Directed by Todd Phillips using a screenplay co-written with scott Silver, Joker presents an alternate origin story for Batman’s arch-nemesis.
Joker has proven to be a tremendous hit with IMDb users, as the controversial movie is now among the online database’s highest-rated movies of all time.
To be clear, the standalone movie has no storyline connection whatsoever to any other movies from Warner Bros. and DC.
The movie pulled in nearly $100 million domestically during its opening weekend, and those numbers will only continue to climb.
