sign, reported dailymail.co.uk.

Apart from Phoenix, Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Marc Maron and Bryan Callen are also set to star in director Todd Phillips standalone film on Joker. Joker is scheduled to release in October 2019.
