Coba jelasin Pengambilan gambar dari Joker (film 2019) dong

Pengambilan gambar utama dilakukan pada September 2018 di Kota New York, dengan judul sementara Romeo. Beberapa saat setelah pengambilan gambar bermula, De Niro, Brett Cullen, Shea Whigham, Glenn Fleshler, Bill Camp, Josh Pais, dan Douglas Hodge diumumkan terlibat dalam film ini, dengan Cullen menggantikan Baldwin. Bradley Cooper joined the film as a producer, and the director of photography was Lawrence Sher, both of whom Phillips had previously collaborated with. On September 22, a scene depicting a violent protest filmed at the Church Avenue station in Kensington, Brooklyn, although the station was modified to look like the Bedford Park Boulevard station in the Bronx. Filming of violent scenes also took place at the abandoned lower platform of the Ninth Avenue station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Menurut Zazie, Todd menulis ulang seluruh naskah selama produksi; karena Phoenix kehilangan begitu banyak naskah untuk film ini, tidak akan ada kesempatan untuk melakukan pengambilan gambar ulang. Zazie mengingat, "kita akan melihat trailer Todd dan menulis adegan itu untuk malam ini dan kemudian melakukannya. Selama rambut dan riasan, kita menghafal naskah itu dan kemudian melakukannya dan kemudian kita akan mengambil gambar ulang itu tiga minggu kemudian." Phillips recalled Phoenix sometimes walked off-set during filming because he lost self-control and needed to compose himself—to the confusion of other actors, who felt they had done something wrong. De Niro was one of the few Phoenix never walked out on, and De Niro said he was "very intense in what he was doing, as it should be, as he should be."

Pengambilan gambar di Jersey City bermula pada 30 September and shut down Newark Avenue, while filming in November, starting on November 9, shut down Kennedy Boulevard. Filming in Newark began on October 13 and lasted until October 16. Shortly before the Newark filming, SAG-AFTRA received a complaint that extras were locked in subway cars for more than three hours during filming in Brooklyn, a break violation. However, the issue was quickly resolved after a representative visited the set. That month, Dante Pereira-Olson joined the cast as a young Bruce Wayne. Whigham said towards the end of October the film was in "the middle" of production, adding that it was an "intense" and "incredible" experience. By mid-November, filming had moved back to New York. Filming wrapped on December 3, 2018, with Phillips posting a picture on his Instagram feed later in the month to commemorate the occasion.
