Unlike traditional superhero movies, Joker is a grounded character study set in a decaying 1981 Gotham City. It follows Arthur Fleck , a failed stand-up comedian and clown-for-hire struggling with severe mental illness and a neurological disorder that causes uncontrollable laughter.
Todd Phillips' 2019 film is a stark departure from the traditional superhero genre, functioning more as a gritty, psychological character study than a standard comic book adaptation. While its title suggests a villain origin story, the film is primarily an exploration of systemic failure, mental health, and the thin line between victimhood and villainy.
