“Joker” dropped its first trailer Wednesday.

The film’s description reads, “Drama. ‘Joker’ centers around the iconic arch-nemesis and is an original, standalone story not seen before on the big screen. The exploration of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study but also a broader cautionary tale.”

The film hits theaters Oct. 4.
