Joker

Starring Joaquin Phoenix, the film takes place in 1980s Gotham and looks at the early days of Authur Fleck's rise to crime kingpin and Batman's number one nemesis. It'll take place outside of the DC Extended Universe, and rather conveniently sets aside Jared Leto's take on the Clown Prince of Crime. Joker comes to theaters October 4, 2019.

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker arrives in theaters this December.
