DC's "Joker" released high-definition stills without drawing any inspiration from comic books

A few days ago, a batch of high-definition stills from the DC film "Joker", which was shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's Venice Film Festival, were released. Joaquin Phoenix, who plays the "Joker", has a sad expression and his movements are a bit crazy, and the film is highly anticipated.

Director Todd Phillips previously said that this will be a unique film. "We didn't take any inspiration from the comic books, which is going to drive people crazy. We created our own version of where someone like the Joker might come from. That's what I'm interested in. We're not even making the Joker, but the story of becoming the Joker. It's about this man."

Warner likes to use the Venice Film Festival to promote its new films during the award season. For example, last year's "A Star Is Born" starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper was screened in Venice last year and won 8 Oscar nominations at this year's Oscars. 2013's "Gravity" also first appeared in Venice and later received 10 Oscar nominations. Director Alfonso Cuarón also won the "Best Director" Oscar.

"Joker" will be released nationwide on October 4.
