WASHINGTON — A super villain was inside the White House Saturday night. CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz reported that President Trump hosted a showing of “Joker,” which tells the origin story of Batman’s arch nemesis.
“Joker,” which was released in theaters last month, stars Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, a disturbed young comedian who descends into a world of crime. The movie has proved controversial. It won the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival after it premiered there in August. However, some critics have raised concerns that the film’s dark mood and depiction of a man driven to brutality could inspire copycat crimes. President Trump is a longtime movie fan.
The president also has a personal connection to the “Batman” movies. The 2012 movie about the superhero, “Dark Knight Rises,” included scenes shot at Trump’s Manhattan headquarters, Trump Tower. In a tweet sent that year, Trump suggested filming at his properties could contribute to a film’s success.
“Amazing — both ‘Transformers’ and ‘Dark Knight Rises’ featured Trump properties and each grossed over $1B. Just coincidence,” Trump wrote.
