I Can’t Believe Joker 2"s Harley Quinn Is Actually A Totally Different DC Villain

Summary

• Lady Gaga debuts as Harley Quinn in Joker sequel, but her version seems more like Punchline, a darker DC character.
• The Joker sequel is due out on Oct 4, 2024, 5 years after Joker hit $1 billion.
• Todd Phillips' creative liberty in the Elseworlds movies means the changes that appear to have been made to the film's Harley Quinn do make sense.

Joker sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, will debut Lady Gaga as the popular DC villain Harley Quinn, but she looks like another DC character entirely. The Joker: Folie à Deux movie is due to be released on October 4, 2024, exactly 5 years after Joker made a splash as an R-rated DC Elseworlds release that ended up grossing over $1 billion worldwide, becoming the first R-rated movie in history to break that threshold. Todd Phillips and DC Studios are no doubt hoping to replicate this success with the sequel, which has the added benefit of Gaga's star power.
As a DC Elseworlds movie - which is a DC production that falls outside the upcoming DC Universe continuity - Phillips is at liberty to wield ample creative license. Naming the titular villain Arthur Fleck is one example of this, while the trend will continue with Harley Quinn swapping Harleen Quinzel for the much simpler "Lee." The more I hear about Gaga's characterization of Lee, however, the more it becomes apparent that she barely resembles Harley Quinn at all, and instead bears a much closer resemblance to another DC character.
