When Joker premiered here in Venice in 2019, one of the prevailing narratives was that the movie could be dangerous. The film's embrace of Arthur Fleck's perspective, the thinking went, might inspire disgruntled young men to commit acts of real-life violence. In reality, what toxicity it generated emerged as memes instead of movements, but this seems to have impacted the filmmakers enough to make Joker: Folie à Deux about that very idea.
Related Joker: Folie À Deux - Trailer, Release Date, Cast & Everything We Know Joker: Folie à Deux's star-studded cast, exciting premise, and doubled budget from its predecessor all point towards a truly promising release. Joker: Folie À Deux Takes Aim At Toxic Fan Culture And Especially Those Who Misread The First Movie Fan culture, and toxic fan culture specifically, is an immediate presence. We learn a TV movie was made about Fleck's case ahead of the trial, which has made him somewhat popular again. He also commands the attention of his fellow inmates, especially as the trial progresses. Arthur has accrued followers in his world, as was once feared he'd do in ours.
That said, thematically, Lee is fully realized. The film's subtitle, folie à deux, is a French term for shared psychosis, but it's just as possible for a shared delusion to be imposed by one person on another as it is mutually triggered. Arthur is certainly prone to psychosis, but throughout the film, it feels as if Lee is making him into something he's not.

Consider when Gary , Arthur's former colleague who watched him commit one of his murders, comes in to testify. Joker caught flak for the scene in which Gary, who has dwarfism, cannot reach the chain lock on Arthur's door to flee after the killing. I can still remember my audience laughing. Philips is once again staging a corrective in Folie à Deux, as Gary testifies to the suffering Arthur caused him, and how that moment specifically made him feel so small.
