He is known as one of the most terrifying anti-heroes in the Comic and Film Industry, crazy, mad, out of his mind, recognized by his unforgettable laughter and his remarkable outward appearance: The Joker. However, Todd Phillips has humanised this villain and given him a story that not only amazes but also touches the audience.
