The People's Joker

The People's Joker is a 2022 American comedy film that parodies characters from the Batman comics, featuring Vera Drew as Joker the Harlequin, a transgender woman struggling with gender identity and emotional abuse in a corrupt society. She joins an improv comedy troupe, including Oswald Cobblepot (a supporting role played by Nathan Faustyn), and plots to challenge the power structure of a fascistic caped crusader. The film premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival before being canceled due to "rights issues."
