Joker 2 theory suggests Harley Quinn and Joker's relationship might be an inverse of the comics, and we're convinced

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Joker 2 trailer has arrived – and it's spurred a very conv🍷incing fan theory. 

In the trailer, we see Harley Quinn and the Joker strike up a relat🌜ionship, but with a few key differences to the dynamic we see in the comics. 

. "I'm thinking Arthur is trying not to relapse back into his Joker persona but Harley is the one influencing him more to embrace it."

We have to sa🥃y, we're pretty sold on this. The trailer shows Joker, AKA Arthur Fleck, in Arkham – and it looks like Harley's influence pulls him back towards his old, evil clown ways. For one thing, we see Harley lean over and say "let's get out of here," to Joker when they're both in Arkham, and she's seen applying Joker's face paint for him later in the trailer. Then, when visiting him at the end of the trailer, she draws a red smile on the glass separating them as her voiceover says: "I want to see the real you." 

In DC comics, Joker is the one who corrupts Harley Quinn – she🐠 was a psychiatrist who fell in love with him and followed him in🦂to supervillainy. Flipping the script like this is certainly a refreshing change. 

Joaquin Phoenix returns as Joker in the sequel, with Lady Gaga joining the cast as Harley Quinn. Other newcomers include St༒eve Coogan, Catherine Keener,꧒ and Brendan Gleeson, while Zazie Beetz is also returning. Todd Phillips is back to direct.
