“#Joker 2 Has DC Fans Asking, ‘Is a Sequel Really Necessary?’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nJoker 2<\/em> is happ<\/a>ening at Warner Bros., and the news<\/a> has many DC fans asking if a sequel to the Oscar-winning movie is really necessary, which is perhaps not quite the reaction the studio was hoping to hear. On Thursday, it was reported at THR that Joker<\/em> co-writer\/director Todd Phillips had signed a deal to co-write the next Joker “installment” for Warner Bros., but no additional information was given. It’s not a tremendous shocker, given the exorbitant amounts of money made by the original, but it’s having a mixed response with DC fans.<\/p>\n

“Should’ve capitalized on the success of the first, and done a different villain,” tweeted one disappointed fan. “Would’ve been way more hype, and not all of us agreeing that we don’t need a Joker 2<\/em><\/strong>.”

“We really don’t need a Joker 2<\/em> movie especially when there’s so many other batman villains who can hold their own movie like Scarecrow? Mr Freeze? Clayface? Killer croc? Etc? Give another character a shot,” adds another fan.<\/p>\n

Also feeling other supervillains in Batman’s Rogues Gallery still need their stories told, another fan said, “Gotham mob families crime drama; Poison Ivy eco-terrorist thriller; Lady Shiva martial arts underworld action epic — the creative possibilities are endless. What did we get? Joker 2<\/em>.”

“Why do we need Joker 2<\/em>?” another person asks. “One was fine. Other than introducing Harley Quinn or Batman, I can’t see what else they could do.”<\/p>\n

Even though many are concerned about Joker 2<\/em> potentially devaluing the original, most everyone also seems to agree that they’ll still pay to watch the sequel regardless. Posting an image of a clown using the computer, one person said, “Me tweeting we don’t need a Joker 2<\/em> knowing full well I’ll go see it.”<\/p>\n

“There doesn’t need to be one. I really liked The Joker as a standalone. (BUT I’d absolutely watch Joker 2),” says someone else.<\/p>\n

Because Joker<\/em> was not a traditional comic book adaptation, it does not lend itself to a sequel as well as most other DC or Marvel movies<\/a>. On its own, the movie works perfectly as a standalone story with no connections to any other movies or even the need to tease a sequel at the end. It’s also worth pointing out that Bruce Wayne is still a young boy in the Joker<\/em> continuity, so a Batman vs. Joker confrontation couldn’t happen unless they move the story ahead several years and also depict Arthur Fleck as a much older man.<\/p>\n

Even so, the possibility of a sequel always seemed likely, given the immense success of Joker<\/em>. The smash blockbuster hit, which won Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar for Best Actor, pulled in more than $1 billion at the box office with a budget of less than $70 million. Todd Phillips has always been rather coy when it comes to discussing the potentiality of Joker 2<\/em>, but maybe all it took was the right story idea… or just the right amount of zeroes on the check given to him by Warner Bros.<\/p>\n

In any case, there’s no release date set for Joker 2<\/em>. You can see what many other fans are saying about the rumored sequel on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Joker 2 is probably going to be bad now that they assume it\u2019s popular and can do whatever they want with it, I am still open to being surprised though<\/p>\n

I’m really nervous for Joker 2. The first one was favorite movie of 2019 so I hope this one’s good too. I’m definitely going to watch it though. I was hoping for more origin stories for different DC villains instead. #Joker2<\/a><\/p>\n
