With a new Joker film on the way, now is a great time to revisit the first film starring Joaquin Phoenix as the infamous Batman villain. While Joker doesn’t have any Caped Crusaders loitering around Gotham, it does have incredible performances from Phoenix and the rest of the cast. A fresh re-release of the film on 4K Blu-ray with a fancy steelbook is available to preorder for $28.85 at Walmart ahead of its August 20 release date.

For the extras, you’ll get several behind-the-scenes features on how the film came together, Phoenix’s evolution into the harlequin of hate, costume tests, alternate takes, and more.
In case you missed it, Joker starred Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, a failed comedian living in Gotham City. Stuck in a dead-end job as a clown-for-hire and struggling with a neurological condition that causes him to have random fits of uncontrollable laughing, Fleck eventually snaps under the pressure of one too many bad days and slowly starts transforming into the Joker.
The film is surprisingly grounded, gritty, and has a nihilistic sense of style thanks to director Todd Phillips, while Phoenix steals the show as he slowly becomes more unhinged in this unsettling origin story.
A sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, is scheduled to hit theaters on October 2 and will introduce Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. Joker is notable for being the first R-rated movie to gross over a billion dollars at the global box office and was nominated for 11 Academy Awards–winning two for Best Actor for Phoenix and Best Original Score.
