After the premiere of The Batman, all the options that Joker 2 had have been vaporized. For what reason? We explain it here!
The surprise appearance of Barry Keoghan As the Clown Prince of Crime on batman has caused that Joker 2 becomes more unnecessary than it already seemed at first. This has been explained on the website of ScreenRant. The new movie of Bat Man it is an absolute reboot of the “Batverse”. Offers a new view of Gotham without the need to recover pre-established concepts. Director Matt Reeves I avoid showing the murder of the parents of BruceWaynethe first nights out of the billionaire and the first meeting of the Dark Knight with his greatest nemesis. However, these stories influence the future of the character of Robert Pattinson. batman introduced Barry Keoghan and may employ him in any planned sequels or spin-offs. That makes Joker 2 miss out on a lot of options.
As with the Reeves film, the film by joaquin phoenix it is a lonely and autonomous story. It is not part of the so-called DC Extended Universe. However, unlike batman leaves no loose threads in the plot to resolve them in Joker 2. Except for the opportunity to see Phoenix again eating the performance as Arthur Fleck, there really is no need to see a sequel. Robert Pattinson’s film reinforces this idea by planting the seeds of a franchise in which the hero faces his greatest enemy. In this way, the public’s attention is diverted towards the potential of the film saga, distancing Todd Phillips to continue exploiting a world of comics that has always seemed to repudiate with out of place statements.
The story of Arthur Fleck could already be considered finished
The two films are films that do not care about the intertextuality between franchises. However, batman lays the groundwork for future spin-offs and sequels that will explore the evolution of the characters featured in his “Batverse.” In fact, the Matt Reeves film takes pains to make it very clear that all of these characters have a long way to go in terms of development. For his part, the transformation of Arthur Fleck into a murderous psychopath, with that bloody smile at the end, is the moment in which his entire story culminates. would it be fun to see Joker 2 with Joaquin Phoenix being a great villain? Yes. Is it really necessary? Of course not.
