After dropping the first trailer in April, Warner Bros has released the final trailer of Joaquin Phoenix-starrer Joker. Set in the 80s, the trailer of Joker offers an insightful glimpse into the life of Arthur Fleck, played by Joaquin Phoenix. Arthur is a failing stand-up comedian who who works as a clown-for-hire by the day. He struggles to make sense of himself in the increasingly cruel society of Gotham, finally making his way into the criminal underworld.

The final trailer is filled with expectations of a powerful performance as we watch Phoenix breathe life into the layered and extremely complicated character of Joker.
