Yep that is exactly what this movie was.

By copying Fight Club.

Batman, perhaps. And there are lots to choose from. The Joker in Gotham was well done and he didn't really have a nemesis other than other criminals. Granted, I didn't make it through most of the series before boring out.

There's a whole lot to explore there, IMO.

I thought Phoenix’s performance was one of the best ever.

Just do a Fight Club but the alter ego wins.

Same here. In fact it was perfectly timed. It was a film about what was going on in real life but didn't spoon feed you what to think. It spoke directly to the political polarization happening right now.

Don't like orange man and his policies? Boy, that pappy Wayne remind you of anyone?

Don't like angry and mindless mobs running through the streets setting the world on fire because they're fed up and don't get what they want? Boy, that remind you of anything?

The point of the first one isn't that some bad guy overlord is making things bad. The point is that when hard times happen and people don't have good role models or don't have something to believe in THEY become villains...

It fits, she's always looked a bit like the Joker.

The Joker as a musical? Seems like a weird choice.

GaGa was really good in the Bradly Cooper movie. Way above my expectations. So maybe they can pull it off. Most musicals these days fail so they must have some good songs ready to go?

WTF? **** YOU!

A MUSICAL???

Kick rocks with that shit.

I'm not buying the musical shit.

That would be ****ing terrible.

But Lady Gaga is a damn good actress, and she would probably kill that role (even if she's not Margot Robbie).

Making the Joker sequel a musical starring Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn is the most idiotic idea I've heard of in a long long time.

This movie didn’t need a sequel whatsoever, so I’m glad they are doing something different with it if they had to do anything at all.

Phoenix did all the songs in that Johnny Cash biopic a few decades ago as I recall, I have no doubt he can pull it off.

Musicals are a waste if time

No way that gets a greenlight as a musical...
