I think the idea of the sequel being a Musical is very inspired to say the least.
When you look at the relationship between Joker and Harley,
It's a perfect fit for that genre.

My major concern?
Who will be the Composer/Songwriter.
You need someone who could get to the crux of the Joker/Harley relationship with song.
Lady GaGa is going to have to watch a lot of "BATMAN" THE ANIMATED SERIES".
And do some MAJOR Comic Book reading/research.
Provided she's picked for writing lyrics.

But I have this weird feeling that if this casting choice follows through,
GaGa may even end up being the film's Composer.
Sort of like Prince with the Tim Burton "BATMAN" film.

Well if you look at the world thru their eyes...shit would break out into song... :giggle:

The use of the musical genre would better illustrate their psychosis and it was kind of hinted at in Joker when Fleck killed those wallstreet douches and hid in the restroom and started moving in a dance like ballerina fashion...that signified the emergence of the Joker persona. And when we see Joker full on he's doing a dance on the steps of his neighborhood and he does a dance step on the talk show.

Its also consistent because theres always been a kind of flighty music tinged element to how the Joker's been portrayed at various time whether live action or animated. Same with Harley. Everyone's been so busy trying to get grittier and grittier with the character that they forgot the sheer loonyness of him.

Catherine Keener to do the Batdance with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga in Joker musical sequel

The Oscar-nominee will play an undisclosed role in Joker: Folie à Deux, the musical sequel to Todd Phillips' 2019 hit film.

The musical nobody asked for is quickly becoming the must-see film of 2024.

Catherine Keener, noted MVP of many a film and occasional TV project, has joined the cast of Joker: Folie à Deux, EW has confirmed.
The sequel to Todd Phillip's 2019 controversial blockbuster, which brought star Joaquin Phoenix a long overdue Oscar, will be a musical reuniting Phoenix, Phillips, and his co-screenwriter Scott Silver.
Catherine Keener has joined the cast of 'Joker: Folie à Deux' in an undisclosed role


Also along for the ride is Lady Gaga as the Harley Quinn to Phoenix's titular Clown Prince of Crime. Folie à Deux will reportedly be set in Arkham Asylum, the notorious super-jail housing Gotham's criminal elite in the Batman universe. It's unclear who Keener will be playing, though sources claim it is a "major role."

Hmmm, a major female role in a Batman-related movie set in a prison for villains ... sounds like we've got at least two options to consider: Catwoman or Poison Ivy. Catherine Keener would be great as either. But in all fairness, Catherine Keener would be great just reading a telephone book.

Zazie Beets, crossing over from one adjacent-superhero cinematic universe to another, and Brendan Gleeson, who's currently stirring up Oscar buzz himself for The Banshees of Inisherin have also joined the cast of the Joker sequel.

I enjoyed the first flick.

It was a deep character study of the Joker that needed to be done being he is one of the most complex characters in comic book history.

Looking forward to this sequel.

It REALLY fell flat in the 3rd act and wasn't that deep but go off.
