Harley Quinn’s Origin And Role In “Folie à deux”
In comic book lore, Harley Quinn starts as the Joker’s psychiatrist, eventually succumbing to his manipulative charm and joining him in his chaotic endeavors. However, rumors suggest that this iteration of the character in “Folie à deux” may depict her as a fellow patient at Arkham Asylum rather than his doctor.
“Folie à deux” And The DC Universe
The Joker sequel will not be a part of the main DC Universe continuity. Instead, it will be considered an “Elseworlds” project, similar to Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” movies, J.J. Abrams’ upcoming Superman film, and the potential “Constantine 2.” “Elseworlds” stories typically explore alternative timelines or universes within the DC Comics multiverse, allowing for creative freedom and unique interpretations of iconic characters.
Plot Details And Setting
Although specific plot details remain mostly undisclosed, it is known that a significant portion of “Folie à deux” will take place within the confines of Arkham Asylum. Additionally, the film is expected to feature musical numbers, which should come as no surprise given Lady Gaga’s illustrious background in music.
Fans eagerly await the release of the Joker sequel and anticipate seeing Lady Gaga’s performance as the captivating and unpredictable Harley Quinn.
