In the second trailer of Joker: Folie a Deux, released on Tuesday night, Arthur Fleck, the lonely, depressed, and failed comedian, finds love in a hopeless place. The trailer opens with a glimpse of Joaquin Phoenix as the titular Joker, who once altered Gotham City’s fate. A voiceover begins: “They believe Arthur Fleck to be some kind of martyr. Well, he is not. He’s a monster,” as he heads to his trial, accompanied by his signature, eerie laugh. Lady Gaga then appears as his muse, Harley Quinn, and together, they vow to “give the people what they want.”
