Lady Gaga has appeared and given us all a better idea of what her version of Harley Quinn is going to look like in the new Joker film. Todd Phillips’s follow-up to his hit film is titled Joker: Folie à Deux.
The photos reveal Quinn descending some stairs outside of what looks like either Gotham’s courthouse or Gotham’s police station. Most importantly one of the photos reveals Quinn in full costume. The costume is very reminiscent of her comics costume.
The film continues Arthur Fleck’s descent into his identity as the Clown Prince of Crime. Although it is still confusing to see how this Joker will fit into the world of Batman considering this is so far off from the time that Bruce Wayne is active as Batman. It was once believed that this Joker was the spark that would ignite the Joker that Batman famously faces off with but, that can’t be the case now. Harley Quinn exists on this timeline now as well. That doesn’t make sense.
The synopsis for Joker went like this:
Forever alone in a crowd, failed comedian Arthur Fleck seeks connection as he walks the streets of Gotham City. Arthur wears two masks — the one he paints for his day job as a clown, and the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel like he’s part of the world around him. Isolated, bullied and disregarded by society, Fleck begins a slow descent into madness as he transforms into the criminal mastermind known as the Joker.
The Joker returns to theaters beginning October 4, 2024.
