I'm guessing it took a pay hike to get Phoenix to agree to a sequel, and I'm sure Gaga wasn't cheap. And if there are big song and dance numbers with a lot of performers and sets that would obviously cost more. I get the feeling the whole thing is 'bigger'. Not sure about anything else.Where do you all think the budget is going on this movie? The first one was only like $60 million, and this is $200 million.
Yeah, I’m curious about what Phoenix is going to take in. Gaga is getting $12 million per Wikipedia.I'm guessing it took a pay hike to get Phoenix to agree to a sequel, and I'm sure Gaga wasn't cheap.

Impressive numbers in terms of engagement, so far:
And that's from 3 days ago. It went 30m less than a week. Crazy stuff, indeed.

Assuming that Lily Adler's gif avatar is Gaga's prime, fully-formed look as Harley Quinn, what do people here make of it as a comparison to the iconic look that Margot Robbie's version had in the first Suicide Squad movie?
Captain Clown alone makes that factual.How can any Batman character be classified as definitive when there are a million different versions out there?
But the correct answer is BTAS
The GA certainly seems to deem him worthy of such a title. It's pretty much all I've seen everywhere for the past few years, even when I was a fan it made me roll my eyes. And you wouldn't believe the mental gymnastics I've seen folks use to try and rationalize him becoming a more "classic" Joker just because they like him THAT much.Is that Joker really considered as definitive? I've never seen such claims, or very, very marginally.
Seems to me like the consensus is that Phillips and Phoenix are just doing their thing and that it's clear we're dealing with "Arthur" more than "The Joker".
I mean, does anyone really expect this character to end up like the classic "Clown Prince of Crime" and face off against Batman?
One might ask why use the Joker brand if the story is so different, but that's also what made Elseworld.
Personally, I'm fine with it, as I don't care much for comic book dogma when it comes to adapting them for the big screen (as long as the essence is still there).
EDIT: Sorry, I'm parroting the last posts...
Each joker is iconic in its own way, I don't see why compare them when we are lucky enough to have so many successful versions.
I love them all (not you Jared Leto!).

My admittedly quite mean-spirited take is that you can tell that he's a little TOO much of a fan. His performances feel very hollow to me, like he got too caught up in the fact that he got to play The Joker instead of....just playing The Joker, if I'm making any sense at all??Points for excluding Letoker. But also points reducted for not including the far underrated Cameron Monaghan in the Gotham show.
