BRONX, N.Y. - A set of stairs in the Bronx is climbing its way to fame, all thanks to a blockbuster movie.

A scene featuring Joaquin Phoenix as the "Joker" was filmed on a staircase, or step street, near Shakespeare and Jerome Avenues in Highbridge.

 

Fans have been flocking to the steps to recreate the dramatic scene.

Some fans of the movie want to take a picture in front of the stairs, while others want to take it to the next level in full costume.
