Joker 2019 really worked as a more serious and dark origin story about Joker, and Joaquin Phoenix was fantastic. Going by the trailer, Lady Gaga’s version of Harley Quinn probably won’t be too over the top, but you can already see signs of loyalty to Mr. J. It looks like we’ll finally get a more fleshed out version of Joker and Harley Quinn’s relationship in a live action film, especially if we’re comparing Folie A Deux to Jared Leto and Margot Robbie’s limited interactions.
I’m also wondering how much of everything we’re shown throughout the trailer is actually happening. Arthur daydreaming and imagining scenarios was a frequent occurrence in the 2019 film, including his relationship with Zazie Beetz and a joyous appearance on Murray Franklin’s show.
However things play out, I’m glad they’re keeping Phoenix’s Joker in his own world for now. Introducing Batman would brings tons of hype and anticipation, but it’s not necessary. Tod Phillips and Phoenix have proven they’re more than capable of operating in a universe, that can firmly stand on its own two legs without The Caped Crusader.
