We’re three weeks away from Joker: Folie à Deux and the romance between DC’s favorite psychopaths is finally highlighted in a brand-new clip. In an exclusive clip from Entertainment Weekly, Lady Gaga’s Harleen “Lee” Quinzel (Harley Quinn) passionately kisses Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck/Joker and tells him how he’s inspiring the world on the outside of his jail cell.
“I’m so f—ing proud of you. You should see it out there,” she says. “They’re all going crazy for you. You did it.” Harleen pauses before telling him how powerful and inspirational he is. “You can do anything you want. You’re Joker.”
Arthur responds by joking he should read “a law book or something”, then mockingly holding his tie like a noose, as he seemingly knows his fate from the murder trial.
The Joker sequel chronicles the rise of the character becoming an icon and almost patron saint of social outcasts after he ends up in Arkham Asylum. The movie’s trailers so far have shown the budding companionship of Arthur and Lee, as they let chaos reign in the city while giving Gotham City the old razzle dazzle with musical numbers. They’ve also shown the grip Fleck has on Gotham’s citizens who feel disenfranchised by the rest of the world.
Joker: Folie à Deux also stars Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, and Steve Coogan arrives in theaters on October 4. The Joker sequel will also be shown at IMAX screenings as well as traditional theaters.
