Joker was a bigger success than anyone could have imagined and it now appears as if we can look forward to an entire slate of R-Rated DC Comics adaptations spearheaded by Todd Phillips.

One of the most memorable moments in the movie came when Joaquin Phoenix's Clown Prince of Crime danced down the stairs in his neighbourhood to the tune of Gary Glitter's "Rock And Roll Part II." Now, a local resident has shared footage they secretly shot of the actor preparing for the scene and then getting his groove on in this amazing set video.

With any luck, we can look forward to some official behind the scenes footage on the inevitable DVD and Blu-ray release of Joker as getting more insight into Phoenix's performance is a must.

Check out the video below and stay tuned for more on The Joker's big screen future!

If you didn't know what was going on, that would just about be the most terrifying thing you could look out of your window to see.

An idiot dressed as a clown dancing by himself is iconic? Jesus Christ, now I understand why as a species we are doomed.

@Lanza10

Whether you like it or not - it is an iconic scene. The stairs themselves have been a touristy hotspot.

Not to mention the scene itself was awesome.

I think it would be amazing to see him take on a Mr Freeze origin story!

@JonAwesome - I'm betting whilst it would be good, it would be VASTLY different from the comics. I doubt we'd get the full Nora Fries story.

I'd be down for it tho. Maybe even throw in an Arnold cameo for old times sake?
