Joker 'JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX' (Phillips and Phoenix return for the sequel) General News & Discussion Thread

[BobJM]

According to twitter, looks like it's Harry Lawtey.

You sure? I don't doubt that's what Twitter is saying but I don't know if I buy it...he seems so young. Cute though

Bruce is a kid in this universe, so does age really matter?

 

[emielaen]

Well it certainly looks about 100x better than any comic book thing as of late. The production is bananas.

Fair

Seriously, I want to know why Batman was just sitting in the courtroom in full costume, that entire time!

I want to know why Lando Calrissian somehow started cosplaying as Deputy Gerrard

 

[dhandler01]

It almost feels like they are doing what was rumored before...setting up all the villains in the universe where Batman doesn't exist. What is Gotham like if Batman never showed up.

The visuals alone have me hyped

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

The trailer is everything I wanted and more. So hyped for this. Love the elevator shot of Harley referencing the first movie. Hell, I love everything about this. I cannot wait. Incidentally, watching the YouTube viewing figures shooting up in the bottom left corner as I watched was insane (appropriately enough)! If the movie lives up to that trailer we have nothing to worry about.

 

[Venom 1988]

Here we go. Also, Joker representing himself in court is a perfect recipe for greatness!

When Goyer first mentioned his original idea for TDKR involving the Joker on trial, I so wished we got to see that. Granted he mentioned that back in 2005, so who knows how far that idea got. But hopefully this will be great as well.

 

[Gothamsknight]

I honestly think this will be more memorable than the first film. The musical aspect initially made me hesitant, but I'm fully embracing it now and it looks beautiful.

Plus, Joker on trial is always fun.

 

[The Joker]

I prefer the first trailer, but this was good at showing more of Harley. I like what Gaga seems to be doing with her.

Everyone's reaction when the new Nintendo Switch X comes out.

 

[Adrian Chase]

But Deadpool comes out this week.

Yes, I know, but still...

The Batman is on the same level of greatness.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Yes, I know, but still...

And I agree with you, to be fair. I don't know if lightning can strike twice, but I think Joker 2 has the potential to surprise everyone again with its box office. More so because you've got legions of Lady Gaga fans who probably never saw the first Joker film, but will watch this because she's in it.

 

[emielaen]

The Batman is on the same level of greatness.

Oh yeah, that goes without saying. I like that look more than Joker’s and it’s probably my favorite aspect of Joker.

 

[Rod]

Damn, this is some high praise.

WB has to be EXTREMELY confident to put a sequel in Competition.

This bodes really well in terms of positivity.

[Sawyer]

Still absolutely loving that white suit look.

The TDKR vibes…

 

[dhandler01]

That second cover is awesome!

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Art Vandelay]

Still absolutely loving that white suit look.

The TDKR vibes…

Although I'm a bit surprised we still don't see much purple with any of his looks. They've really given him his own look for these movies.

 

[Captain Tired]

Still absolutely loving that white suit look.

The TDKR vibes…

There does appear to be a (probably) unintentional TDKR throughline with Phoenix's Joker, e.g., the talk show sequence in the first, the white suit in this one.
