Meanwhile, TMZ revealed a video of Joaquin Phoenix mirroring the classic look of Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger’s previous interpretations of the character. Phoenix’s Joker has unkempt green hair and heavy make-up, although his purple suit has been switched for a more of a brown and orange fashion combination.
