    Doing a Joker film as a thinly-veiled Scorcese pastiche to lure in all the overly self-serious young men, and then doing the sequel as a jukebox musical is a practical joke worthy of Jocker himself.

      Cause money, Birds of Prey had a budget around ~$90 million, Joker had a budget of about ~$55.

      Birds of Prey made about $200 million net gross in the box office as Joker made over $1 billion.

        Yes but joker made moneybas it was pretty good and was different to expectations.

        This sounds like it wasnt. Although, it does sound a little different to what I expected.

    Well I just learned from this article that the movie is a musical. And I love musicals, but that’s weird.

      I noped out of wanting to see it in theaters when they announced it. I thought Joker was really good, and was excited about a sequel. A musical was certainly a choice. I am waiting for streaming if I ever do watch it.
