Warner Bros. debuted the first look at Joaquin Phoenix in his Joker makeup for the villain's currently-filming solo film, which took the internet by storm.

The character last feature film appearance was in Suicide Squad as played by Jared Leto with a look that fans weren't entirely excited by. Heath Ledger's portrayal of the character in 2008's The Dark Knight is considered by many to be the defining incarnation of the villain, ultimately landing the actor a posthumous Academy Award for the role. Understandably, expectations have been quite high for Phoenix and fans have been eagerly awaiting how he could look as the villain.

Reactions to the look of the character have been mixed, understandably, though fans seem to be happy that the studio would share the look of the character so early on, knowing that the longer we had to wait to see the character, the more pressure would be put on the picture.

See what fans are saying about Phoenix's Joker before it lands in theaters on October 4, 2019!
