I didn't think Joker needed a sequel, but this looks done right.

Early viewers who spoil whether Harley is imaginary or not need to be drug out into the street and shot, of course.

I'm glad it doesn't give away the whole plot like some of the older movie trailers do, so at least there's that to look forward to. Not sure if it'll match the heights of the first movie since that's a tall order, but it's definitely something I'm interested in than more MCU drivel.

It has my interest. First was pretty left field, so hoping for more of the same. That there’s been a decent period between movies leaves me hopeful that was room to have a good enough story to justify.

I can't say I loved the first but I'm certainly curious to see this one eventually.

The first movie did nothing for me and I lost interest halfway through the trailer for this one. I foresee Joker: Pardon My French to get overwhelmingly positive critical responses. Maybe some Oscars, too.

I'm not sure. I'm 50/50 or less about the first one. I found it difficult to watch. I find myself a little interested to see where this one goes.

Yea of course it's difficult to watch, it's a psychological drama.

It is known.

More seriously it also had to do with where I was in my own head at the time. I've watched it one and a half times and meh. I heard it was good or well received in the so called "Man o sphere" and all the accompanying whys and what have yous. It wasn't to my tastes because it was just watching a person suffer and have a breakdown. It wasn't bad just unpleasant. I was already going through my own stuff an didn't care for the compound interest, if you will.

I was surprised that I would find any interest at all from the trailer for the second movie. It looks a lot less bleak, we'll see.

I wonder what the naysayers will come up with for this movie. The first one was labeled as racist, pro SA, pro incel, pro right-wing violence, pro child diddling. not that any of it was true, but there seemed to be a concerted effort by some to see it fail.

Basically when I heard the first one was wowed at Cannes, I thought "Huh- so it's artsy?".

I hate it when I'm right..
Thing I wonder is that Phoenix Joker and Cedric Diggory Batman are in same universe? In the first, Thomas Wayne had political aspirations, and the former Riddler went after him because his Dad was a Mayoral candidate.. Hmm HMM?

There's a very different Joker in The Batman. They could go with a 3 Jokers angle but the first Joker movie was a big part of WB going back to the siloed project plan so I doubt it.

I have a hard time understanding how a sequel comes from the first one.
