The DC Universe is currently preparing for the release of
Joker: Folie à Deux, but May 1, 2024, will be a bad day for its marketing campaign thanks to one very questionable decision. The DC Universe continues expanding, as do other parallel branches, such as the universe where Todd Phillips’
Joker lives. In 2019, Phillips brought a new, different take on the Clown Prince of Crime in Joker, which, instead of being a superhero movie, was a psychological thriller following the origin of the man that would become the anarchic iconic known as “Joker”.
Joker introduced the audience to Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a clown and aspiring stand-up comedian with a neurological disorder that causes him to have random, uncontrollable laughing fits. When the system fails him and others who depend on medication, and he confronts the wealthy, Arthur descends into mental illness and becomes the trigger and image of a violent revolution against the wealthy in Gotham City. Now, a sequel, titled Joker: Folie à Deux is coming in October 2024, but May 1 is about to be a bump on its road due to a strange decision.
