In the trailer for the upcoming sequel to the Joker film, Lady Gaga can be observed bringing her musical talent, dancing skills, and an edgy, volatile love affair to the table.

The entertainer takes on the role of Harley Quinn in the revamped edition of Joker: Folie à Deux, starring alongside Joaquin Phoenix, who was awarded an Academy Award for his performance in the first film.

It appears as though the couple met and developed romantic feelings for each other whilst in Arkham Asylum, and subsequently managed to escape together to create a musical team.

Todd Phillips, the director, clarified that the upcoming project is not a musical despite some rumors, but emphasized that music plays a vital role.

Phoenix earned an Academy Award for his outstanding portrayal of the lead character in the movie Joker, which was released in 2019.

Here are seven noteworthy observations from the trailer of the sequel.

Gaga Rides Like A Harley

In the 2019 movie's conclusion, Arthur Fleck (also known as Joker) was abandoned at Arkham Asylum. Whilst Harley Quinn participates in a singing session within the facility, their glances cross.

The beginning of her tale is that she worked as a psychiatrist at a facility and had a strong fixation on the unsuccessful comic who is also known as the "king of criminals." However, currently, it is uncertain whether she is a prisoner or part of the staff at the same institution.

Pictures According to the latest reports from Warner Bros. Pictures, the highly anticipated movie 'The Batman' has been delayed yet again. Originally slated for release in June 2021, the film is now set to hit theaters on March 4, 2022. This marks the second delay for the movie, which was initially pushed back due to production delays caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Warner Bros. Pictures have announced that 'The Batman' movie will now be released on March 4th, 2022, instead of the previously planned June 2021 date. The movie has faced a delay twice now, initially due to the COVID-19 pandemic stopping production progress. Many fans were looking forward to seeing the film as soon as possible, but will now have to wait a bit longer.

According to Alex Stedman from IGN, there appears to be a significant change in Harley Quinn's origin story. It seems that she is now portrayed as a patient in Arkham Asylum rather than as a psychiatrist.

It appears that the era of Dr. Harleen Quinzel has ended and is no longer present.

If she's working there instead of living there, it could clarify how she's capable of aiding his escape.

"She says we should leave," he hears her whisper, just before they appear in an imaginary dance scene on the roof."

Suddenly, the scene shifts to a grimy street in Gotham City, where the pair carries on their lighthearted dance, while ambulances and fire trucks hurry towards the direction of the pandemonium they've recently sparked.

"The Joker And Harley's Band"

Pictures The blog post was apparently discussing a topic related to a certain movie. The source of the picture used in the post was attributed to Warner Bros Pictures.

The protagonist can be heard saying in a voiceover that music is utilized to bring out our complete selves and to even out any internal cracks.

Joker has discovered a companion in both romance and villainy, as well as music. A video features them performing on a television program as Joker & Harley, with an entire band and supporting vocalists.

The preview features the song What the World Needs Now Is Love, which gained popularity in 1965 with Jackie DeShannon's rendition.

Phillips stated at CinemaCon on Tuesday that the movie regards music as a crucial aspect, and he prefers to describe it in that manner instead of referring to it specifically as a musical.

For me, that statement doesn't stray too much from the initial movie," he expressed, supplementing that in the primary film, "Arthur possesses a natural ability for music. He has a charming quality to him."

"Steps Routine Nods"

The picture is originating from Warner Bros.

Certainly, one of the most popular moments in the initial movie showcased Joker's dance down a set of stone steps. In the latest preview, Harley is observed climbing up those exact stairs.

In a different part of the video, she and Joker imitate his first dance while progressing down stairs that resemble those of a courthouse, with excited crowds on both sides.

Fortunately, no tracks by Gary Glitter are included this time.

White Wedding, Why Not?

In a different scene, Harley can be seen donning a white wedding attire and a veil. She joyously dances towards a chapel where her beloved Joker awaits her, dressed in a matching white suit. As she reaches the altar, we can see that Joker is not alone, he is also accompanied by some bridesmaids that serve as his backup singers.

Nevertheless, this is just one of many imaginary scenes that bring back memories of old-school Hollywood musical films.

One individual on platform X made a remark that it seems similar to the 2016 film La La Land, but catered towards "individuals who experience auditory hallucinations".

The English person in the comedy and acting field appears briefly in the preview as an individual with some level of influence who inquires of Arthur/Joker: "What's different now?"

"I can share that things are different now - I have company," he responds.

When Coogan showed up, it sparked excitement in some individuals who were anticipating a recurrence of a quote made by his well-known character, Alan Partridge, in which he stated: "I am Batman!" It would definitely be an unexpected turn of events.

"A Perfectly Captured Ending"

The picture used in this post is owned by Warner Bros.

The trailer concludes with a calm scene where Harley is seen visiting Arthur in jail after they wreaked havoc, including street riots, a crowded room explosion in front of TV cameras (was it filmed in the same studio as their performance?), and Joker and Harley fleeing together from a blazing building.

She uses her crimson lipstick to trace a bent line on the barrier separating them and utters: "I desire to glimpse your genuine self."

Phoenix's sad expression gradually transforms into a huge grin that matches with the blurred lipstick to instantly turn into Joker's iconic red face paint.

Today, I am going to write about an interesting blog section that caught my attention. I stumbled upon a blog post that featured an image from Warner Bros, a well-known entertainment company that produces movies, TV shows and more. This image definitely stood out to me and made me want to explore the blog even further.

We hope that the amazing shot was achieved after several hundred attempts of practice, instead of simply adding the lipstick through digital editing.
