Joaquin Phoenix- starrer is also about to generate profits of USD 600 million for Warner and partners Village Roadshow and Bron, who together have a 25 per cent stake in the film.

It will be the fourth DC film to cross the USD 1billion mark after 'Aquaman,' 'The Dark Knight Rises' and 'The Dark Knight'.

While Phoenix has received rave reviews for his portrayal of the iconic Batman villain, the film has been facing flak amid fears that it could trigger violence.'

Apart from Phoenix, the movie also features Robert De Niro, Bill Camp, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Glenn Fleshler, Douglas Hodge, Marc Maron, Josh Pais, and Shea Whigham.
