Gaga had been teasing fans with cryptic messages on her Instagram for the last few days, starting with pictures captioned "I’m ready for my interview" and "don’t tell me what to wear" as well as "still not October" and "moon dust gets everywhere".
Some of the posts were accompanied by audio of rock-style music.
The trailer for Joker: Folie A Deux features Phoenix singing For Once In My Life by Stevie Wonder, and Gaga singing Judy Garland song Get Happy to him.
The film, which refers to the French term for "madness of two" - when two people in an intimate relationship share elements of the same mental illness, such as delusions - will see the Joker and Harley fall in love at Gotham City’s Arkham Asylum.
The pair are known for their toxic romantic relationship in the comics.
Gaga, also known for roles in American Horror Story and House Of Gucci, was given an Oscar nod for best actress for A Star Is Born and won an original song Academy Award for the film’s track Shallow.
She also released a soundtrack for A Star Is Born.
Joker: Folie A Deux is released next month.
