  • - The latest Joker trailer has fans losing their minds.

  • Grab your red noses and clown makeup, Joker fans.

  • After being teased out this week,

  • the final trailer for Joker dropped Wednesday

  • and the spot for the Todd Phillips flick

  • starring Joaquin Phoenix as the eponymous Joker

  • really hit the ground running.

  • Reportedly, the film will be a character study

  • on the Joker's origin and how and why Phoenix's Arthur Fleck

  • will become the clown prince of crime.

  • And based on what we are seeing in the latest footage,

  • this certainly seems to be the case.

  • The trailer is chock full of homages to classic films

  • like Scorsese's 1982 film, The King of Comedy

  • as well as references to Batman and Gotham City lore.

  • Come on!

  • Thomas Wayne punches the Joker.

  • Heck yeah!

  • When did we ever think we'd see that on screen, huh?

  • However, if you were looking

  • for some Suicide Squad-esque Joker antics

  • involving knives or forehead tattoos,

  • you might be disappointed.

  • However, disappointed seems to be the word furthest

  • from fans' minds.

  • Joker fans are excited to see this more art house take

  • on the superhero genre, with many claiming it could be

  • an early Oscar contender for Phoenix.

  • So we're going to bring you some of the best reactions

  • on the internet to the Joker trailer, right now.

  • First up, @clayappuzzos seemed to sum up

  • most of the internet's feelings with,

  • "all I gotta say is that the Joker movie

  • "is a cinematic masterpiece already."

  • Which, honestly, might be a bit premature,

  • but we understand the sentiment.

  • Of course, a lot of the comments

  • were bringing on the awards buzz, like Charon on YouTube,

  • who channeled his inner Joker

  • with "Phoenix: Wanna know how I got these Oscars?"

  • (laughs) I sound like Alex Borstein

  • on way too many cigarettes.

  • And Katherine V on YouTube furthered that sentiment

  • with an all caps "I can smell the oscars."

  • And Twitter user @616kinney gave us this delightful

  • and definitely not terrifying gif when they said

  • "Mr Joaquin Phoenix is coming for his Oscar as the Joker."

  • In fact, a lot of people responded with gifs

  • of other versions of the Joker, like @nerds4lifee,

  • who tweeted a gif of Heath Ledger's memorable turn

  • as the Joker, saying "I like that."

  • And @SomeKirbyFan took the opportunity

  • to clown all of Twitter

  • with this screen grab from the trailer.

  • It's true.

  • We're all clowns.

  • @MasterTarantino's criticism turned out to be full of praise

  • with "trailer looks generic but can we talk

  • "about how perfect and creepy Joaquin's laugh

  • "for Joker is because holy (beep)."

  • Yeah.

  • That laugh's gonna haunt our dreams.

  • Can't wait.

  • Drewcast35 on Reddit made a great point by saying

  • "Thomas Wayne punching the Joker...

  • "I guess it runs in the family."

  • Hey, like father, like son.

  • Know what I'm saying?

  • - You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses on, would ya?

  • - Another Reddit user, hab27, had one criticism.

  • "If he doesn't meticulously arrange a billion knives

  • "around him in a circle, I will be disappointed."

  • Right? (laughs)

  • How will we know that this Joker is damaged

  • unless he gets it tattooed on his forehead?

  • @Memelord2019 took to Twitter to remind us

  • "because one killer clown wasn't enough this year."

  • Yeah.

  • With IT chapter two hitting theaters next month,

  • 2019 isn't going to be great for a lot of childhood phobias.

  • We guess we'll have to wait until both films come out

  • and figure out if the Joker or Pennywise

  • has the creepier laugh.

  • (Joker laughing)

  • And we have to close out the reactions

  • with this clever one from @Deshay95,

  • which honestly seems to be the general sentiment

  • from all of the fans with this trailer.

  • Obviously, Joker has built up a lot of hype

  • and since we don't actually see the Joker do anything bad

  • in the movie just yet,

  • maybe it'll end up really surprising us

  • by being the feel good movie of the year.

  • Either way, we can't wait until it hits theaters in October

  • which is, holy (beep), over a month away.

  • But what do you folks think?

  • Are you down to clown with the Joker?

  • What other DC characters would you

  • like to see get the same treatment?

  • And who is your favorite on screen version of the Joker?

  • 'Cause there's many to choose from.

  • Let's discuss.
