Well shucks, looks like we're heading down Joker Lane again with old Toddy P.

Joker: Folie á Deux (Madness for Two)

Folie à deux ('folly of two', or 'madness [shared] by two'), also known as shared psychosis[2] or shared delusional disorder (SDD), is a psychiatric syndrome in which symptoms of a delusional belief, and sometimes hallucinations,[3][4] are transmitted from one individual to another

Moment of silence for my boy Joaquin who's gonna break himself down mentally and probably starve himself again to get into the headspace for this role a second time.

 

[FunkMiller]

Madness shared by two.

Gonna be Batman, innit?

Should be, anyway.

Ah, they’ll probably just do Harley.

Are the press going to run with the incel shooter propaganda again this time?

After remaking The King of Comedy for the first one, along with hiring Scorcese and Deniro... Which existing film are they going to use as a blueprint for the sequel? Terry Gilliam's Brazil? Black Swan using Perfect Blue as a reference?

 

[bitbydeath]

Good, this and the new Suicide Squad are the only good things DC have going right now.

*Maybe Shazam as well, although that family direction at the end was kinda shitty.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Joker vs joker please

 

[IFireflyl]

Joaquin Phoenix nailed the character. I can't compare him to Heath Ledger because I feel like they were both iconic in completely different ways. Easily my two favorite Jokers (not disrespect to Nicholson or Hamill of course).

 

[Pagusas]

who’s ready for a full multiverse plot of Joaquin, Nicholson, CG Ledger, Hamill and Ceaser all traveling together through time and space to save the DC world from strait white male Warner Execs.

 

[BadBurger]

Maybe William Dafoe wasn't just spitballin' when he was discussing a Joker sequel with two Jokers.

 

[Jennings]

This might be Joaquin's first sequel.

first one made I think like over a billion dollars worldwide it was r-rated too

 

[Scotty W]

It’s going to be Harley Quinn with that unwatchable from Wolf of Wall Street

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I really want to see this movie. Is it up on any streaming service at all to watch for free without ads?

I think they need to make it first.

I think they need to make it first.

Sorry I meant the original movie. I never saw the first movie and was wondering if it's on any streaming service right now?

I believe it’s still on HBO Max

 

[The Skull]

Noice. First one was refreshing in a sea of copy cat comic book films.

 

[strange headache]

The first Joker was, as a social study of the illness of modern society, is such a perfectly fine movie by itself, it doesn't really need a sequel.
The subtitle "folie à deux" implies that the story will center around Joker meeting Harley Quinn, which already makes me a whole lot less interested in this sequel.

I hope to be proven wrong though and I'll probably watch this movie because of Joaquin alone. He really nailed the character in the first movie, but introducing a screwed up love story will only water it down .

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Stories that didn't "need" a sequel include:

- Alien (1979)
- Terminator
- Amazing Fantasy #15

Good stories don't need sequels. The appeal is getting to see a new story centered around a universe or character you enjoy. Seems like people forget this when it comes to movies they just generally dislike.

A Joker movie without Batman is ok, once. I don't need or desire to have more of that. And since there is no current live action Batman that can be force feed into this narrative, I say make another Batman and never tell the audience who is playing him. I don't need any Bruce Wayne screen time or Wayne Manor. Don't need Alfred or Robin or even the Batmobile.
Batman needs to be in this with some significant screen time.


Even if the Batman that is chasing him throughout the movie is a construct of the Joker's own psychosis.

damn, that would be phenominal

 

[IntentionalPun]

Probably Harley Quinn... like almost certainly from that description.. she is his psychiatrist who then goes crazy from his manipulation isn't she? Hopefully a new actress though.

 

[dr_octagon]

I look forward to seeing Murrrrayyy again.

 

[Hugare]

The subtitle is genius.

Not only its a reference to a real life mental disorder, but it also sounds cool as hell and fits the theme of the movie

I'm hoping for another Joker or grown up Batman.

Harley would be meh
