Burger King is giving the Bronx a reward for dealing with an influx of people thanks to Joaquin Phoenix's film "Joker."
The fast food chain is giving anyone in the Bronx who dealt with tourists on the now famous "Joker Stairs" on Shakespeare Avenue a free whopper.
 In honor of the film's release on DVD Tuesday, Burger King says Bronx residents can get a free Whopper delivered by Uber Eats using code KINGSTAIRS, until Jan. 12.
