VIDEO : Is Joaquin Phoenix's Joker Look Inspired By '60s 'Batman' Show?

ComicBook.com reports Warner Bros. has new surprises in store with Joaquin Phoenix in 'The Joker'!

Phoenix has been seen with the green hair and purple suit, but his face paint is a little different than fans are used to.

Concept art from Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' featured various clown masks, which go back to the 1960's Joker and certainly influences this one.

I wouldn?t quite classify this as like any genre. I wouldn?t say it?s a superhero movie? It feels unique, and... Todd seems very passionate about it and very giving, and so that?s exciting.
