It’s obvious that Todd didn’t really want to do another Joker but the suits pressured him to directed the second film anyway so he was like

“fukk it, might as well make this nikka go out with a bang so they won’t bother me anymore.”

watch if it gets a third, it'd be like hangover iii and be some nonsensical shift...although maybe this is his hangover iii and if we get a third Joker, it'll be his hangover 2

Streets are saying

Spoiler: ENDING SPOILER

A car bomb goes off outside the courthouse after Arthur is found guilty. This allows him to escape thanks to the help of some of his followers. He ultimately flees to stairs that we all know and finds Lee. She leaves him because she realizes he’s not really the Joker and the police take him back into custody. Back in prison, the guards come to get Arthur to see a visitor. An inmate stops him, tells a “joke”, then repeatedly stabs Arthur in the stomach. As he’s left bleeding out on the floor, the unnamed inmate cackles and appears to carve a “smile” into his own face.

Smh I hope their not implying what I think they are implying

The ending.

Now I say 1% but they do tease and foreshadow the scene/twist a few times throughout the course of The Joker 2, just in a way you may not initially get upon first viewing. I’d argue not because of how clever it is either, but because of how…it’s certainly a choice.

I know I said spoilers but again, seriously, this is the point of no return.

Arthur ends up back in Arkham, the humanity in him winning out over “The Joker”. Harley having abandoned him upon realising he’s not Joker, he’s Arthur. Except that’s not a figure of speech like you may think, neither are the other hints leading up to another inmate walking up to Arthur (one we have seen in the background throughout the movie though his face has been largely obscured until now).

The inmate tells Arthur a joke, before Arthur can answer with the punchline the inmate stabs him to death. The inmate then gives himself the Glasgow smile, revealing he is the true Joker.

A brief director Q&A after the film further implied the events of the first movie may be not what they seem (to us). That Arthur was imagining himself/confusing himself as “The Joker” but many of the actual actions of “Joker” in the first film was this Joker that stabbed Arthur, “the true” Joker. And that one of the few instances of Arthur actually being Joker was the ending of the first movie, where he was wrongfully blamed for the actions of this Joker due to claiming responsibility that led to the trial in this one (and Harley wrongly falling for Arthur).

Also during the Q&A they teased this was a younger version of Heath Ledger’s Joker and this was somehow an origin movie for The Dark Knight’s Joker (even though this Gotham and Nolan’s don’t jive).

lol this is dumb … thanks I won’t even watch this when it hit tnt

Did not know critics and people hated the 1st movie that much. Loved the 1st movie and preparing myself for disappointment on Friday. As long as Joker is good, hopefully I csn bear it

Have ticket for a Dolby Atmos show tomorrow. I expect to at least enjoy the cinematography. I remember all the hate before and right after the 1st Joker movie released, so I will judge for myself since I enjoyed it.

Some of the reviews are brutal. I try to avoid reviews for the most part but I'm out on this. The musical element seems distracting and filler, and if the ending is what I saw a leak of yeah, I'm out on this until it hits the streams.

Smh I hope their not implying what I think they are implying

Spoiler

After the first film there was a lot of theories that said Arthur was not the true Joker but would instead be the inspiration behind the character we would come to know. This film seems to be saying those theories are correct or Arthur is straight up fugazi, either way it's stupid

200 million budget?

But Zaslav lost the NBA on TNT and cut Game Of Thrones Season 2 episodes
