Few superhero films in recent years have sparked a hype as Joker. When the DC blockbuster appeared in 2019, he sparked violent discussions about real potential for violence. At the box office, the film by Hangover director Todd Phillips became a mega success, which recorded over a billion dollars worldwide.
Last year the sequel started with Joker 2: film à deux, which could hardly differ more from part 1. The sequel became the disaster commercially. At Skys Wow * Joker 2 is now available for the first time in a streaming subscription in the home cinema.
Continuation of billions of hit: This is the action by Joker 2
The story of the DC sequel ties in with the end of Joker. Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) sits in the Psychiatry of Arkham, where he is waiting for his court trial. Before he responsible for his murderous deeds from the predecessor Must, he becomes friends with his co -mesh Harleen Quinzel (Lady Gaga).

Joker 2 is radically different from the celebrated predecessor
The DC sequel is said to have cost $ 200 million, but there is little to see in the film itself. On the contrary: Joker 2 is extremely reduced and comparatively minimalistic. The plot almost only takes place behind the Arkham prison walls and in the court room, while from the outside world of Gotham Citys there is hardly anything left.
For this purpose, Joker 2 was realized as (anti) musical, which is reflected in almost brittle, withdrawn vocal and dance performances. In addition, there are many dark, hard moments that make the film look even more bleak and devastated than the firstling. Joker 2 is above all Todd Phillips’ radical billing with the hype around part 1 and the joker personnel.
The sequel deconstructs the Batman psychopath and reduces him again to Arthur Fleck as a person who has to face the consequences of his actions. The sequel is doomed to fail from the start and the commercial failure may be exactly what the director had in mind. Either way, Joker 2 is an exciting blockbuster experiment that cannot be seen regularly in this lavishly budgeted form.
Joker 2: Slide à Deux is now streaming at Skys WoW in the subscription.
