Frank Sinatra’s cover of That’s Life had played an integral part of the first Joker movie, so it would make sense that they would bring back the song in some way with the sequel. Just in, WB has dropped a new trailer for Joker: Folie a Deux showcasing That’s Life, but this time, covered by none other than Lady Gaga.
Check this out:
With Joker: Folie a Deux said to be more of a musical than the first movie, it’s been described as a ‘jukebox musical’ featuring covers of pre-existing songs that will all play a significant part in the telling of this new origin of this Joker and Harley.
While the toxic romance of Joker and Harley Quinn has been explored time and again in television, movies, and comics, Folie a Deux looks to be changing the formula this time around. Whereas Harley was originally a psychiatrist that Joker duped into falling in love with him; this version of “Lee” is also a fellow mental patient of Arthur Fleck.
It’s also worth noting that Joker and Harley’s romance was always portrayed as toxic, with Harley’s main arc consisting of her respecting herself and leaving Joker; but this time, it does seem that both are supportive and dependent on each other, and it’s kind of hinted in the previews that it’s Harley who will actually be pulling the strings of Arthur—who just happens to be the symbol he didn’t know he was going to be.
I’m just hoping this all builds up to a third movie with Joker and Batman, but we’re just going to have to wait and see.
Catch Joker: Folie a Deux when it hits cinemas on Oct. 4.
