Joker is a 2019 American psychological thriller film directed and produced by Todd Phillips, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Silver. The film, based on DC Comics characters, stars Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker and provides a possible origin story for the character. Set in 1981, it follows Arthur Fleck, a failed clown and aspiring stand-up comedian whose descent into insanity and nihilism inspires a violent countercultural revolution against the wealthy in a decaying Gotham City. Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Glenn Fleshler, Bill Camp, Shea Whigham, and Marc Maron appear in supporting roles. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, Joker was produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Films in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, Bron Creative and Joint Effort.

Phillips conceived Joker in 2016 and wrote the script with Silver throughout 2017. The two were inspired by 1970s character studies and the films of Martin Scorsese (particularly Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy), who was initially attached to the project as a producer. The film loosely adapts plot elements from Batman: The Killing Joke (1988), but Phillips and Silver otherwise did not look to specific comics for inspiration.

A musical sequel, titled Joker: Folie à Deux (transl. "Madness for Two"), is scheduled to be released on October 4, 2024, with Phillips and Phoenix returning.

While Joker was intended to be a standalone film with no sequels,[93] Warner Bros. Entertainment also intended for it to launch a new franchise named DC Black, which would include DC Comics-based films unrelated to the DCEU with darker and more experimental material. In August 2019, Phillips stated that he would be interested in making a sequel, depending on the film's performance and Phoenix's interest. The filmmaker stated that the movie was pitched and created to be standalone, "one movie, and that's it." In October 2019, in an interview Phoenix stated, "I can't stop thinking about it...if there's something else we can do with Joker that might be interesting," and concluded, "It's nothing that I really wanted to do prior to working on this movie. I don't know that there is [more to do] ...Because it seemed endless, the possibilities of where we can go with the character."

In November 2019, The Hollywood Reporter announced that a sequel was in development, though this was later disputed by Deadline Hollywood. Phillips responded to these reports, by saying that there were discussion with Warner Bros. for a sequel, but that it was not currently in development. The filmmaker later clarified that despite ongoing rumors, the then-upcoming Matt Reeves directed film centered around Batman was not related to Joker. Later, he expressed interest in a potential spin-off film centered around Batman in his Joker-universe continuity, stating: "I would like to see someone tackle is what Batman looks like from that Gotham. I'm not saying I'm going to do that."

In May 2021, it was stated that a Joker sequel was in development. Later that month, Phillips had entered negotiations to serve as a screenwriter. In January 2022, Willem Dafoe expressed interest in appearing in the sequel. By June, the sequel was officially confirmed to be in development with Phillips serving as director with a script he co-wrote with Silver. The working title of the project was revealed to be Joker: Folie à Deux. Lady Gaga reportedly was in negotiations to star alongside Phoenix as Harley Quinn, and it was also reported that the film would be a movie musical. Phoenix's salary, as a result of the first film's commercial success, increased from $4.5 million to $20 million for the sequel. On August 3, Warner Bros. Pictures announced that the film will be released on October 4, 2024. Gaga confirmed the next day that she would star in it. Shortly after Zazie Beetz was in negotiations to reprise her role as Sophie Dumond in the sequel.
