DC fans are so particular about the sound of Joker’s laugh that it’s nearly impossible for a new actor to please everyone. However, this tweet is indicative of just close Phoenix may come to that goal.
Seals the Deal
Aw man. This is gonna be intense. That laugh in the beginning sealed it for me. Definitely watching this. He’s such an amazing actor. I wish he was playing the real Joker.

DC fans are already dissecting Phoenix’s laugh to pick out all of the underlying emotions that the laugh conveys.
Deep Research
His Joker laughter is perfect. It’s oddly satisfying to hear. He actually watched countless of videos of people suffering from pathological laughter to get Joker’s laugh. Ooomph.

The stories of how Phoenix researched actual sufferers of pathological laughter are already making his Joker laugh the stuff of cinematic legend.
True Canon
This is the true representation of Joker from the comics btw. He used to laugh for few seconds while doing anything. Looks creepy but I’m so gassed for this film man. pic.twitter.com/5HiLMw5STM

This DC Comics fan takes it back to the Joker’s classic roots in the comments – which Phillips and Phoenix may be referencing with this version of the Joker laugh.
It’s ALL Good
I think all live action Jokers have very different but good Joker laughs. They all are their own and that’s beautiful. No one has to copy one another to be great pic.twitter.com/ebNHKQGnjI
