Protesters have been painting their faces in the style of the villain recently portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix
A number of protesters in Beirut have adopted the Joker as a symbol of protest as demonstrations against the Lebanese government continue.
Demonstrators are demanding that the government be held accountable for the country's ongoing financial crisis, with a series of austerity measures issued last Thursday (October 17) causing outrage and sparking protests in numerous cities and towns across Lebanon.
As Comicbook.com reports, some of those who have joined the demonstrations in the capital Beirut have been painting their face or donning masks to look like Joaquin Phoenix's version of the villainous character from the recent DC and Warner Bros.-produced movie.
