Joker: Folie à Deux

The world is a stage.

RELEASED 1 Oct 20242h 18m★ 5.4 TMDB

While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur Fleck not only stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that's always been inside him.

Why it matters in DC

This continuation follows Arthur Fleck's divided identity through a relationship and a story that brings music into his inner life. Its direct connection is to Joker, so it belongs with that film's separate interpretation of Gotham rather than a general Batman chronology.
