September 29th, 2018 by Marc Comments

While we’ve shared loads of images and footage from the upcoming Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix (here, here and here) we thought we’d share this one in particular because the think it may be a key moment in the movie.

In Alan Moore and Bryan Bolland’s definitive Joker original tale, The Killing Joke, we meet Joker as a failed comedian who has a pregnant wife and, in an attempt to make some money he agrees to aid two hoods break into Ace Chemicals however, on the night the heist is meant to go down he gets news that is wife has been electrocuted and is dead and he wants to cancel the job but the hoods, being hoods, won’t allow him to.

It’s this job that leads to comics’ greatest villain being born:

So, what if, in the leaked footage below, we’re seeing the character being told of his wife’s death or the death of someone he loves deeply which leads to him breaking and beaming Joker?

Let s know your thoughts…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
