I love the zealous nature of them making the sequel a musical and hope it performs well

Joker 1 was Todd Phillips' love letter to Scorsese in a DCU wrapper. This is going to be him paying homage to other films

The average nerd is too dumb to understand. It's exactly why they panned Last Jedi

...you were making such a good point then had to go in ruin it with an extremely bad comparison to Last Jedi... whyyyyy. I'm sorry, but I will fully derail a thread to stop any praise of that shit from happening, its bad film making and should never ever be in the same breath as Scorsese.

If we want more movies starring a psychotic Joker, this is the way to go. Every entry could be a new psychosis.

Ohh imagine the final one being a Bollywood film

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm pretty optimistic about this. Harley even has that exaggerated New York style accent that Gaga can do. It's pretty much perfect casting, and they're actually going to try something new.

Phoenix is a good singer as well by the way, in case you never saw the Johnny Cash movie.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

that sillouette of her in the teaser leads me to think shes going to be styled out of date. looks kinda victorian or like 1800s wild west.

im pretty optimistic tbh. I like both performers. its being billed as a musical, but i think its going to be smartly done....essentially they will be killing, thieving, torching, causing mayhem while singing and dancing through it all in pure anarchy and chaos. with maybe 1-2 songs of tender depression and romance

 

[Tokio Blues]

It will be good guys. Relax bros.

You like the Packers
I like Last Jedi

We can't all be winners

i'm not really into musicals but this sounds interesting. i want to see how they do it. and of course if lady gaga is in it then i'm watching it.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I'm not a huge fan of musicals although I consider Blues Brothers the greatest musical of all time.

I'm not a huge fan of the Joker movie. I thought it was a great performance in a ok film.

I have no thoughts on Gaga as an actress, I've never seen her in anything but the girl has some pipes and can sing her ass off so in a musical I guess that is something.

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.

Musical.................im out

 

[Kimahri]

I'm in for musical, but why did it have to be Gaga?

 

[Rest]

Did they have to CG out her dick bulge?

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Hearing it's a musical means not Watching it. I haven't liked a musical since The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins

Grease? Rocky horror?

Grease was good

But nope most musicials aren't my thing

Can appreciate that.

Repo: The Genetic Opera was so good.


The recently deceased Paul Sorvino had a role as Rotti Largo.


See your knife.
See it glide.
See it slice!
Who's your Night Surgeon?

A little inspiration from this movie in Joker 2 would be welcome.

 

[Uhtred]

I’ll never watch this shit. I hate musicals.

Still not interested in seeing Joker 2 due to it being a musical

 

[Midnight Bliss]

Why wait till 2024 when ezra miller is playing out the role of joker in real time

 

[Kabelly]

first one was mid anyways

this is just gonna be a skip

 

[Kev Kev]

Every time I see this I’m just like

 

[RAÏSanÏa]

Joker with a Lady Marmalade scene for a rogues gallery would be perfection.

 

[MaestroMike]

 

[GymWolf]

I fucking hate musicals so i hope this is just trolling.

 

[EverydayBeast]

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

I fucking hate musicals so i hope this is just trolling.

I also hate Lady Gaga so it's a losing situation all around, and a shame after the first film

 

[Superkewl]

I know, I wish Hollywood would stop trying to make her a thing.

Loved the first Joker, but this one is already a hard pass from everything we have heard so far.

 

[RAÏSanÏa]

ooh la la

 

[FunkMiller]

This will probably make annoyingly large amounts of money off people who like Lalaland, and comic book fans who will desperately pretend they like musicals for two hours.

 

[Hugare]

This woman overacts so much

I have zero hope for this movie

 

[Toots]

I've never seen gaga act but she cannot be so bad that she spoils a Todd Philips x Joaquin Phoenix movie.

Calm down with the musicalphobia guys, it's gonna be worth the watch for sure whatever genre it is.

It'll be better than the 1st movie, easily, if it manages to capitalize on half the potential.

Has anyone here even listened to how Harley Quinn talks in the cartoon? It's over the top and almost musical. What must the world look like from inside her demented mind? Someone with a psycho smile and permanent happiness. She could easily see the world in a musical hallucination, even when it's dark and violent, everyone would be singing their dialogue. It's got potential to be a genius move.

 

[Rentahamster]

Just a reminder that the South Park movie is a musical.

Agreed. The first joker film was his downfall as it dealt with mental trauma. He hallucinate the whole time
. Or does he?
People might hate it for ladygaga, news to you though, you missed the point of the film

 

[Ionian]

Typos, posting on my crappy phone is painful.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

The haters are trippin' big time just because they hear "musical" and shut their brains down. This is the absolute perfect casting to pull something like this off.

I have more confidence in this movie being great than any other "superhero" movie announced right now across DC or Marvel.

Might be a good thing for someone that's crazy no?

I was surprised to learn the director for Joker already worked with Gaga on some other movie.

 

[UnNamed]

Lady Gaga is like Jared Leto, if you find a good director to direct, and limit them, they will show their full potential like in A Star is Born and BR 2049.
Give them total freedom and this will lead to that clusterfuck called Gucci movie

 

[RAÏSanÏa]

With the funding and oversight of Arkham, a musical as a form of therapy for Joker that leaves the stage for the street sounds about right. Oscar potential.
