WATCH: The Final 'Joker' Trailer Is So Good It Gave Me Chills

There are plenty of people out there who believe there will never be a portrayal of the Joker as good as Heath Ledger's. I am no longer one of them.

Warner Brothers released the final trailer for their Joker origin film starring Joaquin Phoenix and he looks, and sounds, more than award-worthy in it. You can see a much more human side of the soon-to-be-villain early in the video as a struggling comedian trying to find his place both professionally and in his own head. As the stress of the job adds up, Phoenix's character Arthur descends into darkness before ultimately going off the deep end and renaming himself Joker. My favorite part of the trailer is actually what isn't in it.

Usually we see an overabundance of computer generated imagery in comic book films, but it's refreshingly scarce in here. Instead, the movie was shot on location largely in Brooklyn and features a large number of actors as well as real, physical special effects that keep the movie looking every bit as gritty and grounded as I was hoping it would look.

Catch Joker when it hits theaters on October 4th
