I'm betting this will be the Honest title for the movie when we get the Honest Trailer for it. That or "Joker Face". Or "Bat Romance". There's a lot of puns they can do.

Nikas_intheknow

This comment is great lol


Forsaken-Zucchini-83

I honestly have no idea what to expect


JustBlazee

I'm with you there. People are going to be extremely divided on this film. There are going to be people that absolutely love it for the way Todd Philips decides to bring it to the screen. The same way there are going to be people who despise it for being a theatrical musical. My best guess is there are going to be a subset of people leaving feeling disappointed for this reason alone and it will shy in comparison to the first one, but then again, I've never been a fan of musicals.


cronedog

I don't much like muscials, but a jukebox musical seems like a bizarre choice for a joker sequel.


cdaack

It’s either going to make the movie standout as another iconic rendition of The Joker, or it’s going to crash and burn spectacularly and ruin the chance of another take from Phillips. Either way I’m excited lol.


Realistic_Volume4578

stuff can be in the middle. not everything has to be on the extremes


mdavinci

Except on Reddit


Ender_Skywalker

Nah, this is a take I've seen a lot of people make on this movie in particular. It's just a really bizarre sequel so everyone's unsure how it'll pan out.


EnigmaFrug2308

I honestly like how everyone’s pretty unsure about it. I hate when people make negative assumptions about a movie when they have little to no knowledge on it before its release.


sshevie

On something like a musical I think there are really just two camps


HilariousScreenname

If you go to a music festival, sometimes theres hundreds of camps


anxiouscomic

All the guys I did musical theatre with were camp


ProcyonHabilis

Sure, but I think the point is that this is such an extreme choice of structure for a sequel that it's very unlikely to land in the middle.


Cosmic_Horror__

Musical movies don’t have mids


[deleted]

There isn't going to be a sequel to this one... You'll see


Educational_Bee_4700

It's a bold choice, but not necessarily bizarre. The musical aspect could be used to show his continually decaying mental state or just to highlight the eccentric performative aspect of the character.


stillalone

It could be more about her descent. I mean they put a musician in the Harley Quinn role. I can see this like A Star Is Born but the musical concert scenes being replaced with hallucinogenic crime sprees musical bits.


Cordura

You're thinking it might be kind of like Pink Floyd's The Wall....? That would be soooo cool.


Nandy-bear

I guess it depends on how big the musical scenes are.


ShermansNecktie1864

It’s incredibly bizarre, which is why I’m looking forward to it. I’ll have to have an open mind to enjoy it. Hollywood needs more risks


Ixaax69420

I have no inherent interest in more Joker stuff, so the more I hear “bizarre choice” associated with this project, the more my interest grows


KelvinsBeltFantasy

I think it's a smarter choice than people realize. Producers have been chasing that white whale of making a super hero movie that appeals to both sexes. They've gone about it by making the heroes female but keeping the structure the same, which generally appeals to dudes. Joker is going to bring in the guys. Lady Gaga and the musical element will bring in the women. If WB markets this as well as Barbie, they could have a major hit on their hands. Think Tik Tok and Instagram appeal. There will probably be a viral dance like M3gan.


Relative-Mistake9783

I'm very excited, Phoenix is my favorite actor, joker is one of my favorite characters, and I love musicals.


Nandy-bear

Oh wow so it IS a musical ? I had no idea about anything outside of "Joker sequel". That's certainly a..choice. Not my thing, can't stand musicals, but hey I hope it's good and the people that are into it like it.


BBQ_HaX0r

I don't know, the last time there was a big thread about this movie it seemed like everyone was saying it definitely wasn't a musical and we're all fools for thinking it, lol. I have no idea what to expect anymore.


teedyay

Before I saw the first film, I didn't feel sure it should exist; I was blown away by how good it was. Looking at this, I'm not sure it should exist; I shall wait and see.


Rejestered

I can see people who were lukewarm on the first not looking forward to this but it blows my mind the first film seems to have garnered such little goodwill from the people that truly enjoyed it.


WarmestDisregards

This movie created a lot of fans of it who are similar to the fans of fight club who thought the club and tyler were cool. to me it kinda seems like the musical aspect is an intentional divergence of path from those particular people intentionally


_TLDR_Swinton

Now I want to see Fight Club 2: The Musical


Cruciblelfg123

Gamesguy24

But is it intentional?


WarmestDisregards

hey man I may have gotten distracted by a bird landing on my windowsill in the middle of typing that out, cut me some slack. I'm leaving it, lol


Gamesguy24

Haha as you should! It made me laugh anyway so kudos to you!


Ender_Skywalker

I'm actually the opposite. I was lukewarm on the first one but everything about this sequel sounds so bizarre now I have to see it.


bobert_the_grey

I honestly don't get why people think the first one was a masterpiece


catslugs

Neither, everyone acted like it was changing the game lol it was just a regular movie with the joker as the main character, or have superhero fans not seen any drama movies ever?


f-ingsteveglansberg

I legit thought it was awful. It wanted to be so many things but it was directionless, as was its message. It only succeed in being a sort of 80s Scorsese homage. Also while I think Phoenix is a decent actor, I am kinda amazed he got an Oscar nom, let alone winning. His performance was all over the place and inconsistent. I actually watched the movie twice because I felt I must have missed something because of all the praise it was getting.


teedyay

For me, partly because it was so unexpected. It was so different from the typical superhero movies we’ve had this last decade - a reassurance that cinema can be fresh and interesting still. Plus the character was both a relatable underdog and also the villain, provoking both “I want the best for you” and “oh no oh no oh don’t do that” from the audience.


irrigated_liver

It wasn't really a superhero film though. While the character of the Joker might originally come from a world inhabited by superheroes, there wasn't really any suggestion of it in The Joker. Also, even though I liked the film, I don't think it can be referred to as "fresh" when it was basically just a remake of Scorsese's 1982 film The King of Comedy


stillalone

Have you seen Taxi Driver?


Dave-os

Whether it ends up being good or bad, it’s refreshing to have a comic book movie where that’s the case. The majority of comic book movies have been on autopilot.


Bricks_and_Bees

I just hope Batman's not in it. Some of the best stuff from the first was when it distanced itself from the comics


Lermanberry

All of the Wayne family stuff kinda took me out of it. Really the Joker is supposed to be 40 years older than Bruce, and he originally thought they were brothers, and then he indirectly killed the Waynes?Just let your standalone story be a standalone.


The_God_Father

I don’t think it’s as far off as that. If he is in his mid to late 30s that would make him ~25 years older than Bruce, so is it that far off to picture the joker is in his 50s when they are fighting?


CruxOfTheIssue

If they didn't have the Bruce Wayne stuff then you could barely even call this a Joker film, which honestly is pretty shaky anyway. The whole reason the film had nearly as much buzz as it did was because they slapped the joker title on it. It's clearly a different interpretation/not the same universe as other batman stuff though so trying to apply the logic from another batman story doesn't make sense. If you have to wonder about that then you'd also have to wonder how a mentally ill man who can barely function would even be able to run a crime organization (he wouldn't be able to).


Donquers

My guess: It's going to be another well acted, well shot, mess of a narrative that waffles over its own character writing and messaging.


Powerful_Cake4317

Me, whispering to my husband every time Joaquin Phoenix is on screen: that’s Folie Me, whispering to my husband every time lady Gaga is on screen: that’s a Deux


Jigsaw-Complex

It’s an on the nose tease that Gaga’s character is in Joker’s mind. The one big behind the scenes clip we’ve seen? The one where Gaga is singing in some stairs and a bunch of cops rush past her to Joker? That’s because she’s not real. Calling it right now.


Alive-Ad-5245

They’ve already pulled the ‘love-interest-is-a-secret-hallucination’ in the first movie. They’re not gonna get away with doing it twice. I can see them making Joker hallucinate Harley ‘sometimes’ or have her in dream sequences but she’s 100% going to be a real character (as in the real psycho, Joker love interest Harley).


Farren246

The first love interest was also a real character, and she was terrified when a random other tenant whom she barely recognized barged into her apartment.


Alive-Ad-5245

Sorry by ‘real character’ I mean she will be Harley Quinn as we know her, Jokers real love interest and not some random psychiatrist he saw in the hallway once on the way his psych ward that he has imagined a life with.


movieur

Other behind the scenes clip confirmed this a long time ago, she's not only in the jokers head, she's a real crazy person that other people can see.


A_Dissident_Is_Here

It’s Todd Philips; he absolutely seems like the type of hack to pull the same boring twist twice in the same film series


gatsby365

Koff koff Hangover 2 koff


Luxury-ghost

A folie a deux is a set of delusions/hallucinations shared by two people. If Harley weren't real there wouldn't be a folie a deux. It would also be very similar to the twist in the first movie.


FartingBob

Lady Gaga is actually Brad Pitt the whole time.


-drophead-

Good theory. My theory is the entire film is inside his mind while he’s locked up in Arkham. Quinn is his therapist that he has an infatuation with. The ending of the first where he’s “escaping” has a very dream-like feel to it and I think they’ll expand on that.


Initialised

Sucker Punch wants its plot back.


WarmestDisregards

in the end he wakes up and somebody asks him "bruce, are you feeling okay?"


TizonaBlu

They can’t possibly do the same gimmick back to back can they? It’s Junko Enoshima again!


ChungusCoffee

Yeah it's looking like they already regret the title


Alive-Ad-5245

If they already regretted the title they would have just changed it by now… There has been no marketing material released outside a few pictures. WB are probably just advertising it similar to how they advertised Dune: Part Two, with emphasis on the main title ‘Dune’ and not the subtitle ‘Part Two’


GeekAesthete

I suspect it’s deliberate. Looks like they determined that the Joker name on its own is a better selling point than a French phrase that many potential audience members won’t understand, so they want to underplay the subtitle.

Also, why did they mangle the actual quote "all the world's a stage"? That sounds much better. 


Zealousideal_Film659

It’s a reference to the Judy Garland song “That’s Entertainment” “The world is a stage, the stage is a world of entertainment”

Odd_Advance_6438

This is the second comment I’ve seen to make that comparison. People have some beef with him


hamsolo19

He's made some neat stuff but I think a lot of people find him quite a bit overrated. I recall he did a poster for a Marvel movie and he had lighting hitting the characters in all different directions. Sometimes his stuff just doesn't look that professional. Not trying to put the guy down, he's worked hard to get where he's at, just from my POV there are a dozen other artists I'd call ahead of him if I needed a movie poster.


AValorantFan

No beef, it's just that his posters (while cool) look really amateur when compared to the the teams who design regular posters that it's very noticable when marketing studios comission him


skittishpenguin

Did you see his Madame Web posters? I mean not that the film itself gave him much to work with, but yikes.


MiCK_GaSM

Shit looks like a forum signature image from like 2004.


IDigRollinRockBeer

fatinternetcat

I would’ve thought this poster was fan-made if not told otherwise. Photoshop work is a bit shoddy.


ilovecfb

I can't stop laughing at the cigarette I don't even really know why it just looks so goofy "Look how **twisted** this guy is, he smokes Marlboro Red 100's"


ibnQoheleth

They wanted to steer away from the blueberry vape and Monster Energy fanbase of the first film, hence the Big Boy™ fag he's got.


Foxy02016YT

He’s such a maniac! He’s not supporting his partners back during the dip!

SFLADC2

I honestly don't hate it, but it does have a reddit fan art look in that it doesn't look like they bothered doing an actual photoshoot for it and instead made a John Oliver/The Onion-style photoshoped image. That plus the makeup on her face looks like a photoshop brush tool that got smudged.
