Split image of Joker and Batman from The Batman
Joker: Folie à Deux has a few connections to Batman lore, but I'm disappointed that it abandoned one of its coolest changes from the first film. Joker 2 is not a standard comic book film, and follows its predecessor by being a slow-paced crime thriller - but this time while balancing also being a musical. There were hopes that the movie would serve as a follow-up that continued Arthur's transformation into Joker, but that's not strictly what happened.
Joker Slightly Changed Batman's Origin Story Joker connected Batman's origin story to the clown prince of crime.

Arthur finds a letter from his mother, claiming he is Thomas Wayne's illegitimate son, possibly setting up that Bruce and Arthur are half-brothers.
✕ Remove Ads Joker 2's Ending Makes Arthur's Connection To Bruce Wayne Insignificant Arthur's death spoils any tie between him and Batman. Close The Joker 2 ending sees Arthur renouncing his identity as Joker and returning to prison. While there, another inmate fatally stabs him, repeating the infamous"You get what you f***ing deserve" line Arthur said before killing Murray Franklin in the first movie.
I'm disappointed with this ending for a few reasons. It's a cheap way to tease a future Joker, and removes almost any connection that the Joker we've been following has with Batman. The idea that Joker's revolution caused Batman is interesting, and it was nice to believe that the chaos of that riot inspired a young Bruce Wayne to eventually clean up the city.
