The Joker 2 trailer has already got DC fans talking, but there’s one theory floating around about Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn that beats all others.
From the beginning,Joker 2(aka Joker: Folie à Deux) has caused quite a stir. From itsmusical twistto the casting of Gaga in the first place, fans are split between loving the idea of theupcoming DC movieand feeling a little uncertain about it all.
As such, there are already a lot of ideas floating around, especially with the release of the trailer. One such theory involves Harley Quinn having a more powerful role in Arthur’s life, and perhaps being the one to bring him back into his Joker mindset.
“Anyone else get the feeling thatThe Joker/Harley relationship is going to be an inverse of their comic portrayal?”one fanon Reddit asked. “I’m thinking Arthur is trying not to relapse back into his Joker persona but Harley is the one influencing him more to embrace it.”
“That’s an interesting angle — could even play into the comic portrayal too. Once Arthur is the fully-fledged Joker, he’s terrifying to Harley,” another agreed.
“I’m fully on board,” said a third. “Harley is a villain for a reason and I hope the film explores that.”
One wrote: “Exactly what I thought. That final scene of her making him the Joker with the lipstick on the window and his smile at satisfying her? Powerful moment.”
