Not really surprised by this. I was however baffled that it was announced at all.
I don't think even the most diehard fans of the first movie felt it needed a sequel.

There was plenty of people back in 2019 who were convinced that the Bruce Wayne cameo was a setup for Batman appearing in a future movie... which totally ignored the fact that this Joker would be about 70 by the time Bruce became Batman, and that Phillips was adamant that he had no intention of making a sequel, much less a trilogy or more. Seen a few pissed off reactions online already that the Batman tease wound up "meaning nothing."

Lady Gaga may not be the main reason quality expectations for this movie plummeted, but I can’t be the only one who got, “Rock holding up Roman’s hand at Royal Rumble 2015” vibes from this poster, right?

There were three of us in my theater when i saw it Thursday, and we all remained until the very end, each watching it solo, sitting about two rows apart from each other. As a movie like this deserves, I suppose. lol

Todd Phillips saving the DCEU aged like milk faster than the idea Bruce Timm, minus Dini filters, could do the same.

It was a joker movie in name only.

Hacky moment in Joker that doesn't get dunked on nearly enough, Bruce sliding down a pole to go talk to Arthur because get it Batman did that 60 years ago.

NOBODY was in my theater. Actually no, this one couple walked in about a third into it (which is roughly about how long it takes for stuff to actually start happening) and they left halfway through maybe one of the trial scenes . But aside from them, me and the organ conductor who plays jingles before the screenings, empty. That was prime theatre-hoppin' time going to waste. Gotta get while the getting's good.

I do find it ironic that, for a movie that mostly sets out to tell the crowd that idolized the first film that they're wrong about everything, the closest thing this movie has to a through line is bad things happen in Arthur Fleck's life because of a woman.
On a completely unrelated note, I find it very telling that the Hollywood press reaction to this being a miserable failure has been to circle the wagons around Phillips, which is very different to how they treated Nia DaCosta when The Marvels underperformed, despite that film being hampered by the then-ongoing strikes.

I know it's hard to classify Joker as a "Superhero genre" set of films given how loosely it even feels like it has to do with the world, but since it's still DC, I suppose it counts... so is it safe to say this is the worst falloff for a Superhero/villain film from movie one to two?
Hell this might be one of the worst falloffs from a movie to its sequel of all time, given the lofty standard set by the first and its Oscar recognition
But given the budget and how it appears like it will be a Box Office flop, it has to be up there...

How did it cost $200 million? Turns out that the rights to Pepe Le Pew clips are more expensive than one would think! They needed the money to buy the Justice League Computer. After helping the Superfriends acknowledge that Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern really existed despite the Legion of Doom changing history, WB decided they needed the computer so that they may rescue Pepe from the purgatory he was put in since 2021.

I let my morbid curiosity get the better of me and decided to go see it. I went in with an open mind...I even enjoy some film musicals. I thought the 2012 Les Mis was amazing. I quite enjoyed Johnny Depp's Sweeney Todd.
Joker 2 is not some historically bad disaster like it's been made out to be. There's some cool cinematography, acting, and even music, I guess. It's just so f***ing boring, which is the worst thing a movie can be. It's not even, like, a trainwreck you can't take your eyes off of or anything, it's just an ultra-pretentious arthouse film where nothing happens for 2 hours, and the characters all feel like bowdlerizations of the source material.
The ultimate example of a sequel that absolutely did not need to be made.
