With the motive of drawing us into the psyche of Joker, the film’s trailer gives us a peek into the most intimate moments of his life. From dancing with a woman in his living room to hysterically laughing in the train to getting assaulted, Joker’s character is an attempt to show the character beyond his usual ‘supervillain’ persona.
