The final trailer shows Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn serenading Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck with a cover of Frank Sinatra's "That's Life" as he goes to court to put the society that cast him out on trial for his derangement.
If Joker: Folie à Deux has some tricks up its sleeve, it's hidden them very high up. While the first Joker was a new spin on the villain's origin story fused with contemporary societal angst, the sequel will have to stand on its own two feet.
Without a Batman to play off of, Gaga will have a lot to shoulder in terms of being a foil, rather than just a love interest or enabler, for the Joker.
The sequel hits theaters October 4 and continues a steady march of comic book movies this year, beginning with the much maligned Madame Web, peaking with the box office juggernaut Deadpool & Wolverine.
